The flag that saved six Fenians from a ‘living tomb’ to go on display for the first time

Presence of an American flag 150 years ago made the Catalpa one of the most celebrated prison breaks in history

Pourquoi l'Irlande ferait une proie de choix dans la guerre hybride menée par la Russie

Faible militairement, non membre de l'OTAN mais stratégique pour les communications en Europe, l'Irlande semble le maillon faible de l'UE face aux tentatives de déstabilisation orchestrées par Moscou. Alors que Dublin s'apprête à occuper la présidence de l'UE, la classe politique irlandaise sonne le rappel des troupes.

Anyone who buys clothes from Tesco, M&S, Dunnes or Penneys/Primark (Dunnes in particular) should watch @rte.ie Primetime's meticulously researched expose of forced labour in cotton production in China and how it gets into Irish and UK shops. You'll find it on RTE player.

Delighted to see this new publication released today. I know what a labour of love and care this was for my Donegal friend and historian @angela-historian.bsky.social . Congratulations!!

It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Wonderful piece by colleagues in @historytcd.bsky.social and @tcdpsychology.bsky.social

Clare Kelly@clarekelly.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Academics are under unrelenting pressure to accept the narrative of the inevitability of #generativeAI & to embrace it in teaching & learning. We resist - because it is ecologically destructive, ethically corrupt, & because it undermines the thinking abilities that make us both human & intelligent.

great piece by colleagues @kbruisch.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social @historytcd.bsky.social on GenAi and high Ed. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
