We need to get rid of the 12 week limit to abortion access for many reasons. But forcing a teenage asylum seeker who is having mental health problems, possibly due to being pregnant, to go to court to access care is abhorrent

You have got to be fucking kidding me! This, a pitch in Dublin Castle, “touchdown” painted on Parliament St. etc. etc.
Turning the city into Disneyland for tourists. God forbid it’d happen for the All Ireland or the likes

And one for anyone interested in Irish history: 'Run with the Hare, Hunt with the Hound' by @pdufaigh.bsky.social – an immersive plunge into the time of the Norman arrival in Ireland, full of moral dubiousness. And as Paul is one of our leading archaeologists of medieval Dublin, it is VERY accurate

Trying to book a bus from Tralee to Dingle, can’t do it on Bus Eireann website anymore. I had to call a number, told to download a TFI app, and then had to create an account to buy a ticket.
How is that accessible for people especially non tech savvy?

I sit in my dwelling. A shed in someone's back garden. Alone. No room to host friends. The pubs closed at 4pm. The lights go. The electricity is needed for data centres.

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.
There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

If they ever decide to name a street after Flann O'Brien, this is the one... only each bit needs to be named after a different one of his names.
I do not, nor will I ever, know whether I'm on Camden street, Aungier street or George's Street.
I refuse to learn.
