Privately owned spaces like billboards or bus stop slots like these are always exempt from postering rules. Postering rules only apply to public spaces

I look forward to seeing the Minsiter’s proposals to end global war and famine

Reform gets Kruger. Now they’re just missing Dunning

This fits

A graphic showing the Irish tricolour inside a styalised heart with the text, "The Tricolour Belongs To Us All".

Symbol of Peace and Unity • The Irish tricolour was created as a symbol of peace between traditions living together on this island. It is a symbol of inclusion and the Ireland we are today - diverse and open. • The tradition of the tricolour is to welcome everybody, no matter who you are, where you come from, or the color of your skin.

Strong Communities The issue is not about flags on poles, but about the kind of communities we want to build together. Public symbols should never be used to intimidate or divide. Ensuring our shared public spaces are ones of safety, care and welcome for all who call Ireland home. Flying the tricolour means a celebration of diversity, and peace. Inclusive communities are safer, stronger, and better places for everyone to thrive. It is important to uplift our own values and to demand better for everybody in our communities, no exceptions.

Fantastic initiative by H&CC. 👏👏

The tricolour was not a well-known flag in 1916. It represents a republic of different identities, traditions, languages and religions.

The promise of a republic "oblivious of the differences carefully fostered ..., which have divided a minority from the majority".

CMAT is a national hero

In the money 🤑

Fun fact: Sean Kelly got more FPVs in the recent European Elections just in the South constituency than Gay Mitchell got nationwide in the 2011 Presidential Election.

UN says 1,373 killed waiting for aid in Gaza since May The UN human rights office has said that 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for aid in Gaza since late May, most of them by the Israeli military.

Ireland’s forest situation is incredibly bleak

Spotted this corporate slogan in a window in Kilkenny this week, something of a modern masterpiece in ambiguity.

“The EPA study indicated that agricultural run-off was the source of the excess nutrient levels. It measured at seven times what it should be.”

Quote this back at FF/FG everytime the phrase ‘nitrates derrogation’ comes up

What a brilliant day at the launch of the Irish Cycling Campaign with Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social.

This new identity isn't just about cycling, it's about transforming our communities into safer, more inclusive, more welcoming & connected places.

Míle buíochas to our members & supporters.

Happy bike week!

Happy bike week everyone!

When people say you should hear both sides of the argument, well these are both sides:

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Like there are other ways to be neutral. Changing our current model doesn’t mean we automatically join NATO.

To me, the current “model” of neutrality we have is partly defined by not spending money on defence. Our model of neutrality is dependent on NATO implicitly and the UK explicitly covering up for our lack of defence spending.

Trying to square this with that previous poll saying most people want more defence spending is giving me a headache.

Science and modern medicine is incredible.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

All just a ploy to set up stripping Adams of his citizenship

Mother's Day: Maternity benefits and childcare in the EU While Ireland's maternity leave compares well to other EU countries, Irish fathers are still far behind in terms of entitlements.

While Ireland's maternity leave compares well to other EU countries, Irish fathers are still far behind in terms of entitlements, writes Tania Reut.

Amazed the backbenchers have stayed quiet over this. I’d be apoplectic
