Three photos of the author Val Mulkerns at varying stages of her career.

Remembering Val Mulkerns, Irish writer, keen observer of the apparently ordinary, whose birthday is today. I met her when I was a 14-year-old brat, and from then until her dying day in 2018 she would inevitably greet me with "Well, what are you writing these days?" 451editions.com/author-val-m...

Not just illegal but morally bankrupt and utterly corrupt. Expect more of the same…

Falling in love with Kiri all over again!

Yikes – you set a high bar.
I should also point out that what you are talking about is atonement not forgiveness.

Extract from an Irish times article that refers to Morgan McSweeney as a cork man

Sally Rooney? – Irish, of course. Michael Fassbender – Éireannach cinnte. Ach Morgan bocht? Cork man. Easy knowing The Irish Times is published in Dublin!

Change is indeed happening as a result of lessons learned. Time to buff your CV ma'am.

And endlossheißausgebrennt means no-one is surprised.

I had a friend school read trashy romance novels for fun and who collected howlers. I remember "No" he hissed.
And "she won fifteen million francs in as many minutes"

It has eerie overtones of the dissident poetry of the Soviet era – I'm thinking of the Polish and Czech poets in particular

This woman is a beacon of light which, God knows, we all need right now. Check out her website.

You take a great photo as well. As well as being a terrific artist that is.

Go hálainn ! Ach, cogar, cad is actually craobh le fíon ? Fíniúin ? An offlicence áitiúla ??

Ahh go deimhin!

What time is the last gondola?

Tá an scéal go léir tóin taobh tuathal amuigh acu! The Gaeltacht was where I learned to love Irish in the course of three cases of unrequited love, becoming addicted to cigarettes and kissing a girl for the first, second, and multiple subsequent times.

Wow! I am never sure about the sound they make, but the repertoire is fascinating – thank you.

What an amazing resource – thank you for the heads-up!

Did the photo of your wife cause you to fall off the wall, or are these two unrelated events?

An arts and culture venue that will also continue to function as a church. It has existed, literally and figuratively, in the shadow of the cathedral, and I'm looking forward to Werburgh's having an identity of its own.

Focal an lae inniu cinnte! Tá sé ag clagarnach gan sos lasmuigh.

Friendly greetings from Dublin where the church of Saint Werburgh was originally built in 1178. The current building, dating from the early 1700s, is being restored at the moment.

Sos ais suaimhneas i do chluasa ar feadh seala. Binn glór na fearthainne is tú ar foscadh in aice na tine!

Is léir fosta gur múinteoir neamhchoitianta thú ! Pádraigín an Píobaire na Gaeilge.

I am afraid that the music business is a wash with something worse than AI slop – a kind of Uberisation that has creators throwing together the same hackneyed Lego blocks trying to sound original. I did statistical research on Spotify metrics and the originals are indistinguishable from the AI.
