Repost with the first album you bought with your own money. Fadó fadó, I was very young but I loved him so much.

This crap is what happens when you are beholden to a bunch of grifters whose relationship with integrity & truth is tenuous at best.

They'll get the money too because they are holding the hospital hostage. And when all that money is spent and it eventually opens the hospital will still be in the wrong place.

If you were 4 years old when the decision was made on where to locate the National Children's Hospital, you're too old to ever use it. If you were 8 years old when construction commenced, you're too old to ever use it.

Starlings gathering at Lough Ennell in Westmeath this evening.

having a pet is so fucking stupid. you're just pre-purchasing yourself the worst pain you'll ever feel in your life and we just keep doing it, like idiots, because the only thing worse than losing them is never having them at all

If we have crossed the threshold, it's still worth signing & sharing this petition - as well as exceedinging a quota in 7 countries, there needs to be a total of 1 million signatures from all countries combined - your signature counts towards this total.

Ireland joining France and Finland - but it requires 7 countries. Next in line are: Spain 70% Belgium 54% Netherlands 48% Slovenia 48% Denmark 34% Germany 34% Sweden 34% Very many people don't know about this. So if you are in any of these countries, or know people with reach who are, get on it.

Well done lads and lasses! 👏👏👏

I asked all of the FF/FG canvassers or politicians I met before the election what policies they would enact to reduce the price of residential property. None of them understood the question, it was a concept beyond their understanding.

This is wonderful, really hope it spreads. But. When I've been in any Irish hospital, or in a government/council office, I tell them my name and pretty much without fail they'll say something like: "Just take a seat over there Kathleen".

Me: getting up really late. Her: bit too early for me.

On Friday, a quick thinking security guard flagged down our Tallaght Ambulance to a Cardiac Arrest that had just occurred. Our crew contacted our control room for further assistance.

If @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was smart "EUAID" would fill the gap left by USAID. Not just for supply, but demand. EU farmers supplying.
