A towering, cone-shaped stone building with a slate-tiled base and a corkscrew staircase wrapping around its exterior. The unique, spiralling barn stands against a dramatic, cloudy sky with a bright sunburst and a single white contrail slicing through the clouds. A smaller, traditional building sits attached to the base. The lighting is moody and atmospheric, highlighting the texture of the old stonework and the lush green grass in the foreground.

"The Wonderful Barn" is a brilliant sight! Built in 1743 to provide local jobs, this corkscrew grain store is a marvel against dramatic skies.

Please , please do NOT ADD/build these ugly man made structures which greatly take from the natural beauty in these areas. Suggest you might even have fun knocking them down if you come upon them. #spéirghorm #ireland

Closed rugby experience in Limerick to become permanent ‘women’s museum’ The Government plans to accept the property on O’Connell Street in Limerick, which was formerly the International Rugby Experience.

The former International Rugby Experience in Limerick, which closed in 2024, is set to become a “women’s museum”.

The exhibition building will become a new regional branch of the National Museum of Ireland and “host a permanent exhibition telling the stories of women in Ireland”.

A view from the interior of a dark, rough concrete structure looking out towards the sea. The perspective is framed by four rectangular window openings separated by thick concrete pillars. A bright sunburst shines intensely through the central opening, illuminating the shimmering ocean water and the textured clouds in the blue sky above. The interior walls are in deep shadow, creating a strong silhouette effect against the bright coastal scene outside.

After a recommendation from one of my followers on TikTok, I went to Kilmichael Point, Co Wexford yesterday & peeked in this old World War II lookout post. I was even treated to a glimpse of the SUN! 😱

Sky News: Danish PM Mette Freideriksen’s note in the visitors book when she visited UK today

We really should let Steve Bannon know that Ireland is so woke, that we have an entire year in school devoted to transitioning.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Thomas Massie that begins, ‘Psst, Denmark…’ and jokes that telling the administration the Epstein files are in Greenland would make them lose interest and never find them.

Say what you want, but Massie has game.

Sign on door prohibiting immigration enforcement on private property

Shelf filled with goggles and whistles

This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Telling the government my new home is going to be a data centre so they'll build it for me

An aerial view of a tall stone tower on the coast of the Burren

Gleninagh Castle • The Burren • County Clare

This towerhouse was built by the O’Loughlins who called themselves the ‘Princes of the Burren’.

When it was originally rendered and whitewashed, it would have made a distinctive landmark on the grey rocky shore of the Burren.

Yesterday @mayocountycouncil.bsky.social passed a motion demanding that the government of #Ireland pass the #OTB without delay, including both goods AND SERVICES.

This is the bare minimum our government can do to uphold international law.

We commend Mayo Co. Co. for standing with humanity.

Enoch Burke has 'something to hide' over income - judge A High Court judge has said teacher Enoch Burke and his family could be using his court case to make money and that it was clear Mr Burke had "something to hide" about his income.

While the Burkes were off at shouting practice, Judge Cregan studied the blade.
