The way England are playing, Ireland could come away with a win, a bonus point and the six counties back. #EngvIta

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Imagine building a hotel beside a late night bar that has been there for YEARS before you and not putting in some form of sound proofing in the rooms and INSTEAD taking legal action on the bar. FUCK OFF.

The Dept website has just yesterday evening changed the status of the massive arramara application from 'applied' to 'withdrawn' this is good news but both Arramara and Bioatlantis still have applications in for seaweed rights in mayo, galway, and kerry

We Didn’t Start the Fire (But it’s all the ways the EU has ruined environmental protection in the last three years) with @greenpeace.eu #ad

There are currently two corporations with applications to strip the west coast of seaweed. There will be a tiny window to put in a submission to these applications but it'd be good to build momentum now and get these applications being talked about locally. Please sign and share.

Forget doors, this should set alarm bells ringing

"the magic wand is a rhetorical tool whose purpose is to make it seem unreasonable for anyone anywhere at any time to suggest that we raise our standards for anything." 🎯 #IrishPol

It’s not just keepie uppies President Connolly is skilled at apparently. 📍 Queens University where she joined the PeacePlayers basketball team on the court.

Honestly, Catherine O’Hara is nothing short of iconic. Such sad news today

RIP Catherine O'Hara, who managed to steal every scene she was in

The Biddy Banker's here 🥳 blue skies, grand stretch, long weekend!

This is a really incredible piece of work. Worth the read, it is written by county so you can see what the issues are and what is being done. Great reporting @shaunacorr.bsky.social and company

A lot of folk still don’t know that Aramark own (super fancy) Avoca, as well as providing food services for Direct Provision Centres. Very easy not to go to Avoca, I reckon. Public opinion got them out of NGI, after all.

This massive Canadian agtech company has put in an application to harvest seaweed from basically the entire west coast. The maps are actually shocking www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Met Eireann aren't the ones underfunding flood defences, or pushing for planning deregulation so more homes will be built on flood plains.

Second day of no water in our area. No updated info on @uisce-eireann.bsky.social site when we can expect supply reconnect. No plans announced to bring tanker to area so we can fill containers for households. In 2025 we woke up to no supply < 7 times over weekends with no warnings. #IrishWater

Come on, #Ireland. A million signatures are needed. Share with your people, too. #SpéirGhorm

Dublin's new housing policy is "I thought I told you to FUCK OFF."

In Tipperary! The most vivid colours dancing across the sky. What an absolute treat.

"Europeans don't get to have an opinion on US politics." I'm 3000 miles away from the US border, but I'm rarely more than 40 miles from US military personnel in a country that's supposed to be neutral. I'll keep my opinions to myself when you guys keep your hands to yourself.

If you live in Ireland and truly care about nature and our environment, please make a submission objecting to the government's plans to *severely* restrict communities' ability to defend them in the courts. Instructions below, it only takes minutes, and the deadline is the day after tomorrow!! 🙏

Government priorities for Ireland Data Centres Wild Atlantic Way

If the line isn't "I'm not willing to share the pitch on a site that is not just hosting, not just creating but also now monetising non-consensual images of women and girls" - then there is no line.

"The world's most prolific child sexual abuse material and sexual harassment factory is now on Fenian Street in Dublin. We don't need a dawn raid, or an Interpol investigation to reveal that address. We can just look it up in the Irish Companies Registration Office." www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

"the people who are put in office & paid so very handsomely to keep this society healthy & safe, are shamelessly running scared. Their cowardice is palpable in every failure to meaningfully condemn things which are absolutely wrong." #SpéirGhorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/surre...

Please, don't get fatigued from these appeals for help. They're real people, suffering because our governments are spineless genocide enablers, and they need our help: chuffed.org/project/155233

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to this legend who leaned out of his van when he saw the Land Rover in Dublin yesterday 💚🤍🧡

Hammam's accounts keep getting deleted, he's trying to raise €50 to buy a tent, please help if you can: chuffed.org/project/1580...

Everything about this story reveals the utter contempt of DCC for people and history. We'll be lucky if they don't turn it in a hotel or data centre.

He really did do a hell of a lot. The amount of work that went into them, purely to calm his own mind by getting deep into the zone of creativity, boggles my mind. This is one of my favourites.

This is perfect stuff

A few things to note about Arena next week: Monday it's our inaugural Arena Arts quiz! Two teams of Arena contributors take each other in for the title of champions... Tuesday we have a panel looking back at their favourite film, books, TV, and music of 2025. 7pm on @rteradio1.bsky.social.

This is why I voted for Catherine Connolly as our president.

Mile Cross festive cheer.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

I'm sickened that the government voted CETA through at 1am last night. It's an anti-people, pro-corporation deal that allows Canadian investment companies to sue us, the Irish people. So a Canadian company can buy up housing & sue the Irish state if we introduce rent controls. #Speirgorm #Speirgorm

I am available to debate Minister Patrick O'Donovan directly on his plan for internet regulation, if he would like to defend it.

The government presents its demand for a new nitrates derogation (pollution permit) in Brussels as a demand of the Irish public. This counterpoint argues that it is actually being demanded by a subsection of the agriculture industry, and is in conflict with a genuine public interest: clean water

Dept of Foreign Affairs, thirst trapped: OK, Norway. So that’s how we’re doing small country diplomacy, is it? Well two can play at that game. Hisses: *Get me a shirtless Simon Harris. We’re doing Chicken Fillet Rolls*

My head nearly fell off. The actual Minister for Health said this? m.independent.ie/irish-news/t...

The lengths the British government will go to please the Israeli government. www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

‘The Burkes are shouting’ is a colloquial phrase that came into common usage in Ireland in the 2020s and means, ‘everything is proceeding as normal’.

Ireland should be doing this too. There isn’t an alarm bell big enough to wake this government up. We should be in crisis mode, but instead it’s still shaking-developers’-hands-at-the-race-course, business as usual.

John Collison was talking utter garbage and it says so much that so many politicians fell over themselves to fellate him for writing a pack of lies

Eventually, long after it is needed and that need is clear to everyone, Ireland will switch to competing with other EU countries to attract migrants to choose it as a destination. By then, whole generations of then-forgotten politicians will have made careers of poisoning the well of our reputation

Bundee and the presidents. The love continues 💕 #IREvsRSA

Would help if I tagged her wouldn't it @enaghfarrellart.bsky.social

This beautiful collection of Irish tree cards arrived today & now my dilemma is to post them or frame for myself. Thanks Enagh they are fabulous 🌲 enaghfarrell.com/shop-prints-...
