I visited Bethlehem in 2014 and bought this decoration, a decade later it will hold pride of place on the tree as our hearts go out to Palestinians.

Tough year for art sales and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.

Listening to @thomaspringle.bsky.social being interviewed by the excellent Greg Hughes on Highland. He's being very gracious. The transfers from Nikki Bradley FG expected to see Charlie McConalogue FF elected leaving the result as 2xSF, 2xFF and 1x 100%Redress

Can an alternative government deliver on housing, health and disability services? No one can say for definite. People have been let down so often.
We do, however, know that this government hasn't and never will deliver.
So you know what to do.

Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t.
If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.

We can change the destiny of this country; so that people can access healthcare, housing, and people with disabilities can access services, etc.
This can only be done by ending 100 years of FG & FF.
Tommorow I will be voting No.1 Andrew Mannion and No.2 Claire Kerrane.

Thanks very much to @lukemingflanagan.bsky.social for giving his endorsement for the Dáil.
We need to kick out FF&FG and take on the corporate interests they represent.
If elected again, I will continue to be a voice for the oppressed and hold those in power to account!✊

Delighted to endorse @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social in Louth.
James has shown over the years his commitment to ordinary people, Palestine, and challenging the far right.
He’d make a fantastic TD, but he needs your help.
Please give him your No.1 Vote this Friday.
Change is possible.

We need a left government that'll take transformative action.
We need to take on the interests of those who profit from the crises we face.
We need a left government that governs in the interest of ordinary people, not in the interests of the few profiting from people's misery!

Heading to Strasbourg to vote down Ursula von der Leyen,
commission designate.
Anyone who supports Von Der Leyen is supporting genocide in Palestine.
They're also supporting a commission hell bent on signing up to MERCOSUR.
Shame on Irish MEPs who support this.

@thomaspringle.bsky.social is an amazing representative, Donegal is lucky to have him.
(yes I'm biased)
Brought a wee tear to my eye when Thomas said very strongly:
"no immigrant, no asylum seeker, no poor Irish person has caused the problems that we have in this country. And to blame them and to set up your stall to blame those people is an absolute disgrace."
