Fair point, thoughtful article.

Spring in Clontarf. Just a week ago we were endlessly complaining about the weather. Now we’re all telling each other how glorious the weather is.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin's 40-minute Oval Office appearance alongside Donald Trump yesterday has drawn a split reaction, with strong criticism from opposition parties at home jrnl.ie/6988078

‘Donald Trump does not know the Irish president is a woman. Mr Martin did not interject to correct Mr Trump on President Connolly’s gender.’ Not good enough, Taoiseach, simply not good enough.

One of those war moments, again.

Meanwhile in Gaza…

Hurling in a football county - lovely reality check by RTE’s Mikey Stafford.

Why Irish women's history belongs in every museum and not just one. Opening a standalone women's museum in Ireland in 2026 risks reinforcing separation at a time when integration should be the goal, writes @gillianobrien.bsky.social @ljmuofficial.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

We are in “no quarter” land. I for one will be prepared and ready for the day when we start universal jurisdiction and war crimes processes. The long arm of accountability awaits …

Well worth a listen. I learned a lot.

Proof positive that at 7.04pm on Thursday 12 March on the banks of the Royal Canal in Dublin, it wasn’t raining.

Breathnaím ar loch san áit a mbíonn cosán uaireanta, arís. Cuimhním ar chomhrá le bean a chaith tamall ina cónaí in Abu Dhabi. ‘An rud is mó a choinnigh sona muid thall,’ a dúirt sí, ‘comhluadar na nEireannach eile.’ Cosúil le hÉirinn, mar sin. Ainneoin droch-aimsire. Arís. Agus arís agus arís eile.

‘Would we tolerate people running amok in the National Gallery or at Newgrange? Why does it seem inconceivable that Bull Island would not have permanent wardens like any other site of such importance?’ Great question.

‘Lowry is no victim, irrespective of how well he plays the role’ - Mick Clifford.

The children for whom being ‘in care’ means the opposite. Seriously good work by RTE’s Aisling Kenny.

Good letter, sensible question.

A member of the US Congress talks about attempts to uncover still-concealed aspects of the Epstein scandal and the official roadblocks put in his way. Brilliant and frightening interview with @frost.house.gov by @hcrichardson.bsky.social.

Idea.

Sorry but there is no such thing as ‘very complete’. Something is either complete or it isn’t. Completeness doesn’t come in a range of degrees, unless of course you’re preparing to declare victory when it’s obvious your blood-soaked victory is by no means complete.

‘Is ábhar uafáis agus eaglach iad na sáraithe atá á ndéanamh ar an dlí idirnáisiúnta os ár gcomhair amach, ach ní féidir linn fanacht ciúin’ - an tUachtarán Catherine Connolly.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this. The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”

Yesterday I chatted to Andrea Gilligan @newstalkfm.bsky.social about broken housing system & #DerelictIreland I emphasised need for effective vacancy tax, full enforcement of dereliction laws, & new measures such as Compulsory Sales & Rental Orders #speirgorm link.goloudplayer.com/s/pGPXYu2wJEPz

On reflection, Dublin Bay.

The Gaza tactic: bomb hospitals.

Just another case showing where our useless laws on dereliction, or the laughable penalties, or inadequate enforcement, or a combination of all three, can lead. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

Spin. My @smh cartoon.

Dublin’s top of the class for…pollution from ferries. Dublin Port needs to speed up their plans for clean shore-to-ship power. Oh, and a shout-out to Lois Kapila of @DublinInquirer.com for her work on this. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/fer...

Teacht.

This statement by Marco Rubio is a thing of beauty. No notes. It can be taken exactly as is and dropped into Orwell's 1984. I believe the correct Homeric adjective for military reasoning like this is "Hell-kissed." Get thee to the Smithsonian, war crime-speak.

Imeacht.

Bad news everywhere you look, so this story - welcome at any time - lights up these days of horror, Another reason to visit Amsterdam, again.

It's so frustrating to see yet another new record: 17,112 people, including 11,793 adults and 5,319 children accessed emergency accommodation in January, while there are over 160,000 empty houses and 20,000 derelict houses in Ireland.😡 #DerelictIreland #HousingCrisis
