Brave brave woman. So thrilled for her that she has been vindicated. Fuck Conor McGregor forever

Oh Jesus the clocks thing! Is that tonight?!

This is desperate housewife post now, sorry, but do you know what's a pain in the hole? Hoovering small mats/rugs/bathmats in the house. The fuck is up with that? They just get sucked up! You can't hoover them at all, you've to stand on one edge and reef the hoover over the other side. Loada shite.

What kind of statement is it to make that actually the views of the government are that kids CAN be touched without their consent?

I am concerned that the minister for justice is thick

Maybe Arnotts shouldn't employee security guards to beat shoplifters to death? Totally lowers the tone of the area tbh.

Regeneration shouldn’t mean hiding poor people.

I am wary of most male comedians, particularly if they're lefty, as they usually end up letting the mask slip and showing their misogyny; it is ENTIRELY normal and manly to go to counselling or therapy and Arnotts can get in the fucking BIN. There now, my opinion on the issues of the day! #speirgorm

Tons of support for the strikers in Dublin City centre today. A very hopeful atmosphere and a lot of solidarity to be seen.

As a member of the public, I support striking workers today. Public sector workers are woefully undervalued, and I thought we learned that lesson during the COVID lockdowns, but apparently we need a reminder. I want workers to be paid fairly for the valuable services they provide. Yup the unions!

Massive pickets at Tallaght Hospital and South Dublin County Council this morning. The support from the public is overwhelming. If the government thinks it can divide private and public sector workers, they should think again. A win for public sector workers is a win for all. #JoinAUnion

Up the workers! There’s a picket line around the corner from the shop and the sounds of whistles and honking warms my heart!

"We can't just throw public money at nurses and teachers willy nilly," The Minister for Public Expenditure has said in a statement. "They're not data centres, race tracks, angry people with tractors, Mark Zuckerberg, the NFL..."

Margaret Skinnider, revolutionary woman, committed trade unionist, President of the INTO in 1956. Said that the first thing any women should do, on getting a job, is join a union - she joined the INTO the day she got her teaching post. She’d be on the picket line today. #uptheworkers

We feed on the honks. The honks nourish us. #strike #speirgorm

Lots of beeps and waves and cheers of support from the public this morning on the picket line outside my husband's school in Kildare. Great to see! (Also though, Minister Chambers, public sector workers are also the public who pay taxes, kthankxbye) #UpTheWorkers #Strike #speirgorm

Whatever happened to the Information Super Highway? Do you remember calling it that? God we were nerds.

Getting our strike arts and crafts on! (Don't slag, I never said I was Picasso!) #Speirgorm #UpTheWorkers #UpTheTeachers #UpTheNurses #UpTheSNAs #NothingRhymesWithNaughton

Former swimming coach George Gibney has been sentenced to 15-and-a-half years in prison for sexually abusing four girls in the 1970s and 1980s. The 78-year-old was convicted of 39 counts of indecent assault and one count of attempted rape following a two-week trial at the Central Criminal Court.

Working on some chants and protest signs for Wednesday's strike and listen, nothing rhymes with Hildegarde Naughton. #speirgorm #UpTheWorkers #UpTheNurses #UpTheTeachers #UpTheSNAs

The Tesco delivery man said 'Have a good day' as he was leaving. I tried to say 'you have a good day too' and 'thank you' at the same time and ended up saying 'good you good!' brightly and loudly as he was walking down the drive. Good you good. GOOD YOU GOOD! So anyway, good you good to you all.

I'm very very sorry. This is going to be a disappointment to a lot of you. But I have, in fact, put the heating on. I cannot apologise enough. #speirgorm

RIGHT! Are we putting on the heating, are we? #speirgorm

Giant Strawbs are elite, I will hear nothing against them. #speirgorm #MunchieBowl

Sent my kid to the shop for loo roll. I wrote the brand and then (4) so he'd know to get a four-pack. He came home with four packs of nine rolls each. They won't go to waste in this IBD household but am set for a while! (Tbf, I could have been clearer) #parenting #speirgorm

you know when the idea for a tweet comes to you nine years too late? like my brain, unbidden, just produced the thought “an indecisive Irish judge called Ruth B’fhéidir Ginsberg”. or maybe I did tweet it at the time. nothing matters anyway.

You know when you come across fitness influencers/trainers on your FYP and they start laying out bags of crisps and choc and cakes and saying 'You'd have to eat ALL this to gain 1lb of fat' like it's an unfathomable amount of goodies and you think ... baby girl, that's just a Tuesday? Just me?!

You probably already know this - I'm usually 3 - 5 business years behind everyone else - but if you take a beta blocker like Bisop, you shouldn't take it with orange juice in the morning, affects the absorption. Wait two hours to have the OJ. There you go now! #speirgorm

Thrilled. These two assholes, the cheek of them.

How desperate are the DUP to try - 28 years later - to refight a battle that even they should have consigned to history? Drumcree was one of those awful times that it is extremely triggering for all of us to have to revisit. It can benefit no one, least of all unionism, to do that.

This is desperate. The poor kids.

Fucking scab

This is why it's not 'just football.' 'Politics has no place in sport' is a really convenient line if you're actively engaging in genocide and would rather the world didn't discuss it. Israel are well aware of the power of sportswashing. They're usually just too shit to take advantage of it.

Over 36mm of rain in Carlow Town and some flooding now.

Ireland - The 15th March for Choice, organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign, highlighted the barriers women still face in accessing abortion care in Ireland. Organizers called for the removal of the 3-day waiting requirement.

And I have no doubt that whatever happens it will be reported that locals should have risen above it and swallowed their pride once again to keep the peace, not that orange supremacists shouldn't have forced their gloating on a community that didn't want it imposed on them

Have been cutting the players some slack cos they don't run the FAI, they're not in Government, but this changes things. Whoever this absolute cunt was needs a good kick up the hole. #StopTheGame

Oh the plot thickens! This is bloody disgraceful how Bazunu has been treated. #StopTheGame

"..my personal belief that the killing of innocent people is wrong" The fact that this isn't the personal, professional, international, and universal opinion across the world shows how much of a farce our institutions & govs really are when tested. Well done Gavin Bazunu. #StopTheGame

I'm actually really annoyed now. God we're so complicit, as a country. Our Government is so weak on Palestine, still haven't passed the Occupied Territories Bill, still haven't officially expelled the ambassador, now we're still engaging with them internationally in sport. No. It's not right.
