These are the deaths connected to the parade route that got the go ahead today. Telling residents that they need to build bridges feels particularly perverse

Dublin City Council, again, has banned poster to spare a US president's feelings. Even a version which made no direct reference to Trump and removed his image, and simply read: “No welcome for warmongers” was turned down.

Start of the No welcome for #Trump march in #Dublin - took about 30 minutes to pass a point which is at the larger end of Dublin protest marches despite the city council banning posters advertising it. Irish officialdom with some honorable exceptions is clearly worried about upsetting the bully

A sample of #Eurovelo 1 shortly after it leaves #Sligo town to head north towards Bundoran - it almost totally avoids the too busy National road while taking in the sights of the coast and Dartry mountains. As a bonus you experience the entire 2km Leitrim coast

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Irish Flotilla activist who chanted Free Palestine at Ben Gvir, Cat Graham, on Prime Time last night on Israel's abuse of the participants. Ben Gvir felt free to share the video them being assaulted because of the total impunity the apartheid state enjoys from Ireland and the international community

This is the 2nd time Sinn Fein have recently done weird populist appeals to anti-cyclist types about hospital bike sheds. Unless this is a 6 person shed that’s been gold plated there is nothing obviously amiss with the cost

Taking to the road next week to cycle #Eurovelo 1 from #Belfast to #Sligo. As well as the route shown providing the weather behaves a little I’m going to add loops of the Sperrins, Inishowen & Boa island (I want to see the ‘Janus’ statues if it’s glorious I might head to favourite wild camping spots
