This brilliant lady wrote this out in her back garden. She’s on the flight path for Air-force 1 into Shannon. I’m also on the flight path but unfortunately not for the 747’s. Ireland hates that fucking useless lying heap of shit. #speirgorm 🇮🇪

Irish leftie living in France. If you use Karen in the pejorative you are no better than the people you are trying to insult. A person's name or ethnicity is not an insult and using it as such just shows the world how verbally limited you are.
The real story behind 9/11: an uptight civil servant with big issues about young women, who would have been at home in 1950s Ireland. It's nearly always about sex, isn't it? Trust Fintan to be way ahead of the pack! #speirgorm
Protect women and children by banning members of Reform UK from entering Ireland and Schengen #spéirghorm
Looking at his BS theories that seem to be more projection than anything else, how Nathan Cofnas managed to get degrees just makes me wonder about quality assurance in the universities he has attended. Or maybe QA just doesn't apply to white men from privileged backgrounds. 🤔

A person, whether male or female, who shares a photo on social media of what's under a woman's skirt is not a person from whom you should be buying children's books. You can find said post on X, I saw it, unfortunately, and I'm not sharing it. #BoycottHarryPotter
If you exclude a group of women from your services, your founder and your chief source of revenue is someone who is extremely gender critical and now wants to sue a human rights organisation, it's not entirely inaccurate to call your organisation anti-rights.
Rowling is disingenuous at best when she says the Amnesty UK report is anti-women. Anti rights groups focused on in the report are against women's rights, too. They are anti-abortion, pro fixed gender rolls. #spéirghorm #boycottHarryPotter
How I spent my Monday - the @antaisce.bsky.social climate committee put climate back on the EU presidency agenda. You can't have 'competitiveness' 'security' and 'values' without a climate-just approach from top down. #spéirghorm

Salvador Ryan@salvadorryan.bsky.social · 2mo ago#Hivemind I’m writing a short piece on how, during COVID restrictions, individuals & communities in Ireland came up with various ways of honouring the dead at the time of a funeral. Lining the funeral route, socially distanced, is of course one example. Would love to hear more local examples…
Has anyone ever put beetroot in the freezer? If so, when it was defrosted, was it ok? The packets are too big, for me, I don't want to eat it for more than 2 days in a row, so sticking it in the freezer compartment is the only option

If there is one thing that could induce us to kill each other, it's the conflict-driven business model of the big social media companies. When will the government insist that a harmonious society is more important than their goddamn profits?
As the revelations pile up, the excuses get thinner and thinner. But this is always the story with the extreme right. It's a racket, a deception perpetrated against the public. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After I wrote last week's column, I learnt that a neighbour with severe disabilities, an extremely tough & resourceful woman who lived to the full, died in the heatwave. Everyone here is devastated. I can scarcely express my anger towards a mindset that treats people like her as collateral damage. 🧵

Interesting thing on the radio about this. McDonald’s have cut about 2/3rds of their staff since they introduced those screens you have to order on. How many jobs is that gone and lost to the economy? And they got this VAT cut and will benefit more than anyone #Spéirghorm
Dáiligh@dailigh.eurosky.social · 2mo agoFor the gazillionth time, VAT is a tax on the consumer not on business. It’s not supposed to be an incentive, a ridiculous windfall for large corporations like McDonald’s or keep bad businesses afloat. This was a fooking stupid thing the government did & everyone saw this coming. #speirgorn
So we paid KPMG €100k to write a report about the impact of data centers and they left out the increase in electricity costs? I refuse to believe that was an accident #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/government-d...
Government data centre report didn’t examine prospect of higher electricity bills
The Department of Enterprise report didn’t address rising electricity prices due to data centre demand.

It would be hilarious if this attention got the TUV & DUP thinking the Brits & Yanks were behind them for a physical border but they end up with a United Ireland, just like Brexit brought a sea border, simply because the rest of the world only pretends to care about unionism when it suits #speirgorm
