  1. I read @gavreilly reporting that Ray McAdam is set to be given a Seanad seat (to replace Seán Kyne), and I think I just got a little bit sick in my mouth..

  3. Ah, I see FFG are trying to do the "High Vis and Helmets are going to be mandatory for pedal cyclists" authoritarian bullshit again. 🙃

    A high vis vest wont make me more visible to drivers, but a trans pride flag cape would make me more visible and rapidly increase the likelihood that "fellow" motorists would murder me.

  8. Oh gawd 🤮🤮🤮

    #LisaNandy told #BBC R4 Today: "I think there will be two things that will be different under Andy #Burnham.

    "The first is that it will be faster and bolder, and he's willing to think very differently about how we deliver that change.
    ...
    "The second thing that will be different is we will wear our hearts on our sleeves more."

    Quote from archive.is/Lrttv

    It's as vapid as when #SimonHarris became #Taoiseach in 2024 promising "a new energy". 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  13. Can a mere 484 submissions really be considered a success in 21st-century democracy? Personally I think that's quite a derisory level of engagement.

  17. #PatLeahy is political ed of The #IrishTimes. His 1st paid job was at #ThePhoenix. So can Pat explain its demise? archive.is/CILA6

    Pat says The Phoenix was redundant. It had exposed corruption, but tribunals & laws ended corruption.

    Bollix! The Galway Tent ended. In came mega-scandals of neoliberalism. In 2013, the FG-Lab govt handed Irish housing to vulture funds, & tried privatising water. More muck than ever. But now its neoliberal muck, and the Irish Times is neoliberal. 🤮

  22. Using public money to buy services from a company your own staff had founded might well generate an expectation that an apology wouldn't suffice in other contexts...

  24. #Rapist #JeffreyDonaldson is in prison. The former #DUP leader was convicted of all 18 sexual offences he was charged with, and will be sentenced in September. His wife Eleanor faced only a "trial of the facts", but all charges were upheld.

    Sexual abuse by powerful men is an all-Ireland problem. It's a scandal that yet again, justice has been delayed by decades. 😡

    This isn't just one wicked criminal, or one party. It's an all-Ireland cultural failure.

  29. Heartbroken by closure of satirical/investigative magazine The Phoenix. After 42 years, it is a huge loss to Irish journalism, politics and culture.

    #PhoenixMagazine was often compared to #PrivateEye. It had a similar mix of satire & investigation, but #ThePhoenix was more serious and was spared the Eye's English public school boy humour.
