Margaret Hogan, who "is ONLY 82yrs" was with us again. Her energy kept us going as the wind picked up and temperature dropped.

'Serious questions' about release of details relating to Ursula NΓ Shionnain, Connolly says | BreakingNews
Ms Connolly admitted that it had upset her that Ms NΓ Shionnain found herself in the media spotlight due to her connection with her.
Smear campaigns only work if targets try to run from their actions. Deputy Connolly, standing firm on her actions, turns table on accusers, in defense of a citizen's privacy, and her critics' hypocrisy

"This is not peace, it's a colonial carve up. And one of it's purposes is to try and demobilise people. They are now scared."
Don't let the obscene "peace plan" of US & Israel distract you from the reality.
Continue to mobilise and follow the example of Italian workers - we must shut things down.

Opinion: Those outraged by a β¬100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces
We have completely normalised investment in congestion, pollution and the continuation of car-first planning, writes CiarΓ‘n Cannon.
'The real scandal here is not βbike shed groundhog day.β Itβs the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.'
Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social

The Good Friday Agreement makes clear that the people alone will decide our future. We cannot delay, deny, or obstruct that right. The Irish and British governments should agree a date for a border poll, and begin preparing now to ensure it is inclusive, fair, and respectful of all traditionsβ - Catherine Connolly

@manchanmagan.bsky.social Terribly sad to hear the news of the death of #ManchanMagan
I enjoyed everything he did. His curiosity for a new topic was infectious. His joy at delving into our culture and language was a gift to us all. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Catherine Connolly speaking in DΓ‘il Γireann in June, 2025. βHouses are empty, while 15,580 people are homeless. The highest number ever, 4,775 of whom are children. And this government has taken pride in its policy. A jigsaw of pieces that add more confusion, that keep the prices of houses artificially high, that continues to treat housing as a commodity rather than an absolutely fundamental basic unit of society, a home.β

This Presidential election is clearly going to centre on neutrality.
There is one pro-neutrality candidate.
There are two pro-war candidates.
Make your choice.

Finally some straight talking on housing.
Catherine Connolly getting to the root of the crisis - neoliberalism - and clear on the solutions, housing as a human right and a radical reset on housing.

On the housing crisis:
"We need to realise it is a fundamental human right to have a home...We cannot call ourselves a republic with that many people [16,000] homeless."

The Catherine Connolly can be the beginning of the end for Fianna FΓ‘il - Fine Gael.
Get involved on www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie
If Sinn FΓ©in backs Catherine, we'll have a very broad left campaign, clearly against FF-FG and their plans to tear up our neutrality.

It is vital that we as public representatives reflect the voices of ordinary people honestly and work tirelessly to bridge the gap between political rhetoric and the lived experiences of our communities.
