No. It's the election for the Head of State. The person should be known and have experience already. Getting 20 Oireachtas members or 4 local authorities isn't a stretch for anyone who should have the experience and knowledge to take on the role of Uachtarán na hÉireann. #Spéirghorm

Hello folks of #aras25. I figured out the issue with the feed, its limitations with the free tier. I will upgrade the account tomorrow for the year and that should sort it. Apologies for the dip in service. Thanks for your patience

Disgusting 🤮 This whistleblower is being driven through hell by those with BAJILLIONS of money, networks & power for exposing sexual harassment & dastardly abuse of people using their platform. #spéirghorm #Meta #WynnWilliams

Preach

Oh wow Sam Altman was wrong. The man who suggested that Dyson Spheres would solve the energy crisis. Imagine my shock

Hello #aras25 I'm getting more reports on issues with the feed. Its hosted on a free service platform. I am going to raise a ticket with them to see if we can figure out what's going on and hopefully get it sorted. If not maybe I can switch providers, which will mean needing to create a new feed 1)

A member of an "institute" that promotes the church which influenced policy in this state for decades, and still dominates almost 90% of our schools, claims she would be a non-establishment candidate. Right, Ted. #Aras25

Know me by my friends and proposers #Áras25 #Aras25

An ex-Fine Gael councillor accused of sexual assault by three boys and shot in a punishment-style attack became an assistant to a High Court judge investigating the councillor’s senior party colleagues. www.ontheditch.com/ex-fine-gael...

I mean at this stage you can only laugh. The fucking state of it all. All the promises (lies) from the GE long since forgotten. #IrishPolitics #SpéirGorm

Why did Bertie Ahern resign from Fianna Fáil in 2012? #Áras25

When we discuss the genocide in Gaza, we must choose our words carefully. My letter in today's edition of the @irishtimes.com

#Madleen “Let the Madleen reach Gaza. Let this small ship carry the weight of global conscience. Let it land in peace.” Mary Robinson

oh yeah they love this story, you can believe that

Anti-science rhetoric costs lives. The internet has become a mecca for unskilled people to just off the dome harp on about whatever stupid thing pops into their head and amass a steady income stream from it, and its costing lives #anti-intellectualism #spiritual-narcissism #wellness

Try not to cry at EURO-COUNTRY: “All the big boys, all the Berties All the envelopes, yeah, they hurt me I was twelve when the das started killing themselves all around me” #FF disgusting attempt at a Bertie redemption path to the Áras. JFC 🤦🏾‍♀️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=_SVN... #spéirghorm #IrishPol

Relatedly I think journalism could maybe use stronger professional style norms around not anthropomorphizing the computer systems we report on/reference in our writing.

Endorse.

When it comes to it, having a President that calls out war & imperialism, even when it's not appropriate for govs to do it, is something worth having imo. Maybe that's a vital role that the Presidency has, to be above the machinations of foreign policy & preserve those principles for us. #Áras25

feeling this energy

We've had two Mary's and a Michael since 1990, it's fair to say anyone who has notions they're of the calibre of these people needs to be quickly disabused of that notion. We have a type, and narcissistic entrepreneurs and hacks aren't it #áras25
