Fianna Fáil Victory Dance in Ballyfermot in 1957

Not good, can imagine in Referendums especially loads of bad faith actors will be putting up all sorts of lies and drivel.

Only the LOI could have a three-way tie end with the reigning champs retain with one to spare. Congrats @electionlit.bsky.social and all of Shamrock Rovers. Deserving champions. #LOI

Sticker to mark 20 years of The Republican Socialist Youth Movement, the youth wing of the IRSP.

From ‘Days of Blue Loyalty’ p. 26. The reason was simply that FG couldn’t find credible candidates in the other four constituencies (the source cited is John Whyte’s book Church and State in Modern Ireland). FG was rescued from possible oblivion by getting into government after 1948 election.

FG only stood in Clare where the by-election was caused by the death of oa FG TD Even with no Lab candidate they didn’t stand in Mayo South or Kerry South It wasn’t a general party policy though. They stood in Cork Borough in 1946, a by-election caused by an Independent (albeit FG gene pool)

An unusual leaflet, Bilingual with the candidates name Séamus Cosaí Mac Gearailt on one side agus as bearla Séamus Cosaí Fitzgerald on the other. Wonder what name was on the ballot paper?

There were 5 by-elections held on the 4th of December 1945. None of them had a Fine Gael or a Labour candidate running against each other. Was there some kind of electoral pact between Fine Gael and Labour, giving the other party a free run?

does anyone know an expert on Irish Myths and legends I could speak to in an interview #SpeirGhorm

A Belfast split from The Belfast CYM (who accused the splitters of being a "Maoist tendency"). They also seem to be an "adult" grouping as the Connolly Youth Movement's split with the CPI meant no default path for ex-youths.

The EU continues to support Israel.

#speirgorm - de we know anyone involved in local politics/services who might be able to help a Swedish woman in acute need in the Rosslare area? She moved to Ireland over the weekend but her accommodation turned out to be a bluff, deposit and rent gone, she needs somewhere to stay urgently.

I strongly condemn the unwashed laundry in my laundry basket. I strongly condemn the soup stain on the kitchen floor. I strongly condemn the dirty dishes... Weird. It didn't get those chores done. Condemning shit is not action. It achieves *nothing*. It's a meaningless substitute for action.

Feel terribly sorry for Patrick O'Donovan and hopefully he recovers fully. As an epileptic myself, aside from medication, simple stuff helps like getting a good night's sleep, eating regularly, not overly exerting yourself and drinking in moderation or not at all.

Is that a typo and should be Mrs Connolly, widow of James?
