The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Went to 2 gigs in Iveagh Gardens Dublin this week. In advance, thought Elvis would be the better of the two. As it happens EC was pretty disappointing 😞 But Johnny Marr was sublime. A different class. #SpeirGorm Anyone else at either?

You wait all year for something to happen, then 3 things arrive together. The lovely Night and Day Festival (in the heartlands of Roscommon, check it out) coincided with Westmeath v Cavan and @arsenalfc.bsky.social in the Champions league final. Multitasking at its finest #SpeirGorm

Sublime hoisting. First Cllr Mannion does a pirouette that wouldn't look out of place on Strictly. This move reveals two well practiced hoisters already in position to take a leg each. The entire ensemble effect completed by the addition of a party leader and small child. A classic #SpeirGorm

This aged like a fine wine - hoist of all hoists was Sean Kyne's moment, where they hoisted not just himself, but also Simon Harris AND someone's kid as well

A wee committee. A huge crowd.Proud to be part #DarknessIntoLight in #Mullingar this morning. Walking in solidarity with those touched by suicide to support @pietahouse.bsky.social Long after the walkers are all tucked up back in bed, the wee committee are still at work. Lights out. All 2k of them

I just don't get this. The dubs broke hearts all over the country. No matter who they were playing the rest of the country defaulted to supporting their opposition. How can that switch into voting for their manager? #Áras2025 ##SpeirGorm

A former garda who impersonated a female colleague online and encouraged strangers to come to her house to rape her and her young daughters has been jailed for seven years.

That feeling when you go into a shop to buy a birthday card and come out with a book that has you so angry you're ready to lead a revolution. Hell yes.
