Fingers crossed that today we’ll see a socialist elected as Mayor of New York City. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign shows there’s a huge appetite for practical socialist policies, building public infrastructure and addressing the cost of living. There’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.

Autumnal glory! 🍂

Waiting for the leaves to turn! 🍁

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

A barrister’s role is to represent not judge!

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!

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

It’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! 😨

Delighted for Nikita Hand. I hope she can move on with her life now in a positive & fulfilled way.

So basically the comedy tent at EP is UCD L&H on tour! 😂

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

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

Not a single tent was left behind after the Forest Fest in Emo Co. Laois this weekend 👏👏👏

‘Isn’t it brilliant’ a mother says, photographing her children at the bonfire topped with an effigy of a migrant boat Police Service of Northern Ireland investigates ‘hate crime’ 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.

Searched high & low for this book in the last month - finally got the last copy in my local bookshop, who told me they can’t keep it in stock 🤣🤣

I have to say this is a great idea.

As a criminal lawyer, I’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.

Golden hour with the best men in my life 🥰

A fine of £70,000 imposed! 😮

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.

RIP John Phelan SC

Mamdani’s Shock Win Has Wall Street Fretting Over ‘Hot Commie Summer’ Even Zohran Mamdani’s detractors recognize that the vibes are with the 33-year-old democratic socialist.

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: 'Tuatha Talk Webinar. Marriage, Bees, and Warfare: Exploring Early Irish Law'.

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!

Love this pub in Kildare 😍

Someone playing Christmas songs in Heuston & it’s not a vibe!

It was! A lifetime ago!!

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

Fabulous to see UCD’s archaeology students still digging away in Wicklow!

21 years ago I was one of them!!

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