“Irish is a dead language!” Listen to Misha Yerhidzé, a 10 year old Ukranian boy who fled the war with his mother just over two years ago and settled in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, in the West Kerry Gaeltacht. He has embraced the language and music of his new community.

One of the few things I miss about Ireland since moving to Berlin is this kind of easy going small talk with a stranger in a shop or cafe or whatever.

No better nor sadder image of the legacy of Fine Gael’s last 13 years in government than a precious little boy staring out of his homeless emergency accommodation at the faces of the people who claim to be “securing your future”.
@SimonHarrisTD Meet Jack, he was forced into homelessness with his Mammy when they were served a notice to quit after 10 years renting. This is Jack's view from his homeless hub. He wants to know who's future is being secured because it sure as hell isn't his! Shame on this Govt

The Sunday Indo has so many anti SF opinion pieces in today's paper -a few included here - they outnumber the remainder of other opinion pieces about everything else going on in the world. A defacto government press office publication

The music video for Lonely Louder is out now. Big love to @zoeashebrowne and @robthestudio for their work and vision on this video, and to @hi_im_shiv for the magic on the track. Have yourself a nice sunny summer bop! https://t.co/PW0HHvJpdt

The media didn't force Cathal Crotty to scream homophobic slurs in the street. The media didn't force him to batter a woman until she was unconscious and then boast about it on Snapchat. The media didn't make him a horrific person but judging on your excusing him you did.

Did you know the CEO of Spotify is wealthier than any musician in history—and has 4X the net worth of Paul McCartney? Now you do. There’s more money in disrupting music than creating it.

Update: they have now banned us from speaking Irish (the official language of an EU state) and told us we’re not allowed to be anywhere near the Bundestag
The Berlin police have banned people from speaking languages other than English or German at public events, in a racist attempt to crack down on Arabic. I’ll be at the Bundestag tomorrow using what I can remember of my Leaving Cert Irish to protest this. Join if you can!
