No woman should be subjected to inappropriate remarks from a #taxi driver. There is a power imbalance between driver & passenger & a lone female passenger is in a vulnerable position. His comments were frightening. 🚩

Workmen in to do a bit of beautification to the gaff. Noise and dust all day. Beautification no longer matters, I just want my quiet, clean gaff back. Woe is me.

The Tories are named for an Irish word, 'Toraidhe'/'Tóraí' meaning highwayman, or robber.
So we could help you out again by renaming UK Labour the "Sleeveens" from 'Slíbhín', meaning conman, honourless person or habitual liar.

Lemass wasn’t the absolute worst (as FF Taoisigh go) but he did introduce the 1935 Conditions of Employment Act which restricted women’s access to the workplace. His biographer says he was sexist & regarded women’s employment as ‘contrary to the Irish way of life’, so that’s a no from me. #speirgorm

In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

I quite literally will never understand this take. I know that we always need *some* rental property available but the vast majority of people in Ireland want to own and we can't because of *drumroll please* landlords buying multiple properties to rent. Them leaving the market is what we want.
Landlords 'stampede' out of rental market ahead of new changes coming next year

The new rules and regulations will not affect tenants that have been in place before March 1 and after that date, they will see a six-year tenancy agreement put in place
Renters could be facing an even more uncertain market in the months ahead of new tenancy rules that are coming into effect

Rock Hudson was born on this day 100 years ago.
He was the epitome of the handsome, seemingly hetero, Hollywood star.
AIDS outed him and killed him.
He died in 1985, aged 59.
His death shocked the world. For many, he was the first person they knew of to die as a result of HIV.
