Labbacallee • Cork

Labbacallee is Ireland’s largest example of a wedge tomb.

The name Labbacallee derives from Leaba Chaillí, which can be roughly translated to ‘The Hag’s Bed’.

Archaeologists discovered the remains of an adult woman, a man, and a child. All dating between 2456–1776 BC.

My mind blown to smithereens as I look through the entire catalogue of Ubu Productions and realise that I can only ever have seen this endcard and slogan, one of the most memorable TV stings of my entire childhood, on those eight occasions I watched an episode of Spin City to the end.
Sit! Ubu, sit! Good dog.

These 'Sausage Inspectors' look remarkably similar to the 'Bacon Inspectors' that turned up yesterday.

This, my friends, is why we should all really try to buy Irish.

Just like @lowensskincare.bsky.social, most SMEs here are family businesses.

The loss of the US market is going to have a huge impact on us.

Please make an effort to support Irish business.

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

You might easily take this for tropical rainforest in some faraway country.

But it's an Irish temperate rainforest, a much *rarer* habitat.

And it's equally threatened, only by masses of deer, goats, and sheep, rather than chainsaws or bulldozers.

Have you ever passed through the Dromana Gate?

This fairy-tale gateway in the Hindu-Gothic style is beautifully set over the Blackwater River in County Waterford.

The gate was made by locals to greet Henry Villiers-Stuart and his new bride, Theresia Pauline Ott, on their return from honeymoon.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

Such a great pleasure to see Pádraic @whittledaway.bsky.social in action advising some of the increasing numbers of people who want to rewild their land, in this instance near Kenmare.

There's *nothing* better you can do for nature.
Rewilding in Kerry!

Ed and Francis have beautiful Atlantic rainforest on their land which they want protected.

Delighted to be joined today by @irishrainforest.bsky.social
