Saw emmet kirwans repeated run of his 2022 play accents this week, what a production. Big fan of his anyway but would really state it’s a must see for anyone 35yrs or younger affected by the housing crisis. Just brilliant artistry at his best

The new govt wants more one-off rural housing. The (almost identical) old govt was warned by an expert group not to go down this route. It's 'inherently unsustainable' they said. Thnx to Brendan O'Sullivan of @ucc.ie & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social for input m.independent.ie/irish-news/g...

On my way into work this morning and convinced of a niche business idea. My throat is killing me and would love to buy like a nicely made lemsip with honey included like a takeaway coffee. Just Sunday dart thoughts. Could make a killing this time of year with all the sore throats and doses around

This is a sickening disgrace. The Irish government is responsible for multiple children being harmed everyday. Not a single child should be allowed to abused in this way - and yet it is a systemic issue now, built into how the system works.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Sevenans et al. in EJPR: "our study shows that – whenever there is a significant preference gap between lower- and higher-income groups – politicians’ perceptions of what citizens want are skewed towards the preferences of higher-income voters on socio-economic issues." doi.org/10.1111/1475...

If you haven't written to your local Sinn Féin representative about their disgraceful Anti-LGBT vote to go along with the British governments blanket ban on puberty blockers in Stormont yet, today is a good day to do that. #Spéirgorm #Speirgorm #Ireland #IrishPolitics #LGBT #TransRights

There are 1,000s of empty apartments with investors biding their time while 15,000+ people are homeless. They’ve developed housing policy for the financialisation of Irish property. Unforgivable what they’ve done to this & next generations 🥲😡 www.ohchr.org/en/special-p... #GE24
