Didn't expect this kind of traction from a reply to @LeoVaradkar's post about KNEECAP's trip to Cuba! I don't necessarily disagree with the spirit of his argument (and I wholeheartedly agree with the 'fair play to KNEECAP' bit), but you can't let the political elite spout this

And finally, a very special National Day reception with Minister Canney and Unification Minister Chung. Somewhat poignant for me, but a wonderful atmosphere amongst friends of Ireland in Korea #StPatricksDay ☘️

Everything should work out fine now that Iran has elected a new Supreme Leader whose parents, wife, and son were all just blown up in US-Israeli airstrikes

You don't have to agree with Jeffrey Sachs, you don't even have to like him but have a bit of respect for a man that had the ears of U.S. presidents (they would have done well to listen to him) as well as dozens of other heads of state and governments.
@BowesChay Jeffrey Sachs eats the likes of David McCullagh for breakfast after schooling world leaders, UN panels, and tougher interviewers than RTE has to offer. That's not to mention years of batting off accusations of being both anti-Western and a Kremlin mouthpiece. First and foremost,

Pitchfork wedding! Michael Flood married Anne Kennedy on Tuesday, the 30th of May 1871, at the Roman Catholic Chapel of Castledermot, just over a month before Jane was born. I know it as the Church of the Assumption, Castledermot, which is where my wife and I were married 144

I don’t know much about Jane’s childhood in the hardship of those post-famine years. The 1901 census shows that she was one of three in a dwelling in the area around Crophill, outside the village of Castledermot. The census lists her age as 27, but her birth cert records 1 July

Poor Jane. I spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about how tough her life must have been. Whose name should be in the place of the abrupt line, filling the blank space in the 'father' column? In 1902, Catholic moral teaching and social and economic pressures meant sex outside

I've been living in Korea for 20 years. The wife and I have been discussing the possibility of moving back to Ireland. Those talks have really made me think about my roots and childhood in Kildare. Particularly, my grandfather, whose story has always been fogged by vague

Zelenskyy brings his begging bowl to Dublin and leaves with pockets bulging. Meanwhile 200,000 families on social housing waiting lists and hundreds of thousands more waiting for hospital appointments.
Zelensky and his wife continue their European tour, meeting Ireland's Prez Connolly All this while a major corruption scandal rocks Kiev, leading to the dismissal of his chief of staff and several top ministers Zelensky still hasn't even chosen replacements for them

Spent the afternoon playing with incredibly cute kids in a council estate in Lucan - teaching relays and javelin, then rugby and footie together. Social worker cycled up, said ‘we have them till they’re 10-12, then the forces of darkness take over’. A masked older teen circled on
