Waterford section of greenway to New Ross opens — link into city expected in “late 2027” A long-awaited, around 7km section of the New Ross to Waterford Greenway was mostly opened with little fanfare over the weekend....

What’s it with all these holier than thou Loyalists. Iris Robinson and Jeffrey are just the high profile cases. They love telling us that gay and trans people are a problem - but every accusation is an admission. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

Our result here is shameful. Agricultural runoff and lack of investment in infrastructure because we gamely jumped on the neoliberal train instead of providing public services like a well run state should.

The housing estate I live in has freshly painted walls, extensive planting, regular cleanup events, an online marketplace, community events, a new green area and a thriving neighbourhood watch. This is mostly the work of immigrants.

Israeli army salting the earth in Lebanon with glyphosate. Russian drone attacks on orchard workers in Ukraine. Leaving fields unplanted because of rising fertiliser costs as people die of starvation around you. Warzone farming on #RTECountrywide today. Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

In celebration of the ROGUE TROOPER PREMIER being announced at the magnificent ANNECY INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION FILM FESTIVAL & MARKET this June, (that was a mouthful,) clamp your sensors on these POSTERS from Paolo Rivera and Chris Weston respectively-

"I wish the Irish Presidency well, and I think that it will be at its best when it seeks to restore a moderate credibility of some small stock to the European Union. The European Union has no credibility in relation to rights, human rights, the most basic norms of international law." He's not wrong

“according to the local Lebanese health ministry” is the new “according to the Hamas run health ministry” Casting subtle doubt and a sprinkling of ‘othering’ on anything that isn’t USraeli-approved.

Solstice. Find me sacrificing something (my dignity) as I dance, sky-clad around the standing stones, calling forth the Tuatha Dé Danann to smite the scourge of capitalism in Éire Do say: Nice dancing. The Fír Bolg will be shitting themselves. Don’t say: I can clearly see you’re nuts.

Israel has done damage to Jewish people the world over. I have one Jewish friend in particular who has been in deep and growing crisis as he witnesses the obscenities committed by Israel and the weaponising of antisemitism. Everyone knows that Israel cannot survive in its current form.

Family, including two daughters, killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza https://aje.news/1gu4ps

@inaturalist.bsky.social you must stop partnering with ecocidal, genocidal Israel. This is a moral imperative. I hope you can see it. Inaction is a political choice.

Mona Khalil - murdered yesterday by Israel. With weapons from? US, Germany, UK? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Kh...

'No ceasefire can be considered meaningful while children continue to be killed' says UNICEF.

Welllll it’s not all bad news. SsingSsing are always there with a hit of Korean Glam Folk. I love this Tiny Desk Concert. youtu.be/QLRxO9AmNNo

Irish disability charity AsIAm are refusing to make their website accessible. I discreetly told them a year ago that they were not compliant and were using software hated by disabled people and advised against by the National Disability Authority and the Centre for Universal Design. #speirgorm

Holding back humanity.

My heart is racing after seeing the raw grief of a little girl who cannot accept the awful reality of her mother’s murder by Israel. But Irish politicians are point blank refusing to sanction Israel in any way. Why? #Speirgorm

EU foreign ministers have again refused to take action against Israel.

"Sky News has verified the identities of everyone from the school who was killed. 120 students, 73 boys & 47 girls, aged from 6 to 13, & 26 teachers, who were killed in the strike". Tom Cheshire reports on the primary school bombed by the US. 120 children & 26 teachers, all murdered.

Just saw a beautiful little boy, calmly looking up as he lay in bed. Took me a moment to realise he was dead. Murdered yesterday by Israel. Another perfect innocent soul brutally and enthusiastically slaughtered by the monsters from Tel Aviv. The devastation of that loss. The tragedy of his death.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Dublin stood up against racism today. #SpeirGhorm #Speirgorm

Anti-fash counter-protests outnumber fash marches all the time and it would be cool if the press made a big deal about it.

What a fantastic day in Belfast. As the sun shone thousands protested against racism. Sadly as I watch the national news who were flying in their top reporters earlier this week I see no mention. Such massive imbalance only serves the racist right. Tell the real story about who we are please!

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

One of the dumbest men in the world is the richest man in the world. One of the dumbest men in the world is the most powerful man in the world. Both Elon and Donald are morons enabled by capitalism. Capitalism destroys science.

Some of the hidden effects of Israel’s apartheid are apparent in medical studies. Lack of access to medicines in Gaza which are freely available a few kms away (thanks American taxpayers) has long term detrimental effects. Even something like antihistamines. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

“We need to return to first principles, that all people are free, and all people are equal. “We must reclaim the language of universal human rights, and we have to defend the structures that were set up to implement those rights.” @president.ie President Catherine Connolly

Mary Harney, who was Born in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home, has been awarded a PhD by University of Galway at the age of 77. Marking the event, Harney said that education has been “the most important thing in the world” as she completed a decades-long academic journey. jrnl.ie/7069857

I live in a community that has a very significant mix of people from all over the world. The town is a shining example of highly successful integration. Far right agitators have tried to create conflict several times including once staging an assault against a woman. (never happened) and #speirghorm

Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and Keir Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting. QWHITE revealing!

We must stamp out and counter every shred of racism we see. In our families, ourselves and our community. There ARE NO RACES. There are only people. We can choose to be kind and decent and to share or not. Which choices make for a better world for all?

As we already know from the Ballymena Reaction Group that helped direct last year's pogrom with street by street house identifications, the PSNI will charge absolutely zero people over this. Ernie and Stephen Johnston and Lisa Miller continue to operate the group on Facebook.

Calling on the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.

The Dáil has voted 78 to 68 to defeat a bid from opposition parties to prevent the use of counselling notes in sexual assault prosecutions. Justice minister Jim O’Callaghan said his legal advice was that counsellors’ notes should be available, and that they can be of value in securing a prosecution.

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

NEW: One day after we revealed Meta was quietly building face recognition into its smart glasses, the latest version deletes it. Meta execs, who called our reporting "dishonest" and "misleading," continue to dodge our questions.

Labour is fucked, and a post-Brexit UK is about to be eaten alive by Russian assets. Time for a united Ireland, before this powder-keg of shite detonates. #spéirghorm #ireland

The U.S. spent $11B in the first week of the Iran War and have spent many times that in weeks since, dwarfing the subsidy China has given solar panels. This war is all about oil and is another example of how our entire society is effectively built around enormous subsidies for fossil fuels. 🔌💡

82 years ago today, June 6, 1944, a bunch of Antifa fanatics landed on Sword, Juno, Gold, Utah, and Omaha beaches. I had 3 Uncles there.

Casualty toll is expected to increase, reports Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud.

Hey #speirgorm. A video by “journalist” Caolan Robertson about the Aughinish Alumina plant. Robertson is a hack who has previously worked for Youth Defence and Tommy Robinson. Do not share.

How very sad - his poor mother. I hope the awful people who killed this man are brought to justice. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

Minister of State with responsibility for Sport Charlie McConalogue has said the Government supports the FAI's decision to partake in upcoming soccer internationals against Israel
