Fingers crossed that today weโ€™ll see a socialist elected as Mayor of New York City. Zohran Mamdaniโ€™s campaign shows thereโ€™s a huge appetite for practical socialist policies, building public infrastructure and addressing the cost of living. Thereโ€™s political hope for the future! #VoteZohran #Mamdani

CCTV catches moment intruder torched asylum centre housing children Gardai have rebranded attack in Drogheda as a potential attempted murder after camera footage was released

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

I see we have to explain the cab rank rule again!!

The US of A is a total embarrassment to itself! Cosplaying authoritarianism with fools like this.

Five minutes into House of Guinness: I see it went for Peaky Blindersesque, cool soundtrack and utter retelling of Irish history!

Itโ€™s been a wild day for world politics - Nepalese government falls spectacularly, Charlie Kirk shot dead & Europe freaking out over Russian drones.

When are the precedented times returning again! ๐Ÿ˜จ

Absolutely! Its actually horrific. Even advising a client to go get a safety/barring order in court - itโ€™s just a piece of paper at the end of the day. Itโ€™s definitely made me very hyper-vigilant.

As someone who works in this area in the legal field, not a week goes by when Iโ€™m not shocked at the behaviour of men in relationships. The length they will go to inflict abuse on women. Itโ€™s staggering.

โ€˜Isnโ€™t it brilliantโ€™ a mother says, photographing her children at the bonfire topped with an effigy of a migrant boat Police Service of Northern Ireland investigates โ€˜hate crimeโ€™ following reports of material atop bonfire

This is just sick. NI bonfires have been out of hand for years with no legal or political intervention.

I have to say this is a great idea.

As a criminal lawyer, Iโ€™ve often had to explain to first-timers following imposition of a sentence what exactly will happen when they land into prison.
A massively anxiety-inducing experience for all of them.

The Irish Bar is a funny place. We are more a family than just colleagues.

Yesterday we lost one of the true great legends of the Bar & in particular, a legend of the Midland Circuit Bar.

A promotional image for our webinar. It features a picture of a substantial ringfort enclosure, known as the King's Fort, overlooking Drumsurn in County Derry, and a picture of Dr Elizabeth Boyle. 

The heading reads:

So excited for this evening's Tuatha Talk Webinar with the brilliant @thecelticist.bsky.social: 'Marriage, Bees, and Warfare: Exploring Early Irish Law'.

It should be a really fascinating discussion!

๐Ÿซฃ Not a particularly clever remark - especially since Irish tricolours will be burned on bonfires in Northern Ireland next month & not a word said.

Watching everyone trek to Zach Bryan in the Phoenix park brings back the awful memories of Robbie Williams in 2003 - what a nightmare venue!
