25.10.2025 18:40 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It’s really striking to me that Catherine Connolly clearly has loads of friends and Heather Humphreys appears not to (I accept that friends may well be a part of her private life and I totally respect that). But it’s interesting

In town browsing the early modern Irish history shelves as you do and reminded again of Bríd McGrath’s tangible and intangible impact of all of us who work on this stuff. I’d love to have heard her views on today’s election
