Filmed over four years across kitchen tables, protests and public meetings, this documentary follows a city fighting for itself as a broken property market chews up its citizens for profit. Rooted in Dublin, it reveals global forces reshaping cities, where homes are assets and people are obstacles.

Sadly the new Residential Tenancies Bill confirms what we all already know That Politicians Make People Homeless thru' their policies favouring property owners, investment funds over those who need a home But who's surprised in Government with big Landlords as Ministers calling the shots #speirgorm

IN HOPE OUR STARS ALIGN ⭐️
I released my debut album a year ago today. What a year! Thanks for listening 🩵
Best served on vinyl ♠️
It is the anniversary of Bloody Sunday today. Thomas Kinsella’s ‘Butcher’s Dozen’ is still so resonant:
All not blinded by your smoke,
Photographers who caught your stroke,
The priests that blessed our bodies, spoke
And wagged our blood in the world’s face.
The truth will out, to your disgrace.
Whenever flooding hits, we hear in detail all about the wrecked homes, livelihoods, property, and related misery.
But NEVER the major cause: that Ireland has been totally stripped of the native ecosystems like forest & bogs that would naturally have absorbed the water.

FIRE DRILL - OUT NOW 🔥
The title of my album ‘In Hope Our Stars Align’ is taken from my new single ‘Fire Drill’ which is inspired by Thomas Kinsella’s ‘Butcher’s Dozen’ and Seamus Heaney’s ‘The Cure At Troy’ (in particular the lines “hope and history rhyme” and “hope for a great sea-change”).
Nice one Kieran ⭐️

“..perhaps it is more accurate to view a year in recorded music nowadays as being made up of a million small victories rather than one supreme influence…every song you love in 2025 feels at the very least like a minor miracle, every album a major one.”
Great to meet you too Eoin!
