What's with suburban chippers closing before 'Closing Time' ? When did it start? Used to be a big link between people coming out of the pub to the chipper.

If anyone sees this (exact) product in a shop anywhere on the island of Ireland, can you please let me know?
It's been discontinued (apparently temporarily), then allegedly returned, but is nowhere to be found. There have been sightings, but none by me, and I'm *desperate*.

During the Presidential campaign a question came into the WhatsApp group. "Is Catherine Connolly married?", someone had been asked this when canvassing. These days candidates tend not to share too much personal details in their material or indeed online. That wasn't always the case.... #speirgorm

From the 1987 General Election a Leaflet for Helena McAuliffe-Ennis and Dan O’Sullivan who were running for The Progressive Democrats in Longford Westmeath. McAuliffe-Ennis was important to the PDs as she was the only Labour Parliamentary Party member to join them after they had been set up.

I’m really sick of people posting this. Anyone with children knows it’s nonsense.
Charity shops almost never take soft toys for hygiene reasons, and they aren’t allowed to take electronics.
This only applies to *brand new toys still in the box*.

AE MAK returns with stripped-back voice-centred work 'We Came From Stars' | Nialler9
There has been a sense of an artist recalibrating after a few years of high-energy alternative hook-filled songs before that, and a new body of work is coming

Yes, Lebanon just keeps misplacing its peace. How careless of it. It needs to keep its peace in a safe place so this doesn't keep happening.

If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
I would rather 50 people got benefits they didn't need than 1 went without food or shelter.
Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.
I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.
