It’s really depressing that a group of students in a cork school have had to protest against the racism they are encountering in school. Well done for speaking up

I was walking down Grafton st in Dublin, a well known highly populated shopping thoroughfare. News broke on a big screen outside a pub showing sky news. Everybody stopped, in silence, and sang God Save the queen, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. She was our Tupac, our Fungi 💔
A woman lying dead & undiscovered for 4 days in a Direct Provision centre?
I’m worried that our sudden empathy for refugees might only last a few news cycles.
If we can (justifiably) open our borders overnight how come this system lasts for years & years & years?
All jokes aside; it’s a shame that so many people associate clubbing with Coppers or late bars as a whole
It’s time to differentiate this with the cultural impact of actual nightclubs & the eco-system surrounding it. Change the licensing & put us on a par with rest of Europe

It’s crazy that people always blame the victims of sexual assault & harassment rather than the creeps who perpetuate it
You’ll literally say anything to discredit them
There’s no ifs & buts here
Hawre of the Istanbul kebab shop and pizza amore has been handing out free pizzas to people on the street & also delivered to the staff of CUH. Today he visits Marymount ❤️
Very sad news about Sinead. Not only was she one of our most original talents, she was always standing up for hip-hop & reggae too & worked prolifically in these fields with the greats in an authentic & heartfelt way. May she rest in peace
The Israeli ambassador live on Pat Kenny admitting that they are killing kids in schools and hospital “but it’s legal”
Can’t believe we are watching this in real time
Ross Lahive confronted the Lord Mayor of Cork today. He was ranting and raving about being assaulted.
Ross Lahive clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Who knew, the Lord Mayor of Cork was quite the Tenor, he gave Ross a rendition of 'Beautiful Morning'.
Shout outs to the Debenhams workers in cork who despite losing their jobs (& contining their own long fight for fair redundancy) have donated money meant for their summer barbecue to

It’s obviously killing 90% of my work but the pubs & clubs need to close immediately imo I think after Thursday mornings announcement this was imperative. Losing work is better than losing lives
EVERYBODY DANCE is a platform I’ve set up for parties that involve groups who are often excluded from social events for various reasons
They include DJ shows for adults with intellectual disabilities in Clonakilty coaction & ive started doing parties for Down Syndrome cork too
Now that everyone’s feeling extra strong about racism, it might be time for us irish people to get the whole direct provision fiasco on the agenda properly.
Next week irish Twitter will have moved back on to debating about people driving too far to beaches. The cycle is fast
Ok this is a long shot. And I hate to be that guy. But I want to do some live dj sets & parties on YouTube & I need to get 1000 subscribers to use it on my mobile. I’ve practically none atm I’ve never used it. Can you subscribe? Obviously it’s all free!
Powerful stuff. The face of the “faceless”, who are often degraded to being statistics who sleep In our doorways or in tents but are just as important and sometimes more colourful than you and I. RIP Tim
I was doing a property shoot in Cork City last Thur. A man stopped and started posing. An inoffensive, humorous guy, full of fun. I took his snap and he was delighted. His name was Tim Hourihane, from Bantry. He was murdered on Saturday night. RIP.

Eminem is a great MC but his catalogue sounded dated even at the time. Got tons of people into rap as you can see by the “never heard of 3 songs by Jay z” type replies in the comments, by the kind of people who think this is something to boast about. In reality, Jay Z well clear
Found a load of old videos on a harddrive. Sidestage at Oxegen 2011 in a show that horrified Beyoncé’s people backstage, it’s
