You can’t even describe this as insanity. It’s too deliberate, too calculated. This is evil expressed in a landscape.

This week, Sen Patricia Stephenson's scheme allowing domestic violence survivors to avail of three months of free travel, has become available. It means that, wherever you are in the country, leaving an abusive situation just got that bit easier. Apply here to avail of the scheme: buff.ly/U4AxhqL

Everyone in society benefits from a public model of childcare. From employers and workers in the now, to healthcare services and policing into the future. A public model of childcare isn’t radical. It’s responsible.

Another shout for the donate link, if you can spare a few euro to help the high court JR case against this insanity. Clare CoCo refused planning & ACP's inspector was against it. The residents want a tertiary treatment plant done properly. www.gofundme.com/f/save-kilke... #Speirgorm

Absolute ráiméis from the Uisce Eireann representative in this. How could any sane person think that this is an appropriate place for a water treatment site? Bonkers. #Kilkee #SpeirGorm

Mother of god! Shane Lynch from Boyzone is now flogging a range of dupe perfumes called Amen Fragrances. I shit you not. #Speirgorm

Return is their right and their destiny.

The "thrust" of the SocDems argument is that we trust women. We believe in legislation that is evidence-based. There is no evidence-based, justification for the wait and it tells every woman in Ireland that we don't trust their judgement. The independent review recommends the removal #spéirgorm

I'm conscious with the transition from the other place to here that it can be difficult to reconnect with accounts you used to follow as they just mightn't pop up in your feed. I'd encourage everyone to follow @womensaidireland.bsky.social to help spread their meesage about the vital work they do.

I know people hate links to Facebook but there's no other way to share this. This video explains Uisce Eireann's planned water treatment facility for Kilkee and why it will be absolutely detrimental to our cliffs, beach and town. #SaveKilkeeCliffWalk #Speirgorm www.facebook.com/share/v/1EP9...

Today’s Clare Champion. This Sunday at 1pm there is an event to mark Hind’s birthday at the Shannon Peace Roundabout. #spéirghorm

“Humanity goes before the sport - it's that simple." Former Palestine captain Imad Zatara wants to send a message to Irish football - boycotting the games against Israel would send a powerful message to the world. Full interview & video here: philipoconnor.com/humanity-goe... #SpeirGorm

The Beersheba District Court approved Tuesday morning the extension of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s detention under the Unlawful Combatants Law without filing any charges, and rejected the defense’s request for his immediate release,” Physicians for Human Rights #spéirghorm #freethemall

A Bill to amend our abortion law - and ensure women no longer have to travel when they receive a devastating diagnosis of fatal foetal abnormality - is being introduced in the Dáil today by Holly Cairns. Govt must act on recommendations of Marie O'Shea's 2023 report. @hollycairns.bsky.social

Absolutely shameful. The EU is a full and active partner in apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians, especially Germany and Italy who blocked this. Kallas = complicit #SanctionsNow EU members reject proposal to suspend EU-Israel Association Agreement www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Record rents, record house prices, and record homelessness - yet the Government keeps insisting everything is on track. People are being pushed into renting cabins and sheds with no protections, no rights, and no security. If this is the plan for housing, who is it really working for?

Just a rant

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it. It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

The dubbing is AI but the content is A1. The likes of Fox News should really take note. She's going to need a doctor for that burn. #Speirgorm

I've been thinking about this all weekend and I'm even more bothered about it since I saw the photo of Scarlett Faulkner's daughter on the front of one paper. The media have become far too intrusive at funerals. No one wants to see photographers and reporters running around trying to get the 1/2

There is no “middle ground” when it comes to my right to exist and live openly, meaningfully and free from discrimination and persecution in society.

Every now and then my teenage son surprises me with his music choices. Now is not one of those times. Mother of jaysus, make it stop! #Speirgorm This 👇 but for my poor ears!

Ken O'Flynn TD has responded to the Soc Dems complaint about the behaviour of Independent Ireland TDs on Facebook. He couldn't pass up the opportunity to throw in a transphobic comment. He's a nasty piece of work. #Speirgorm

Friday 24th in Limerick 💚✊️

But they gave the impression that everything was rosy in the garden yesterday with their votes of confidence. #Speirgorm

The meta, Meta and meaning of the Irish fuel protests - a longish read about what more than 20 years of studying and covering the far right has taught me about these political moments. #speirgorm philipoconnor.com/the-meta-met...

People are scared of the next bill landing through their door. The cost of living crisis is hitting families hard and they need real support now. We’re proposing a €400 energy credit, support for essential workers and investment in solar to cut bills long term.

Follow-up to “The Blockade Is the Message” is up. 3 collapses in a weekend the blockade ended: 📌a gov’t that found €750m for a tractor but not €100m for disability 📌an opposition that filed the right motion on the wrong grounds 📌a tradition claimed by people it was built against 🔗 shorturl.at/j7lWA

They stuck to the deal - two votes, one (returned) ministry. #Speirgorm

Brian Stanley TD "there was no far right." He should have gone to Specsavers for those glasses. #Speirgorm

Thanks @cethanleahy.com and @philipoconnor.bsky.social for the inspo 😂 #Spéirghorm

Every argument that we should cut welfare to pay for other things we want is an argument that the poorest and most vulnerable should foot the bill and live with the harm.

You have to laugh at what some people are posting. I've just seen a few who will proudly tell you that they've never voted in their lives posting about the motion of no confidence in the government and calling for a general election 🙄 #Speirgorm

And now they want a "National day of strike and protest" tomorrow! They're asking businesses to close and people to stay home from work! As per Chris Duffy's Facebook page and being widely shared. #FuelProtests #Speirgorm

There's a fine big pot of money sitting in a gofundme to feed the protesters. The Muslim Sisters of Éire and other homeless charities would make great use of it. #FuelProtests #Speirgorm

The #FuelProtests in a nutshell #Speirgorm

You may feel powerless to respond to hate but you are not. One small thing you can do, which will make a real difference, is donate to the Muslim Sisters of Éire. I just did it, and it only takes a moment. These incredible women show up day after day to feed unhoused people. msoe.ie/donate/

First time we have seen this in 5 days of protests - Gardai using an army heavy towing vehicle to move blockade tractors off the road at Whitegate - vid Brian Connolly

Some of the protesters are being paid their wages while they're protesting! One of them said it while he was being interviewed by RTE. This is gas altogether considering that they've accused the left of being paid protesters for years but this is the first time I've seen it happen. #Speirgorm

There's a gofundme for the protesters to keep them fed and watered 🙄 They're all there by choice FFS. #Speirgorm

This 👇 all of us especially our government. #Speirgorm

This fella, John Dallon, was interviewed by Eddie Hobbs this evening and he and Christopher Duffy were also doing a Facebook Live with Niall McConnell a little while ago. The smell of fash keeps getting stronger. #Speirgorm

My mother witnessed an ambulance having to go onto the grass verge yesterday outside Limerick. My friend just witnessed the ERU struggling to get through traffic in the Castlestroy area of Limerick. Tell me again how emergency vehicles aren't being hindered. #Speirgorm
