🗣️ "Are we going to have a conversation, on the level that you are about deportations here, about the crisis of male violence against women in this country?” - @eimer_mcauley #TonightVMTV

Last day in the job after nearly 28 years. Without getting all Linkedin on it, ready to move on and try something new.

The bright spark in this Xpit right now is Marty at the Eurovision, get on it

This is such an informative read from @Diarmuid_9 who is one of the smartest Irish writers on religious affairs - all of his work from the Vatican this month has been superb

Uncomfortable with getting into anything personal online so, deep breath... I was diagnosed with cancer last Friday and go under the knife on Monday. So many people are doing brilliant work in this field. If you can, help the Irish Cancer Society at https://t.co/MxlfnqRj8r Thanks

Susan Daly: The truth about Meta’s broadside against fact-checkers

Zuckerberg described factcheckers as a “tool to censor” but as @BiddyEarly explains "this simply isn’t possible. Fact-checkers could never remove or block content on Meta platforms. ... only Meta has the power to remove or limit access"

In case you were wondering. Debunked: No, Pope Francis didn't open spiritual portals to other dimensions over Christmas (via @thejournal_ie)

Where else would you want to be on New Year's Day? An incredible number of starlings at tonight's murmuration over Lough Ennell, with near-perfect conditions

As far as I can tell, The Journal is the only major media outlet highlighting whats going on in Athlone? https://t.co/YWaX2O3cUw

#ThroughHerEyes At this time of year, there are always several articles calling on us to remember the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier - and rightly so. But let us remember the unsolved murder of Belinda Pereira too. No one was ever charged with the murder of  the 26-year-old

Thrilled to announce a new @Researchirel project! It will bring together researchers (sociolinguists, minority language scholars, computational linguists) to tackle dis/misinformation from a multilingual perspective @FuJoMedia @AdaptCentre @DCU_Research @brendanspillane
