Last night's Pride Remembrance Service brought people together to reflect, remember & hope. Rev Eoghan Healy's reflection reminded us of the importance of remembering, & of being a place of welcome and light for all. ⠀ Happy Pride, Cork! @corkcommunitypride.bsky.social ⠀ #CorkPride #StAnnesShandon
August at St Anne's: five Sundays and a week of heritage events.
Last night on Primetime, I discussed water quality in Ireland, and how ultimately, there is no central political responsibility for it.
Green Party / Comhaontas Glas@greenparty.ie · 5d agoLast night @rodericogorman.bsky.social was on Primetime about the deterioration in our water quality. We need access to clean water, not just for our health, but also because water is such a huge part of our economy, our biodiversity and increasingly our wellness and leisure. #speirgorm

On Sunday, we marked our Patronal Festival and gave thanks for the work done to our Church, Tower and Bell supports. We started outside to give thanks for the restored doors and then processed in to the hymn “Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates”.

My Trans Pride interview included a reference to Cass that UK reports left out, but interestingly the Murdoch owned NT News Australia did broadcast these words. ‘If you continue adhering to the Cass report, which has been widely discredited, you are complicit in the deaths of these young people’.

‘Raw Milk’ has never been a thing in Ireland! Ireland led the way tight regulation of Dairies! It was one of the first things that the Independent Irish state did.

Deputy O'Connor is the TD bringing a bill to remove the prohibition on nuclear. Regardless of what you think of nuclear or solar it looks a lot like he just wants to find a way to say NO to solar, and so is pretending nuclear is an alternaitve. www.independent.ie/farming/it-c...

I am confused. I thought when Josh Simons quit as an MP to call an unnecessary by-election it was a huge waste of taxpayer funds and an insult to voters?

🧵 Amid all the speculation about Nigel Farage's 2pm statement, it's worth noting paragraph 40 of the Procedural Protocol to the MPs' Code of Conduct. If he announces he's resigning and seeking a by-election, that would not automatically end the investigation into whether he breached the Code in...

Can someone, anyone, show me the evidence that Ireland has been overly cautious in implementing EU law, that we take an overly precautionary approach? Enough with the gaslighting.
