An labhrann tú Gaelainn age baile/ cad í teanga do thí? An í do chéad teanga í? Minicíocht úsáide (atá ann anois go pointe ach doiléir), cumas labhartha agus suíomhanna úsáide. An firic is tábhachtaí ná oibriú amach cén líon cainteoir laethúil atá ann is dóigh liom agus conas cur leis sin

Is é ar a trí ar maidin ⁊ le braon ar bord agat an t-am foirfe le teacht ar an mbop seo.

those who obsess over irregular immigration simply oppose all immigration and won’t say so, and appeasing this position invariably means either applying more pressure on a small and highly pressurized scapegoat group, with no effect on the numbers, or attacks on law-abiding regular immigrants

Under new plans to be unveiled by Labour, UK citizenship test has a whole section on Northern Ireland. If you get any of them right, you don't get citizenship.

Ireland scoring against Portugal

Catherine Connolly’s inaugural speech spoke of inclusivity - but what of those of us with only the cúpla focal, destined for the Gael-gulags? My latest in The Sunday Times.

Déardaoin an tseachtain seo chugainn. Bhí faitíos orm anuraidh agus an teideal 'Léachtóir in Oideachas STEM' orm go hoifigiúil nach mbeinn in ann do na ceisteanna agus go mbeinn náirithe, ach bld tháinig neart stuif ón Ardteist ar ais chugam, agus bhí an-craic againn. Bígí linn!

“Irish is having such a resurgence right now” a scríobhann Béarleoir eile, don mhíliú uair ar feadh 10 mbliana nuair a chasann sé ar duine atá beo ag úsáid an Ghaeilge amach sa saol.

Strongly feel that adults learning a new language should be treated like babies doing the same thing. Look, I'm going through a developmental leap this week, so I'm just going to be more cranky, hungrier, cry a lot at night etc.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Mar gheall ar ábhar cainte áirid atá ag dul thart le déanaí, tá mé ag filleadh go tromchúiseach ar an méim seo ó na seanlaethanta, ar nós an tseansaighdiúra ag tógáil an phíce anuas as an tuí. 😔

It shouldn't need to be explained to anyone, so soon after the Soldier F verdict, why Irish people might not want to be socially obliged to donate to a charity committed to uncritically commemorating all British wars, including Iraq and Northern Ireland, and financially supporting their veterans.

Leftists everywhere are winning elections and rising in polls by refusing to pander on the right on migrant rights, trans rights, Palestinian freedom etc. Let these lessons sink in, I beg

The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

The Government lurching to the right was 100% inevitable after the presidential election; this is how they deal with failure rather than any form of reflection. But I'm fairly shocked at the speed and vigour with which they've done it, not letting the attempted murder of refugees get in their way

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords. This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Crying about not being able to talk about migration while being one of the most powerful politicians in a country that has had almost 7 years of non stop talk about migration is top tier useless crybaby behavior

A real leader with courage & backbone and would have been out on the plinth at Dáil Eireann at 1000 this morning saying that this has gone too far and has to stop. They would have called out the tech giants & the liars who use their platforms to spread hate. Ireland clearly has no such leaders.

Not only society - culture, economics, infrastructure, etc

Here is my expensive, controversial, and confidential communications advice which I shall also reveal to the nation in my podcast midway through your campaign. #aras25 #spéirghorm

My last thought on the presidential elections is that we had to suffer through every stray thought that passed through Ivan Yates' brain, amplified by the media, without him ever saying he was being paid by one side, but it was only after the election that I read a 'who is Béibhinn O'Connor?' piece.

Never forget: your government didn't give a shit about 7 years of escalating arson attacks on IPAS centres & street assaults on immigrants & LGBT people & that they & the media described the arsonists & shitters on ballot papers as having "reasonable concerns." www.thetimes.com/article/0887...

If a PBP TD said that there were too many foxhunters in Ireland and then there was a arson attack on a hunting lodge that night, you can be damn sure that Simon Harris could join the dots. He really should resign.

🧵 Wisdom I have obtained after a whole decade of learning Irish (i mBéarla toisc go bhfuil sé ceadaithe uaireanta)

Bad enough the Gardaí gave free run to the far right for years. Bad enough arson against immigrant centres became standard practice for racists. Bad enough we've already had race riots. The Taoiseach & Táinaiste poured petrol on all the above during the week, & we shouldn't be shy in saying it.

Wed: “Our migration numbers are too high”-Simon Harris Thurs: “Taoiseach and Donohoe back Tánaiste’s remarks that numbers migrating to Ireland are ‘too high’” Fri: ”migration numbers too high outside of international protection…as well”-Simon Harris *Arson attack on infants in IPAS centre.*

In fact, I’ll save you the click.

“If this was, as Harris framed it, a referendum on Ireland’s proud history of better-things-aren’t-possible centrism, then surely he must accept that his conceptualisation of Ireland is actually… wrong.” This week’s column is about how FG and FF have responded to the election results.

One of the flag posters is called SEAN DOOLAN - anti immigrantion to England with a name like SEAN DOOLAN. Racism is fundamentally irrational, a hatred to gain leverage and power over others in your mind. Elevating yourself without having to do or achieve anything. Hatred based on your own stupidity

When I first joined I brought some of my bad Twitter behaviour over here - arguing with people in my mentions, quote posting awful people etc - but it’s amazing how the lack of algorithm that doesn’t promote or ‘reward’ (embarrassing but that’s what it boils down to) here cured me of that

The other candidates, however long they lasted, might be big into our culture in some respects but they certainly didn't lead with that in their campaigns. I think CC winning more votes than every other option combined shows that there's a hunger for national pride that is positive and progressive
