Happy Irish Census of 1926 Release Day to all who celebrate.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

In Donegal, Mayo, Galway, and Kerry corporations have applications in to harvest seaweed from the coast with absolutely no oversight.
Corporatisation of seaweed harvest would be a significant negative step for the west

Wanted #Speirgorm Looking for a house to rent in Ennis or surrounds for my family & I. I'm working for Clare County Council and have excellent rental references available. If you hear of anything available in the coming weeks or months please let me know. Shares very appreciated! ☺️

The issue remains though. There should be no corporations given seaweed harvesting rights in Ireland my.uplift.ie/petitions/st...

"The act of being involved in politics at all, the act of casting a vote, is an act of hope."

Holly Cairns closing the National Conference this evening with a vision for a fair and equitable Ireland.

FF TD detected at 190km/h convicted of dangerous driving Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill has been convicted of dangerous driving after a court heard he was driving at over 190km/h on a motorway last March.

Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill claimed he was driving at 190km/h because he was eager to facilitate a meeting with the parents of children with profound disabilities.

Last week he voted against providing disabled people with an emergency winter payment of €400.

#spéirgorm 1/3

Government just voted against a €400 emergency payment to disabled people who are €1400 worse off since the budget.
This isn't the end. We keep fighting.
Next step- Local papers. Put a local face on this national failure.
Tomorrow I'll post a guide and we can do it together. Please join #spéirgorm

Section 5(1)(f) of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998 (as amended) makes it a criminal offence to knowingly facilitate the production or distribution of sexualised images of children. The problem here isn't the law - it's the political willingnesss to enforce it against X.

This is the first time in history that a County Clare hotelier has kidnapped the leader of another country

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Meet the Pro-Israel Lawyers Hounding the NHS | Novara Media It’s had children’s artwork removed from hospitals, doctors banned from wearing watermelon pins and claimed craft pens evoked 7 October. Are UK Lawyers for Israel really the cartoon villains they appe...

I was a bit mystified as to why various Israel cranks were so heavily committed to badgering the NHS and the answer appears to be “We have to preemptively throw shit and smears at anything that has public trust and support, in case they e.g. start talking about children the IDF shoots at some point”

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

We have learned nothing.

Vast cost overruns are not due to good design. They are due to no design.

Also, why is our political system so aggressively mediocre?

Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

Reminder that there are actual armed & active, white 'homegrown' loyalist proscribed terror groups w/ 12,500 members freely operating in N. Ireland. They are so embedded by UK Gov that they receive state funding, high level Government access and effective immunity from investigation & prosecution.

To the vatniks, campists, fascists and self-described "pragmatists" saying "maybe Trump has got a point":
There is one nation and one nation alone that should decide the terms for peace in Ukraine.
Ukraine.

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.

There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed
