My wife bought me a beautiful Aran knit jumper in a charity shop. I wore it to an event and the first five people to greet me asked some variation of "How's the fishing?" or "Where's the boat".
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

"The Irish language revival of today was not designed in government departments; it was built from below. It began in Pop Up Gaeltachtí, podcasts, community cafés and hip-hop... ...From Gaelcholáistí to pop culture, Irish slipped the leash of officialdom and went viral in the best sense."
"When The Sunday Times columnist Alison O’Connor warned that the rise of the Irish language might be “creating a them-and-us situation,” she revealed less about the language than about the anxieties of Ireland’s establishment commentariat."

Bealtaine Pick: Craic Baby by Darach Ó Séaghdha
What do we talk about when we talk about Irish? How do new words enter a language? And how does our relationship with language change and develop?

A cost-of-living crisis isn't the easiest time to sell art, but: www.ciaraioch.com is where you can support my work, with each archival-quality print on textured heavy paper being produced here in Ireland, shipping internationally in eco-friendly packaging, with free mini-treats in every order 🎁

Irish puppets would take any British puppets in a fight. Judge and Socky mercilessly ripping Basil to shreds, Podge and Rodge beating Sooty to death with a hurley, Dustin and Bosco taking turns to clothesline Rosie while a hogtied Jim looks on, screaming

Ana-bhródúil as mo chol seisear Aoibhe, ó Ghaeltacht na Déise, a bhain an chéad áit amach i gcomórtas náisiúnta Portráidí na nÓg leis an nGailearaí Náisiúnta.
Proud as punch of my cousin Aoibhe, winner of this year's National Gallery Young Portrait Artist. Hup!
