Think there are going to be a *lot* of texts in about this advice re children at back of class during religion class and sacrament prep. It goes way beyond “maybe they can draw pictures of stuff they don’t believe in to feel included” and misses the mark entirely to suggest that’s the solution.

I think warm & cuddly is less his wheelhouse. This *is* his version of a light interview to get started

Wanted to get everyone tuned in I guess

Someone give David McC a hug and tell him he can relax a bit, he’s grand like

There is no good reason for peaceful protest about an IPAS centre outside that centre. There are no decision makers in there.

Protest peacefully at your local TDs office, or the Dáil. Protesting outside *anyone’s* home is only ever intended to intimidate, which in turn is never a peaceful act.

i sincerely hope that A Certain Other Irish Pop Star gets the help that she needs, but right now she is very publicly acting like a bully and is absolutely not a voice to be listened to or trusted when it comes to trans lives. can i ask for all the lovely people in the irish/musicy/ gay/alloftheabove circle who are *rightfully* outraged by her latest series of tweets to not share them? i can tell that everyone's intentions are good but it can be quite traumatising to spread around this bogus 'data. I really care about prevention of harm to the trans community and i believe in the power of cutting off hate at the source. anyways. today seems like as fabulous a day as ever to donate to TENI, Trans Equality Network Ireland. https://teni.ie/donate/?fbclid=PAZnRzaANncGtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp2cnZliqOys3gQKkAF8NEpuBafVfttOvDRjB-OQJ7l87861IlgPXkrXzoDXq_aem_HF0eRetIzgAfhfLYk8-y4Q i love you all so much ! let's work harder to protect our trans family during these

CMAT is a legit legend

In Saggart tonight there's a large group of masked men who just want to protect women and children who also happened to be determined to murder a hotel full of women and children

“I learned Irish the same as everyone else”. I know she’s trying to be inclusive by saying this but no that’s actually not how everyone learned it and maybe the rest of us matter too 🤷🏻‍♀️

Man jailed for 18 years for raping daughter and assault A man who repeatedly raped his young daughter and subjected his former partner to a "prolonged, horrific and cruel attack" in which she thought she was going to be murdered has been jailed for 18 year...

Where is the "protest" for this 10 year old?

RTE news : Man jailed for 18 years for raping daughter and assault

People who only get angry about assaults on women when they perceive the perpetrator to be someone other than their friends isn’t really angry about assaults on women. See also: Ballymena.

I know he’s taken a knock to the head but what unnecessary madness was that #coybig

Helen says it better but I do hope she was as happy as she looked. And also as sound.

Diane Keaton having directed the video for Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” is my new favourite piece of trivia. RIP.

Jim Gavin got a dose of the Glenroes and now we all have to stay up late on a Sunday evening with the stress of it all

Breaking: Jim Gavin withdraws from Presidential Election.

Thinking of Sarah Clancy and everyone else onboard the flotilla tonight. Fairly lost for words.

Imagine if Michael D was sitting on this panel. And then consider a strong drink.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Pure odd to talk about the Irish language and the presidency without mention of the primacy of the Irish language version of the Bunreacht. It’s almost like nobody knows what the job is…

Not always as clear cut but with himself watching I deeply want Alcaraz to win this one

Haven’t seen a genuine jaw-dropping twist in a while but the Highschool Catfish documentary sure delivers. What on earth…

Absolute state of having Malachy Steenson on as a random talking head about flags without flagging (sorry) his fairly specific perspective on immigration

We're very excited to announce this— Off The Scéal is a brand new Multilingual Open-Mic night created and hosted by the amazing @danflynn94.bsky.social and myself 😍

Come on down to the DLR Lexicon Studio and join us for a night of poetry and song —

‘It was all about hurling... Being gay, ultimately, you were not masculine enough’ Cofounder of the LGBTQ+ youth organisation Belong To discusses the rise of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric across the world

23 years ago when me and my friend Paul were devising silly musical schemes, Paul's flatmate Mick was in the next room organising Belong To & starting an LGBTQI+ youth movement. Mick Barron is a legend. I interviewed him about his new book on LGBTQI+ youth activism www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

There were no fathers, obviously. Unless childcare starts being framed as an issue for everyone and not just mothers it’s never going to be fixed. The men in the Dáil have collectively faced exactly four minutes of stress about finding childcare for their own children.

Missed the start. Are all the fathers affected by the childcare crisis ringing liveline in the second hour?

"We're really sorry we bombed a hospital containing sick people and journalists, and we're also really sorry that we waited for other journalists and medics and rescue staff to arrive, and then bombed them too.
This, of course, was a mistake that just happened all by itself."
