Talking election with Mrs H and she says HH makes her think of Norma Foley so that's that really. Game over man, game over

We should be asking this

The increasingly desperate attacks against Catherine Connolly aren't that surprising when you remember FFG's scare tactics during last year's general election

Here's hoping that @3arena.bsky.social follow suit.

Is she wearing … orange?!?!?!

Wonder why we're not reading about this in @irishtimes.com? Because this is every bit as much a scandal in this housing market as Jim Gavin fleecing his tenant was. So sick of these privileged politicians thinking laws are only for the little people.

The Bar Council have been put in the position of having issue a statement correcting the false claims in both the IT and the Indo that Connolly took cases by choice when in fact she was meeting her professional and legal obligations as all barristers do.

A great article from the lads at @wereontheditch.bsky.social about Humphreys tax avoidance. Not in the distant past, now. #Áras25

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Whoever put out the video of Catherine Connolly doing keepie uppies deserves an award. The apathetic 16 yr old came home from school saying that's as good as having a Misneach and he's annoyed he can't vote for her. #Áras25 #SpéirGhorm

I would like to remind Fine Gael politicians that arguably the most corrupt politician in the history of the state, possibly Europe, is currently a member of your coalition government

Joe Brolly showing that no matter what you achieve - you’ll always be reduced to a piece of meat by some lowlife in a way men never ever are

Choice?? Him?!?!!

Pretty sure Paul isn't usually in favour of choice, especially for women

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I love a reminder, especially one as gorgeous as this - that for all our human drama, there are forces that know nothing of our petty chaos and they just keep on going.

Your paper of record everyone #speirgorm

After decades to trying to save wolves
Now EU trying to wipe them out- even baby pubs
In the Baltics, 800 wolves are expected to be killed as hunters will be allowed to cull 341 wolves in Lithuania, 300 in Latvia and 134 in Estonia during this hunting season, with some expected to be pups

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Amazing scenes at Dublin Airport as the first of the Irish participants on the Global Sumud Flotilla are due home! #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸

This election will come down to turnout. I believe that most Irish people are on the right side of history when it comes to Palestine. We can have a President who will make the international community uncomfortable in our complicity. I implore you to vote. It's the least we can do. #spéirgorm

@sarahmaintains.bsky.social is on her way home. So much relief, but also so much admiration for her bravery and the bravery of all those on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

In 2023 Heather Humphreys owned 2 empty homes
in Cootehill, Co Cavan

4 Qs for @hhumphreysfg.bsky.social

1. Are these homes still empty?

2. Did u tell Revenue & pay Vacant Homes Tax?

3. Do you pay LPT?

4. How long were homes kept empty?

Catherine Connolly TD does keepy uppies

Last chance to check if your vote will be counted.

Probably naive to hope that several dozen landlords are shifting uncomfortably in their Oireachtas seats today

Gonna be incredibly funny if even in a two horse race and no Fianna Fáil candidate, Fine Gael still can’t win the presidency

It's not very Fianna Fáil to have a wobble over 3k

Fully agree, and it could have been SO good.
