Just listened to the @irishtimes.com podcast between Hugh Linehan and Eoin Lenihan (no relation I presume). Hilarious, Eoin is such a sensitive soul, & sulked for the later half of the podcast ‘cause he didn’t like the line of questioning. Lordy these far righties are such man-cry-babies #speirgorm

Quite apart from the transphobic content of the reporting on the Sophia Brooks case, is the fact that most lead with the not-guilty verdict on harassment rather than the guilty verdict for a middle aged man angrily grabbing and smashing a teenager’s phone (all but Metro). Institutionally transphobic

Canvasser: I knocked on over a thousand doors and learned to turn fear into hope. Here's how.
In communities that have long been ignored by politics, it’s more important than ever to get out and talk to people, writes Niamh McDonald.

Among dozens of character references submitted to the court were those written by nurses, primary schoolteachers and members of religious congregations, and Crosbie’s fellow Dublin firefighters. For a rapist.

So much talk about spoiled votes, but virtually zero about the 900,000+ Irish citizens who voted for Connolly and the 15,000 volunteers who campaigned for her - nothing about what they want and represent and hope for.
No, Irish media and politics insist you engage with those who can't be bothered.

I'm reluctant to humour the "I don't feel represented by the choice on this ballot" line. Two of the six Áras elections that have happened in my lifetime have had unopposed incumbents, and it was merciful.
Frankly it's a shame that MDH wasn't unopposed in 2018. That whole election was a disaster.
