There used be a Friday email detailing road works for the following week but it was replaced by a map that doesn't have the same detail (plus the link is incorrect). Prompted by seeing roadworks signs locally and wondering what was going on and were they related to the monster pile of rubble.
Ironic that the guys repainting the pedestrian crossing also block the path at the pedestrian crossing.

For their part Quimper will reopen (against the wishes of the guy who owns four Carrefour Express) previously pedestrianised streets in order to give the Quimperois the true feeling of Limerick. #Speirgorm www.limerickpost.ie/2026/08/03/c...

I was at the South Infirmary on Friday morning (all good) and the staff bike shelter was almost full. These things serve an important use but seem a very easy target for La-Z people and people who should know better.
IrishCycle.com@irishcycle.com · 2d agoBike parking enabling 60 hospital staff to cycle to work is a win for the taxpayer Comment & Analysis: A cost of €85,000, or €1,416 per space, for a secure bicycle shed for the National Maternity Hospital is cheap compared to building car parking, which is estimated to cost €5,000 to €85,000 per…
Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
A remake of "Whiskey Galore" is on iPlayer. Mildly funny but not a patch on the original, probably because it doesn't have the same cast of Scotsmen with dour mournful faces from birth. #Speirgorm
Lmao it's literally his birthday! What a gift.
Mojito Fiend@ronronzo.bsky.social · 2d agoApropos of nothing I hope Eamonn Dunphy is having a great day.
Slightly jarring to see someone who got much assistance when they claimed to be constantly targeted by the far-right now demanding written evidence before offering support to others.
As many of you know, we've given 1% of all the money you spend with us to @womensaidireland.bsky.social for over 8 years. A few years ago, we decided to increase this donation to 10% on Bank Holiday weekends. From midnight, it’s a Bank Holiday... Image made by a real life designer.
It's like how Red McFinmond - a complete unknown without any connections whatsoever - suddenly became a person to whose opinions we all had to be subjected. #Speirgorm
Should this not read "Car Driver and passenger" seeing as they call out the "Motorcyclist" ? #Speirgorm
I know people whonge about Bluesky repliers taking things too seriously but a single concerned reply to a post about taking medicine doesn't warrant a dramatic "I didn't think this need explaining" followed by loads of "omg, aren't people terrible" responses. (Hurler on the ditch here).
From the train we could see a small piece smouldering yesterday though it did seem reduced on the return leg.

NAFO accounts are a bit weird. Why not have a normal obsession like parking, late trains, no trains in Donegal, ghostbuses, size of crisp bags or the deposit return scheme ? #Speirgorm
I’ve spent the last year working on a project called “Islands of Accessibility”. It seeks to highlight the experience of non-drivers in a world not designed for them. I’ve started an archive space on instagram if you fancy following along there. www.instagram.com/islands_of_a... #speiregorm
Discussing Melilla border control here and reminded of the French immigration staff in Roscoff who always looked like they slept in their clothes in their wee booth. (Made the dishevelment of les flics in "Spiral" all the more believable). #Speirgorm
The Mall in Waterford is closed this weekend as part of Spraoi. It's a busy road. Waterford was hopping with people enjoying themselves and also visiting trading establishments. Why is Limerick different?
RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · 4d agoLimerick's Summer in the City initiative is facing criticism from some retailers, who say temporary road closures during August will damage trade. Mayor of Limerick John Moran says the initiative is about reimagining public spaces and encouraging people to spend more time in the city centre.
I think if the MacCurtain Street pubs are allowed to have outdoor seating (a good thing) then that space should come from a traffic lane. It's very tight walking along the street and must be very difficult for the elderly.
Departing Mallow. Per the revised schedule (which accounted for engineering works) we should be a minute away from Cork. #Speirgor.
A rare opportunity to experience wrong way working - we're travelling Down on the Up line due to engineering works. #Speirgorm
Anyways to balance out the sun in the Junction , the train from Limerick was late and thus the train back to Cork is now 15 mins late. #Speirgorm
