I watched #ZeroDay. It was OK, not great imo. Unfortunately, current events have neutered any political thriller that features a hidden cabal attempting to take control from the shadows. Everything is done in the open now, the big light is well & truly on. (De Niro deserved a meatier 1st TV role)

Glad we closed it down to get the Triple Crown, but also delighted to see Wales actually play & never give up. They became smothered under Gats the same way we were under Joe. The competition is better for it. #WALvIRE

The price of freedom. Be extorted or be invaded.

"However, some 8,622 of those in attendance were owners and trainers, while 216 of them were bookmakers. The track recorded just two old age pensioners as paying attendees for the entirety of 2024." www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

An accent I would never have imagined hearing - beautiful west of Ireland Irish that's also discernibly Ukrainian. Uplifting and heart-breaking in equal measure.

Of course they are 😔 The mobile spectrum, shell to sea, the housing sector, the buses, there isn't a stone in the country that FFG haven't tried to gift to the private market. This one is particularly bad because it was overseen by a Green Party TD, who should have known better. #IrishPol

Yes, absolutely right. On a political level, very good boxing in by SF, saying MM should go & reflect the views of the people & reject Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza. If he doesn't, he either can't represent the people, or doesn't think Trump is wrong, or is a coward. #IrishPol

So Trump has allied with Putin, thrown Ukraine under the bus, wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza, is systematically dismantling the US constitutional republic & concentrating power, applies tariffs to neighbours, calls himself a king, & MM & gov still think it's a good idea to go to the WH? #IrishPol

‘The attorney general told government that replacing the Occupied Territories Bill rather than amending it would be a "political choice" and not a legally necessary one.’ I agree. The Ditch on the ball again. www.ontheditch.com/attorney-gen...

I sit in my dwelling. A shed in someone's back garden. Alone. No room to host friends. The pubs closed at 4pm. The lights go. The electricity is needed for data centres.

Cén bréag thú fhéin anyways? #gaeilge

I'll see his 1934 Dinneen & raise him 1927 Dinneen. "A lie" is listed before falsehood for bréag, bréige, & bréaga. #IrishPol #gaeilge

An important video if you are worried about Ireland's #climate policies. When it comes to Economy Vs Climate, MM is choosing to prioritise economy (& AI 🙄). Talking about damaging prospects for the future while blasting through climate targets & endangering said future is #climatedenial #IrishPol

Crying laughing at this. France is just 👌

'Gutless politicians kick about ideas like painting over murals, while working class people on both sides of the green and orange line cry out for investment in social housing, education, youth services and mental health services.'

The gov wants a knowledge economy but doesn't fund or support 3rd level staff, students, & researchers enough. The joke that #highered is a system to convince overachievers that they are underachieving is true. It shouldn't have to be a vocation. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ... #speirgorm

Good piece in the Guardian on Europe's population crisis with & without migration. Ireland is one of the few countries projected for some population growth without migration, but tax burdens still rise, and 40% of the HSE would be gone without it. #Speirgorm www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Someone ask that young lad in the @rteupfront.bsky.social audience who commends Trump's bravery & says Trump wants peace not war, if in his view, ethnic cleansing is a "brave" option in pursuing peace. #RTÉUpFront

"...targeting a minority for political points" "Transgender people are entitled to safety like everyone else." "By allowing this hatred to go unchecked, we open the door for more and more groups to be targeted, until they finally target you or your loved ones" Beir Bua @jennymaguire.bsky.social 👏
