With little leverage given low risks of successful litigation against the orders, voluntary contributions to redress rely on the virtue of these religious congregations. Evidence of a Christ like response remains sadly lacking
Quelle surprise. Religious organisations have made an art form of evading their responsibility for historical rights abuses.
Just one religious order has made ‘serious offer’ of cash redress to mother-and-baby home survivors

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.
Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.
Support local, not the billionaires.

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
The results were...interesting...

I'll admit it's not THE most annoying thing about Elon Musk spearheading the Trump presidency, but I used to direct people to my Mary McAleese story by telling them to Google "president ketamine" and he's fucking ruined it.

The 2034 World Cup will be held atop a mountain of dead. FIFA knows it. The toll in Saudi Arabia will be staggering.
In Qatar, a nation with—comparatively only—a better human rights record, 6500 (not a typo!) died for the sake of the World Cup.
This is monstrous.

Really great news. Rory’s a strong voice of reason on the housing crisis. Delighted that we’ll hear that voice in the Dail.

I can’t say I’m surprised with the exit polls. What saddens me is people voted to maintain their comfortable financial positions knowing that the most vulnerable in society will see things get worse. They basically ok’d the old govs disdain.😞

I’ve heard this phrase many times‘Over consulted under delivered’. So much money was wasted on consultation but it was just kicking the can down the road without acting on what was said in those consultations by affected people. #MotherAndBabyHomes #GE24

I love going to the movies on my own. I don’t have to answer daft questions and no one else has to witness me dribbling a ton of nacho cheese dip down my front..
I know some of you weirdos hate going to the cinema alone, but a solo afternoon in a quiet cinema is one of life’s great quiet pleasures
I’m waiting for Pedro and Paul to start sweating and fighting
