Brave brave woman. So thrilled for her that she has been vindicated. Fuck Conor McGregor forever
So who's at this shindig at Dublin Castle tonight then? Anyone really famous like? Would they invite celebrities to that or just politicians? Miggeldy's one was so long ago I've forgotten. Surely we can rustle up a few A listers? #aras25 #speirgorm

That Army No 1 Band put the heart crossways in me when President Connolly was being signed in, I'll tell you that for nothing! Was an almighty trumpet out of the blue really necessary? #speirgorm

Lads I can't watch the coverage of Michael D leaving, I just can't! I've half seen snippets on social media of him and his dogs and his last speech etc and I just turn it off, I can't, my heart is broken!! I just love him so much #speirgorm

I washed and blow dried my hair today, shaved my legs, put make up on, a proper face of it, dug out my colourdey tights and cute denim dress, just on a whim just knocking about my house. And lads I'm wrecked! It took HOURS! THEN I put on Selling Sunset and they are like models, HOW do they do it?!

If you're a campaigning organisation, you'd be lucky to have Linda on board with you. Cliche, but truly she's a powerhouse. If you've a job going, give her a shout. (Dreadful news that SWAI has to close due to lack of funding, it's such a vital resource.)
Heartbroken to share this news but, due to lack of funding, my position in SWAI has finished.

I'm absolutely slaying in this hilarious collage I made though.
We are sad to say goodbye to our Communications and Advocacy manager, Linda Kavanagh, who has been with SWAI for 7 years.

Wait wait wait!! I just heard it pronounced 'An-tee-fah' to rhyme with Queen Latifah, instead of Anti-fa to rhyme with, well, anti fascist? Oh the elders in ANTIFA who definitely exist as an organised hierarchical group will have to put out a memo from their HQ that is definitely a real building.

Just did this survey it took ten seconds and is really important for fairness and inclusivity in schools. Our school is amazing, I do not want to send him elsewhere but I WOULD prefer if it was not Catholic. I don't want to change the school itself, just take religion out and leave it to parents.
The survey is open, #speirgorm do your thing! More than 83% of primary schools are of Catholic patronage, which is definitely not the case for the Ireland of today www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

You've watched All's Fair, Kim K's new legal 'drama' featuring inexplicably Glenn Close? Oh lads. It's so bad. And I love a cheesy glitzy courtroom Selling Sunset type procedural. But this. I cannot. I just ... no. It's bad and absolutely not 'so bad it's good'. Just plain bad.

I'm an oul wan, I know but this clocks going back business is a load of my bollocks. Fucking quarter to five and I've every light in the house on. This is no life. Fucking load of my bollox. Six more months of this, seriously, I can't. #Speirgorm

Am wearing a Halloween dress (black dress covered in Halloween print, cobwebs and bones etc) and almost every single little girl trick or treater has said 'Ohmigod I love your dress' and just the confidence to be 6 and compliment an adult. Honestly the kids are alright. The next gen are sound.

happy halloween to what many people believed was the greatest tweet of all time

The annual #Halloween tradition of my husband - a teacher in our local school - throwing open the door to trick or treaters bellowing 'Did you do your homework' and frightening the shite out of the kids who didn't know he lives here. The screams! Pure terror. Best part of the night.

There's something else big on the way about this prick, isn't there? There has to be, they're getting out ahead of it.

This is no longer the case, and the Taoiseach is now on his way to Dublin Castle for the declaration
The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election.

Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

Another Halloween, another year of me resigning myself to a week of jump scares as the 8 foot floating ghost I insisted on installing outside my front door billows past the window and makes me think there's someone lurking outside. The human heart is not built to beat this fast! #Samhain

Leo Varadkar telling HH to 'hold your head high girl' is giving me the ick. #aras25

Anyone else walk out of the polling station after voting and think ...'Did I actually put the number 1 in the right box?!' Happens to me all the time, I just put in a 1 for CC and then left. Then had the fear I had accidentally voted for someone else! Same with Repeal, was convinced I voted No!
October 25, 2025 at 3:03 PM
This is appalling. It's part of his job and he's going to have to work with CC for the next seven years. What a petty, sniveling little man he is.

It's great that the Left combined for this election and of course kudos to the Soc Dems/Shinners/PBP but just to say Catherine Connolly put herself forward for this, as in Independent, long before she had that support - we shouldn't forget that. It was a brave thing to do. #aras25

What is the plan now for the Spoil Your Vote people? I mean that sincerely, what are they going to do to ensure there is a candidate they like on the ballot next time? They have 7 years plus a general/local/MEP election in between the next Presidential race so ... are they going to ask Steen to run?
October 25, 2025 at 9:49 AM
You'd miss an oul Exit Poll wouldn't you? What are we supposed to do overnight now?

Sleep?

Like chumps?

*Me outside the count centre at the crack of dawn tomorrow* Hey Mr Tally Man, count a vote for me ...
October 24, 2025 at 10:02 PM
You've more than three hours left to vote, loads of time if you haven't already. Have your dinner, relax with the kids, then stroll up to your polling station. It's not too late. Gowan sure! #aras25
October 24, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Penned a 15 verse Ode to Catherine on my ballot paper, to really hit home who I was voting for. Hope the staff at the count centre appreciate my efforts, I know they'll read every word. #aras25
