Spot on Richie Sadlier, the FAI should not play Israel, UEFA should expel the apartheid state. We disagree that it would be self-sabotage to boycott though, it would be upholding international law and UEFA's own rules, and of course standing with the Palestinian people #BanIsrael Video RTÉ Sport

Intelligence is an aphrodisiac. Nato Green is a smart cookie. I love Nato Green. 💙

Can't stress enough how damn important this lot were. Remember having a conversation with my cousin in her car in '94 as we drove in LA. "Do you remember how dangerous people thought they were?" "Lock up your daughters, it's The Beastie Boys.." "Oh yeah, like that would've worked. Total catnip."

I stupidly thought this wouldn't hit as hard as it did. I. Am. A. Fool. Thanks @lighthousecinema.bsky.social for It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (and yes, it was his ghost I saw making its way down Beale Street in October '98)

It’s once again Girl Scout cookie season so it’s time for me remind everyone to please consider buying from NYC’s Girl Scout Troop 6000, which is entirely made up of girls living in NYC homeless shelters 🙏❤️

@faiofficial.bsky.social - and we get to play these at football? Lads, I think even the "stick to football" brigade would have a problem with this. #Sportswashing

It is in the national interest that you are told Michael D Higgins has posted an Instagram reel montage, for Valentine’s Day, of his late dog Bród

I wonder if RTE would/should show the game? If they're not willing to send a representative to Eurovision this year ... is it time for a cultural boycott? I'm just spitballing ideas ... #Speirgorm

It's just dawned on me @ciaraioch.bsky.social - you need to get to Dublin for a rugby Saturday! We could be setting you up with a lovely Italian guy right now! Damn! Next year! France, Wales AND Scotland! Three potentially golden opportunities!

Another from the before times - Microdisney. A repeat of the NCH show from the previous June. Didn't think my northern soul dreams would involve a bloke from Cork, but I got to hear Cathal Coughlan (!) sing "The Night"(!). Twice!! Aren't I lucky?!! 😊

great summary on why tech giants & bad actors want to attack the EU.👇

We did it! Congrats, @aodhanoriordain.bsky.social! The HOUS committee has just adopted the European Parliament’s first-ever housing report bearing strong progressive fingerprints, including a pledge regarding the child guarantee. We’re determined to defend our wins! 💪🏽🏡

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's vault in Mount Jerome, Dublin. I organised the restoration and plaque in co-operation with the Le Fanu family back in 2014 for the bicentenary of his birth. Here's what it looked like back then, all spiff and bedecked with flowers. JSLF passed away on 7 February 1873.
