Democrats break out into applause after the War Powers Act passes

It's very lovely to see all the irises in bloom around Dublin 8 at the moment. These hand-coloured beauties are from a mid-16th century herbal or Kreutterbuch.

Some of the roses in our garden

Just catching up on the Alex Coughlan murder in Dublin And I thought I couldn't hear of anything more shocking, appalling and disgusting but no. A decent man mugged, attacked, beaten to death in a suburban street at 4pm on a May Sunday afternoon & all of it filmed & posted on Snapchat & Twitter.

Funeral arrangements to be announced for Dublin assault victim as family say he was "horrifically taken" Alex Coughlan (37), from Blanchardstown in Dublin 15, died on Wednesday, three days after he suffered serious injuries in an attack near his home on Mill Road in Blanchardstown

Thank you to all who've donated Over 6 thousand raised for Hospice care in Ireland in memory of my father #speirgorm #Ireland #Hospice www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/n...

Dancing round my kitchen to some kylie minogue whilst doing the dishes from dinner after watching Kylie on #Netflix Giving me such a big smile 😀 Good memories from my youth ❤️ #kylie #kylieminogue #80s #90s #00s #Australia #Neighbours

Another things - if I was private security and involved in restraining someone and they died, I would fully expect to be arrested and questioned immediately. Has anyone been arrested in relation to the death of Yves Sakila? If not, why not?

You might also want to consider this - I also worked in security in the ILAC Centre in the early 90s so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the environment: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Attention Irish journalists and editors: If you feel you can report on the "alleged shoplifting", but not the alleged knee on the victim's neck (unlike the alleged shoplifting, it's in the video of the incident), you need to ask why you made that editorial decision.

“On a strictly confidential basis” a senior civil servant sent a confidential draft document to a lobbyist at the billionaire Collison brothers-funded Progress Ireland – whose board includes the civil servant’s former boss at his department. www.ontheditch.com/on-a-strictl...

Murray: EU fails to defend citizens

Is this man not on Bluesky?? #SpeirGorm #SpeirGhorm

Boycott the Eurovision Song Contest #eurovision #esc #boycotteurovision

Trans people are facing a decades-long, escalating, international effort to drive them out of society supported by some of the richest, most powerful people AND governments in the world and you are right that a few of them being snippy with you on social media is, essentially, the same thing.

So THAT'S what happened #Spéirghorm

I know there’s a lot going on in the world, and we don’t have enough attention to pay to any of it. But the throttling of Cuba by the US should be a bigger story than it is. There are about 10 million people in Cuba, subjected to horrendous collective punishment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

During Repeal canvassing, I personally found the 3 day wait time etc didn’t come up as being a reason people voted yes. It was a vote for autonomy, genuinely. The demographic this is supposed to appeal to wouldn’t ever vote for abortion provision no matter way “safeguards” are put in

We fight on. Because the women of Ireland deserve better.  Tonight, Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael chose not to support women, not to trust women, not to show compassion to those so cruelly forced to travel abroad for care.

I've never been a member of any political party. I joined the @social-democrats.bsky.social tonight. I'm wondering why I didn't do it sooner. #Speirgorm

Resharing this - only a tiny amount away from the target for hospice care, in memory of Patrick. #Speirgorm #Spéirghorm

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Gavan, I have to also say with respect, Ivan Yates is long past his sell by date. Can your show not find more recent former TDs / Ministers??

this is also potentially huge news for the sport of hurling in Ireland - where ash dieback made it increasingly difficult for hurl makers to source native ash

We need to make this standard in every country. Mis- and disinformation are effectively anti-education, and kids need to be thoroughly prepared for it.

Kilmore Quay #Wexford Great day for a market #Speirgorm #Ireland

Tomorrow #kilmore quay #wexford #Ireland come to the #market and buy some #plants Grown locally Tended with care #Speirgorm #garden #bloom

Only just realised the eurovision is on next week. How peaceful it's been without it. We should boycott more often. Anyway, wishing all the participants no luck at anytime ever.

So let me get this straight, Iran that lives next door can’t control the Strait but the USA which is thousands of miles away can? 🤣

Literally describing America

Didn't USA illegally invade Venezuela and steal its oil?

Thinking a lot today about Bobby Sands and the ultimate sacrifice he and others made, and looking at what Simn Féin have become over the last two years or so in the south. I sincerely doubt he or they would have stood for it.

Kilmore Quay this Sunday #wexford #Ireland #Speirgorm

4 Irish nationals have been detained by Israeli pirates after the Global Sumud Flotilla was intercepted by the IDF in international waters near Greece, some 1,000km from Gaza. The President of Ireland's sister, Margaret Connolly, is not one of them. #SpeirGorm #Ireland

Oh look, being in the EU might have some benefits after all! I mean honestly, who knew? 🙃
