Kilkenny Arts Festival Director, political junkie of no party, suspicious optimist, feminist.
Joined March 2011
Now list all the Republicans that previously said Trump was a ‘bigot’ ‘a con artist’ ‘heroin’ - L Graham, M Rubio, JD Vance - who now treat him like a god. Maybe conservative software is better? Honestly, when you tweet this stuff I just really want to find out who funds Iona🤷♀️
It's almost like liberals wake up every day with a new software update downloaded to their brains. Biden is as sharp as a tack. No. he's doddery and must resign. Kamala would be a bad candidate. No, she is like something sent down from heaven.

I’ve always thought Iceland was proper cool, with their Björk, Sigur Rós, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ólafar Arnalds, FM Belfast… and now they have Barbara Hannigan for their Symphony Orchestra too 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Known especially for her performances of avant-garde music during which she often sings and conducts, she'll begin her tenure with the ISO in August 2026.

This is really very poor click bait from @irishexaminer - the article itself has a correction- it was three staff and one advisor. I’m for competent/careful use of public money,but the idea that a Govt Minister should not have staff at a key international event is just nonsense.
