In 2025, the Academy Library was gifted a 19th-century bone with an inscription in Irish. Thady Connellan (Tadhg Ó Coinnialláin, c.1780–1854), a bibliographer and schoolmaster from Sligo, made this and various inscriptions on other bones.

Sánchez speaking with moral clarity and courage. Even Macron and Mark Carney have now acknowledge the attacks were in breach of international law. Crickets from the Irish government for whom, it seems, the rhetorical commitment to the rules based order doesn't apply to the United States. Shameful.

Great to see some many make staff and students there - it’s not just a women’s issue.

Probably the largest protest I’ve seen in UCD - in solidarity with the UCD medical student who suffered horrific #GBV I’m proud to see so many of my students here.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Performative cruelty from Minister O’Callaghan

Mr Bored of Peace will never get a Nobel Peace Prize now! Taoiseach Micheál Martin cannot now in good conscience hand him that bowl of shamrock - his war planes killed over 100 Iranian schoolgirls yesterday #noshamrockfortrump

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Anything to distract from the Epstein files. Lots of people will die because of the abusive 💩 in the White Hse. Trump’s America is a danger to the world.
