I appreciate hearing everyone try to express the devastation of Chadwick Boseman's death, because the unbelievable shock of it paired with the new meaning of the defiance in his performances is basically beyond articulation.

Chadwick Boseman out here literally dying in front of us is a HUGE reminder that we never know what battles people are fighting. You don't know what's killing a person. Be kind. Offer grace. Be gentle. Love freely.

There’s a disused building near my house in Harold’s Cross that’s set to be redeveloped. I was assuming apartments and maybe some mixed-use retail space. Nope.

It’s a 174-bedroom 'co-living' complex. I just had a look at the plans. Judge for yourself. 1/

Wow. An unexpected win for Climate Case Ireland at the Supreme Court.

RIGHT THAT'S IT ....A thread on why we need to postpone the St. Patrick's Day Parades

I am supporting our doctors and epidemiologists, like ProfJohnCrown and Prof Sam McConkey and others who have called on the Government to to postpone the #StPatricksDayParade NOW... 1/6

Excellent, thought provoking thread for us all to reflect on, not just parents:

Safe Passage (a thread)

In 2017 a decommissioned Irish Navy ship, the LE Aisling, was sold by public auction to a private buyer. One year later it was re-sold, at over six times the price for which it was bought, to the Libyan Navy, and re-named Al Karama (which means Dignity).

Public spending rising is not bad.
Public spending did not cause the financial crisis.

I'm on the train to Cork. The ticket cost €62 return, purchased two weeks in advance. It would be cheaper for me to drive down in my little car. This is what is wrong with public transport in this country. It should always be cheaper to take public transport.

Public Service Announcement to all people outside Ireland! The native language in Ireland is called.... Irish. As in, “Did you finish your Irish homework?”, “what time is the Irish exam?” And “Oh look, all signs are in both English and Irish.”
Please stop calling it Gaelic!

Corden: Do you need the lyrics?
Anthony Ramos: Uh...NAH.
