It seems that Oct 18th was "National Harp Day " in Ireland.
It's our national symbol and it's on our Passport. I was lucky to catch a snippet of this concert in The Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda on that day. This talented young harpist is Jennifer Leahy. #harp #irishharp

I'm just an ignorant European but humour me. If most people in a country are "centrist" politically and the rest are "left' and "right", then where is the Centrist party in the US ? People say Republicans are right wing and Democrats are left wing- Who caters for the Center (your spelling ) voters?

Large Pride parade 🏳️🌈 in Cork City. Great to see people celebrating their diversity and gender acceptance in Ireland. We’ve come a long way from the dominance of repressive religion.

I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.

Reading about the connection between the Choctaw Nation and Ireland. #Sinners got some DEEP lore. 😮 www.choctawnation.com/about/histor...
Choctaw and Irish History - Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
Two ancient peoples. A modern-day connection. Nothing divides the Choctaw people from the Irish except for the ocean.
