"It's so painful what we see in Gaza. It hurts me all over my body. And let me be clear, it's not about ideology. It's not about I'm right or I'm wrong. Come on. It's just about the love of life, the care of your neighbour" - Pep Guardiola

This week I wrote about vigilance, and how I'm less interested in litigating whether Garron Noone is a racist, than in whether what he said was true or not. It wasn't. And people are right to be alarmed that he said it, and to wonder why he did. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

After an election of missed opportunity and the news that charities can no longer feed people on Dublin's streets, I wrote about #GE24, soup, Kneecap and how we must bring together a divided republic if we are to have any chance of a united Ireland. ourmaninstockholm.substack.com/p/to-unite-i...

All set for the #latelatetoyshow with mini Patrick Kielty 😆 @latelateshow.rte.ie

Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t. If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.
