It rumbles on. Someone is now doing an official survey and they're going to geographically map the results. God I love nerds! 🤓

My daughter turned one this week (I KNOW), which also marked one year of our breastfeeding journey.

I got an unexpected parcel in the post today from a great pal in Cork to celebrate the occasion. 🤣

Other gifts not shown: gold medal to mark the achievement, and five creme eggs.

Dreaming of seeing it on the 18th at Portrush (as a Portstewart girl!)... or at least just making the cut 🙈
One of my greatest sporting memories watching Lowry do it!

No power here in Donegal but I think *touch wood* we're through the worst of it. Someone's wheelie bin ending up at the bottom of our garden is the only real damage I can see!

I may be accused of bias, but my mammy wrote a brilliant book based on her teenage diaries growing up in Belfast in 1972. It's absolutely worth a read for anyone interested in the troubles, to get a completely raw, first-hand account of what life was like for a 'normal' teenager.

On the theme of far-right 'patriots', next up we have Eamon McGee, Irish Freedom Party candidate for Donegal. A little more substance on his leaflet than McConnell's, but the same racist dog whistles scattered throughout.

Image of election leaflet for Eamon McGee, Irish Freedom Party candidate for Donegal in #GE24. Includes a picture of McGee, wearing a suit and staring off into the distance, with the following text: "As your County Donegal TD, I will: ‣ Fight against Mass Immigration ‣ Put lrish families first for housing ‣ Protect farming and fishing outcomes. ‣ Promote cheaper energy and zero carbon tax ‣ Promote small business and an enterprise economy ‣ Guard parental rights in education and oppose damaging trans ideology. ‣ Work to reopen all Donegal hotels to tourists, not welfare tourists ‣ i will with the lrish Freedom endorse the Justice 4 Donegal Defective Concrete Homes & Properties Group as the way forward to challenge Mica Legislation VOTE NO. 1 Eamon McGEE"

Perfect summary of Niall McConnell's positioning: no policies, just factually incorrect racism.

Nothing further to add.
Picture of far-right independent candidate for Donegal, Niall McConnell's election leaflet. Includes an image of Niall holding his dog, beside text stating "Ireland is full! Resist the occupation! Given current immigration rates, the Irish people will be in a minority by 2050." Two pie charts are presented, with no data sources, showing "70% Irish, 30% Foreigners" in 2024 and "45% Irish, 55% Foreigners" in 2050.
