"The idea for this cover was an ode to the post workers, couriers and delivery drivers who just (literally) carried the Christmas season on their backs," writes @selkies.bsky.social, about the image she made for the cover of our most recent print edition. www.dublininquirer.com/cover-image-...

A North Strand bombing memorial should include names of those who died, a councillor says. It’s timely, says Alison Field of Labour, with the 85th anniversary of the devastation approaching, and the world as it is.

Thrilled to meet with Irish Deputy PM @simonharrisireland.bsky.social and discuss how California can keep growing our partnership and economic relationship with the Emerald Isle.

Despite the chaos spewing out of Washington, California will always be a reliable international partner.

Could an alternative to methadone give people in recovery more control over their present – and future? Nicknamed “liquid handcuffs”, methadone can require daily doses at a pharmacy or clinic, making education, employment, or even a holiday hard to grasp.

In Dublin 15, councillors say they’re inundated with complaints about slippery leaves on footpaths. “It's no exaggeration. I've had at least 20 different people coming to me with this issue,” Councillor Angela Donnelly said.

A councillor has renewed calls for a community toilet scheme in Dublin city centre. Council officials say they’ve already tried and it flopped. So how have towns elsewhere managed to set them up?

Remembering our sister Jennifer Barrett on “World Day of remembrance for road traffic victims”. The car accident happened 49 years ago and we still mourn her loss. We also lost her unborn child that day. PLEASE take care on the roads and always be alert to the unexpected. #speirgorm
