"C'mon, why aren't you hugging your swimming coach ? After all he's done for you. That's just rude."

At least the conversation is happening about the consent of small children. The ad is gone but it got the traction it needed. The debate is happening. So well done @DublinRapeCrisisCentre. Job done.

I’ve been fuming over the response from the “abortion is murder, protect vulnerable children’s lives” men who opposed children being emboldened to have their physical boundaries respected. When adults don’t want to hug (I personally am very non tactile.) it’s a non issue. The hypocrisy is stark

Thread is worth a read. Totally agree Izzy

Seasonal peeve…. Could we all stop saying ‘Holloween’ as in hollow! It’s Halloween as in All hallows eve… #speirghorm 🙄🙄🙄

So I bought a robot window cleaner. Gamechanger! #speirghorm

This poster was due to go up in Dublin - but it was refused by some advertisers as it’s too “politically sensitive”. We may have been censored. We won’t be silenced. Repost this, send it around & spread the word. Go to aodhan.ie/act to sign our petition to SCRAP the EU-Israel trade agreement.

Question for Brazilians in Ireland! Can you recommend a Portuguese-speaking solicitor in Dublin who can help a Deliveroo cyclist make a claim for a collision with a vehicle? (It was 100% the vehicle driver's fault.) He doesn't speak much English. #spéirghorm #speirgorm

Why do companies have a contact form on their websites …’leave your details and we will get back to you ‘ and then it’s like tumbleweed…….Drives me mad. 😡 #Speirghorm

I know the Kinahan arrest is a big deal, but my god, between the live flight tracking yesterday and the lengthy segments about his history since the dawn of time. He isn't the Leaving Cert exams.

Went into our local butcher this morning.The man behind the counter was chatting to every single customer,lovely Dublin banter. Clearly knew most by name. I had a great chat with him. I had forgotten what shopping was like before click and collect and self scanning. Well done Gleesons Blanchardstown

Sitting on a balmy beach with a gin and lemon listening to people in bars cheering on their teams. Then I see three teenage girls walking by giggling. One of them has a camera… not a phone, a proper camera. And they are taking photographs and just loving life. To be young and carefree again….

Dear motor insurance companies,can you give me discounts when I look for quote on line? So many of you follow up with ‘call us now for your discounts ‘. Nope. If I am doing the work to customise my cover, the price quoted should include all available offers. No interest in being on hold forever 🙄

#speirghorm listening to the news and the EU wants less reliance on fossil fuels / imported fuels. I cannot understand why solar panels are not compulsory on all new buildings..homes, apartments, offices shops and schools.

Breaking News: It’s being reported JD Vance and Mike Johnson are so infuriated by trumps vulgar tweet on Easter Sunday they are going to do absolutely nothing.

This bitch is still breathing but I’ll keep posting this every day !!

The only time I have ever wished I was in the USA is today. Come on the people! #NoKings. I am with you in spirit. 🇺🇸

Me on the way to the kitchen in the morning because there´s still two pieces of baklava left...

Never thought I would be so happy to be able to hang out a line of washing, knowing I can ignore it until it’s dry #speirgorm

Good morning. What a sunrise with a yellow horizon and a pink dappled sky. We snatch these views and keep them safe before the rain returns.

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

What is it with young men and not so young men out in shorts and pool shoes in the cold? Why is this a thing ?? Passed two separate fellas sauntering around like that this morning #speirgorm

Today is 2025-12-14, the sun sets at 16:05:45 and the grand auld stretch tonight was 00 mins and 02 secs. #GrandStretch #TheGrandStretchIsBack

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Decided to use public transport tonight. So messy. So unreliable. So infrequent. It’s no bloody wonder people have to use cars. In Any other European city you can hop on and off without thinking and checking. If govt want us out of cars they have to improve this #speirgorm

Makes me want to vomit

Worst thing about Halloween? The ubiquitous mispronunciation of the word. Lads, it’s HAlloween, not Hollow-een.

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

Wouldn’t grocery shopping be a lot less miserable if we didn’t have to do the endless transferring from shelf to trolley to conveyor to trolley to car, from car to kitchen to fridge? Selection to fridge is the dream!

With 72 hours to go until #Aras25 polling opens, a reminder - old, conservative people vote. If you want something different to what they want, you need to do the same, and tell everyone you know to do it too. Make a plan to vote. Make sure others do too. Then go vote. Nothing else matters.

My autumn garden is very pleased with the deluge outside this morning. A day for my book and my knitting ( yep, I am a granny! )

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

Can someone explain to me why, if there is an international arrest warrant for Netanyahu, how can he stand up and make a speech in the UN, surrounded by security and NOT be arrested?

Can we please stop using the word Passed. It’s died. Died. What is so wrong with saying the word?

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.
