Dublin Cityscape Irish law society, formerly King Charles hospital, originally Blue Coat school. Taken from Rory O'More bridge, formally Victoria and Albert Bridge, Barrack Bridge and originally Bloody bridge. So much history in Dublin #speirgorm #photography #urban #cityscape #irishtwitter

#BMW parking. 😱😭 Yep, there was plenty of room behind it to fit. And plenty of spaces in the carpark too. #speirgorm

We’re hiring two reporters. If you’re interested, please apply by Wednesday 19 February. dublininquirer.com/2...

An ad-hoc trip to Wexford today. Took a bit of time to myself before the journey home, went to visit St Helens bay. Too many vertical rocks submerged, so didn't go for the swim. Another time... Beautiful quiet beach in the setting sun off my rear right shoulder #speirgorm #Ireland #photography

Every once in a while (usually prompted by some patriotic happening, e.g. Lá Fhéile Bride) I take 10mins out to listen to the masterpiece, "My Ireland" by Stephen James Smith. If you've never heard it, treat yourself. A perfect capture of our beautiful, troubled island. youtu.be/tqEZBOzC3e4?...

If anyone has a spare 30/40 mins and would like to take part in research about friendships... please contact my psychology student at DCU Camila at [email protected] Much appreciated!

I need a new fiancée, this one is determined to kill me.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

Lads. Is there any chance we could try and keep #SpéirGhorm Irish related? Even if it's a tenuous connection. If I want commentary on the latest U.S. internal shitshow there's ample feeds for that - can we not have this one wee corner of the Internet that's not UScentric?

Shares appreciated .

Tough day out of the office. Running in prep for an upcoming bucket list run... 33km 3hr 30m Happy out But sore.

Pilgrimage mountain Croagh Patrick in Clew Bay County Mayo. I've only been 1/3rd the way up. Maybe this year to summit in the sunshine. But, definitely a bucket list to do this barefoot. #speirgorm #photography #Ireland #photography

Supposed to be up and out on a 10k/1hr jog this morning. A bit windy. Maybe not today then. Always tomorrow

Factory mornings. #speirgorm #Photography #Sunrise #Dawn

Hello there... Phoenix Park, Dublin. #speirgorm #Dublin #Ireland #photography

Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Apple and Uber: each donated $1.000.000 to Trump inauguration. Taylor Swift: donated $10.000.000 to #LAFires recovery fund. Interesting.

One of the scariest pieces of reporting I've read Thank you for sharing.
