A picture says a 1000 words.
The irony of this image

Fianna Fáil - the party in the advert - have utterly failed to act on the Climate Emergency and are now risking €8bn in annual fines for taxpayers until we're compliant with our GHG emission cuts

Decades of inaction

Last Thursday we screened the new short film I made for Askeaton Contemporary Arts, ‘Pass me for I am Strange’, about the weird and unusual history embedded in the Franciscan friary there. Such a pleasure! Watch here: @ACA_Askeaton @artscouncil_ie

The #RoseofTralee is a good example of the Irish compulsion to turn EVERYTHING (in this case, femininity, Irishness, loveliness) into a competition.

Best TV show I’ve seen in years, atypical story arc, great character banter, funny, prescient. Do yourself a favour….
