Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Here’s to everyone wishing you all this holiday season!
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
This night 26 years ago was the lowest point in my adult life. After six months in Sweden I had no job, no prospects and about three euro in my pocket. I didn't want to be here any more.
In truth, I didn't want to be anywhere any more.
I was a total failure.
A match made in heaven. Here is an animated film that I did for animation class in ATU Letterkenny. I did the animation, direction, sound effects, backgrounds, and provided the voice of the Lonely Matchstick. Enjoy…

France predominantly allocates fishing opportunities to its fleet based on past catch history, largely disregarding social & environmental criteria.
This is something also seen in Ireland with small scale vessels not recieving a fair share @iimro.bsky.social

Ok people, I am looking to crowdsource some social media platform knowledge.
Who, in Ireland or other EU country has seen an age verification demand, and on what platform.
Had the opportunity this evening to see a really super film about Paddy Conaghan, Arranmore, and his journey and motivation for taking a dip at every accessible beach around Ireland. #WildSwimming #MentalHeath #Ireland #NotAllHeroesWearCapes manofarran.com
It was great to meet Laura Fayet fisherwoman from Lake Geneva in Switzerland # who called to #Arranmore to see #Muireann and #Neily today to hear about their advocacy work and tell us about very similar issues around fishing in their country

Happy Summer Solstice everybody!!!
#summersolstice
As cod & ling, that used to populate British waters, migrate north to cooler waters, a large - and normally rare - type of octopus is being caught by fishermen in Devon and Cornwall in enormous numbers. Even tuna & shark.
So what's going on?
Climate change & overfishing
