A small round stone with a flat top incised with a cross. It bears an inscription in early Irish

Temple Brecan (also known as the Seven Churches) on Inis Mór, the Aran Islands. The ruins of stone medieval churches underneath a bright blue sky with wisps of white cloud.

'Prayer Stone’ • Inis Mór

This small stone was found at Temple Breccan on Inis Mór. The stone bears an Irish inscription:

OR[ÓlT] AR BRAN N AILITHER

'Pray for Bran the Pilgrim'.

It is likely to date to c.8-10th century. You can see it on display in the National Museum of Ireland.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

What soulless thing is this that laughs before a wreck?

Manchán Magan 1970 - 2025 💔

Craoltóir, scríbhneoir agus Gael. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Thar na blianta, chruthaigh sé & chuir sé i láthair an t-uafás cláracha do TnaG & TG4. Tá oidhreacht shaibhir fágtha aige dúinn a thabharfaidh inspioráid don chéad ghlúin eile 🕯️

Manchán Magan

Is briseadh mór croí dom an scéal a chloisteáil faoi bhás Mhanchán Magan ar maidin. Thug sé beocht agus brí nua don teanga trína chuid oibre ag léiriú gur lionsa eile í an Ghaeilge leis an domhan a fheiceáil agus a thuiscint.

A decorated copper axe covered in tight chevrons, with a leather sheath and a leather strap.

A close up of the decoration on the Brockagh Axe

This decorated copper axe dates to around 1900-1700 BC, the beginning of Ireland's Bronze Age.

It was found deep in a bog in Brockagh, County Kildare. The anaerobic bog preserved the leather sheath and its strap remarkably well.

admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it.

Watched Suspiria (2018) and can't stop thinking about it and I'm in the middle of Thompson's garage

Sally Rooney: I support Palestine Action. If this makes me a ‘supporter of terror’ under UK law, so be it www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

this is full of meaning

A sit down protest by Palestinian solidarity groups has been blocking the road in front of City Hall for 2 hours now

New sculpture in Drogheda representing Boann, the goddess of the Boyne. It's topped with a star and crescent.

Drogheda town Crest, featuring a medieval gate, a boat, 3 lions and a star and crescent

Drogheda United football club crest. It's a star and crescent

The Irish far right are so brazenly incurious and gullible that they'll believe anything their British masters tell em.

You have to be catastrophically stupid to try and start a panic about the Star and Crescent in DROGHEDA. It's always been our symbol.

Hey, remember when the Panama Papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered with a car bomb?

Good on @channel4news.bsky.social

For those who dk: the BBC decided not to show a documentary about Israel targeting Gaza doctors, a documentary that the BBC itself commissioned.

How Irish diplomats reacted to Bernadette Devlin's 1969 US tour The Irish Government found themselves in a delicate position when the civil rights activist and newly elected MP toured the US in 1969

Interesting insight into the consternation Bernadette Devlin caused to Irish diplomats in the US, due to both her criticism of the Irish govt’s neglect of the North and refusal to cosy upto conservative Irish Americans. What an inspiration! www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Placard at the antiracist rally in Belfast 21 June 2025. It reads Belfast is antifascist.

Once again the people of Belfast show up against racism, outnumbering the far-right 10 to 1. N. Ireland is experiencing a state cover-up of paramilitary involvement in the far-right violence and pogroms that swept the North in recent weeks. Only 30 arrests, only 43 cases handed to PPS from .. [1/3]
