An 21ú Aibreán an dáta a mbíodh mo Dhaid ag súil leis an gcuach a chloisteáil den chéad uair. An bhfuil sí cloiste ag duine ar bith go fóill agaibh in Éirinn?

These choices flatten the similarities between all institutions: the hospitals/County Homes also housed single mothers and their children. These categories create narratives - that's what worries me.

Hospitals must contain more people than Magdalene laundries...

Please tell me the institutions list in #1926Census doesn't omit hospitals, barracks, almshouses, homes for the blind etc? I can't believe my eyes - are only 4 types of institution considered important?

Borderline unhinged tbh

Forms impose their own logic on messy people's lives #1926Census

My great-grandmother wrote 'Out of Work' for her adult daughter (aged 17) but census enumerator changed it to 'Home Duties'. Women can't be unemployed!

I think this is my favourite so far. Alice Knox in Blackrock, Co. Dublin who is very glad to be single. #1926census

100% agree. When the gf section shrinks, bad times are here

Supermarket own brands eliminating their gluten free chicken nuggets and fish finger ranges.

Drove all along Sheepshead Peninsula and much of Beara last week.
The hills are dead.
Eaten to barrenness to feed the export market.

It's been going for years! Weirdest censorship ever.

The newly released census of Ireland for 1926 shows “General trained and maternity nurse” Caroline Cassidy as a ‘visitor’ in my grandparents’ house. Now I know the name of the woman looking after my newborn mother in this photo. She’s the baby on her sister’s lap. #SpeirGorm #census #familyhistory

Chocolate is the reason I am a kdrama addict

I could write a piece for Sunday Miscellany on the resonance on that theme tune

This needs to be discussed on Brendan! Awful decision

Why does Sunday Miscellany have a new theme tune? I'm bereft #SpéirGhorm

Mind the Gap Ireland is the second richest country in Europe, and this week a single protest shut it down. Here's why.

An outstanding read from Sinéad O’Sullivan that has been occupying my mind all week. As someone who travels a lot, I’m struck by how undeveloped Ireland is but tell myself its grand…but is not. Not when you see it presented like this. It’s shit. #speirgorm www.butthistime.com/p/mind-the-gap

An Post have failed in the past to deliver to my address when written in Irish...

Can This Love be Translated and Undercover Miss Hong were meaty and interesting. Idol I was ok, Pro Bono was fun.

Love this man so much. Give him more big roles like in 'Chocolate'.

😂

This one on the Healy-Raes is, I think, going to stick.

i just think it’s really sad that we just accept greenwich mean time and never think about greenwich kind time

Some pro-government Independent TDs still mulling over confidence vote decision Sinn Féin will table a motion of no confidence in the government tomorrow.

As political theatre goes an election caused by this would be fascinating to watch as I think most parties would find themselves "idir dhá thine Bhealtaine" as the breaklines of the various issues that the blockades surfaced meander across the voter coalitions of all the main parties. #speirgorm

And this is why I use Insta only for kdrama reels and travel tips. And why I left FB altogether
