I wonder if this is involves the state purchasing Derrymore Island as it looks like the land that was listed for sale in 2024 with a guide price of €1 million is now gone sale agreed.

The Mayo Curse is Lifted
I follow the hurling more than the Gaelic football, but I did watch yesterday’s memorable All-Ireland final between Kerry and Mayo which attracted a TV audience of over a million people. Bear in mind that the population of the Republic of Ireland is just 5 million.
Kerry were strong favourites ahead of the game, but it was underdogs Mayo (who played in all-white kit) that prevailed, deservedly, by 1-20 to 1-17.
This result is huge news because it is 75 years since Mayo won the All-Ireland title – they had been beaten finalists six times since 2012, including 2020 and 2021. The last time they won was in 1951. The Mayo colours were much in evidence in Maynooth last night as people celebrated their team lifting the Sam Maguire Cup along with the lifting of the Mayo Curse. I don’t think any members of the Mayo team will be buying their own drinks for a long time!
I like this very wholesome picture showing Mayo’s Jordan Flynn and Kobe McDonald on the pitch at Croke Park after the end of the game.

I just emailed TDs in Kerry, Galway, Mayo, and Donegal telling them to stand firm against corporate takeover of seaweed harvesting, can you do the same?

Rearing to Go at the Dingle Races
Number 9 had clearly decided that the racing could wait. I was wandering around at the Dingle Races and right in front of me this dark bay racehouse reared up on it's hind legs while the poor jocket and two men tried to calm the animal. It only lasted a moment and the racing continued.https://inphotos.org/2026/06/19/rearing-to-go-at-the-dingle-races/

#IrisgTimes Pat Leahy's article on #HealyRae brothers fallout https://archive.is/hS6oo is short on insight/research, but big on #snark. Esp about their da, the late Jackie Healy-Rae TD.
"When Jackie Healy-Rae first emerged, a sophisticate in FF remarked he’d never get elected, not least cos he looked like he combed his hair with a pork chop."
Jackie was elected 3 times as a TD, and founded a dynasty.
But the "sophisticate" was right about the pork chop. 😈😅🤣
