Historian (Irish revolution(s)), Bohemian in every sense but especially FC. Still donning that cape, tilting at windmills and fighting injustice.

There has never been a more important time to elect a President who will be independent of Government.

A President who will speak out when it is required. In this election Catherine Connolly is that person.

Vótáil #1 Catherine Connolly on October 24.

So many people voted NO in those referenda that they had to present them to the electorate again and again.

Does any TD or councillor fund their own trips? Last time I checked TDs don't even fund their own trips into work. #TonightVMTV

#TonightVMTV The other half has removed all heavy objects from within throwing distance of the TV. Alan Shatter is on. 😡

Wondering why CC is interrupted each time she clarifies a point made. 🤷

This TV3 presenter is gunning for our next President !

Absolutely farcical. #Áras25

I expect that this will backfire spectacularly on HH. Voters are not stupid and can easily see that HH's campaign is devoid of any substance. She's filling that vacuum with misdirection and smears. In contrast CC's integrity shines through. #Aras25 #Áras25

Listening to this debate and Humphries has no substance whatsoever. Only carefully rehearsed attack lines from Fine Gael. Mar is gná with them. But she has absolutely nothing to offer in any sense of herself.

MDH prediction from 2023:

“You know, in a couple of years’ time people will be able to resolve this issue themselves, in relation to whether they want a silent person, a puppet, or whether they want a president.”

- President Michael D. Higgins

Catherine Connolly once suggested "we all split the bill evenly" at a restaurant when she clearly had one more glass of wine than me.

And let's not even mention the ransacking of the complementary prawn crackers.

If you want the best laughs today, read #SmeartheBejaysis tag.
( context for non-Irish folks: A ghastly politicians said his tactics to destroy socialist Catherine Connolly's presidential campaign would be to 'smear the bejaysis out of her- you'll see how people approach mockery here )

@slated.bsky.social Still deeply, madly, truly in love with my #SLATED tableware. Boycotting Ama*on to support small Irish businesses like this. Doesn't look like the government shows much interest in them. 🤷

Spoke with TD Barry Heneghan on the #EchoChamberPod who was onboard the Thousand Madleens to Gaza Flotilla yesterday just as they were entering the “red zone.” A few hours later he was abducted by Israeli forces in international waters alongside the rest of his humanitarian crew.

The reason Israel thinks it can get away with everything is because Israel gets away with everything. Sanctions now. Pass the Occupied Territories Bill. Kick them out of FIFA, UEFA and IOC.

If the Gardaí's Pulse system shows who the last person was to access a particular record/entry wouldn't the identity of the 'leaker' be known? Yet... Tumbleweed.

Have written to both my party TDs and local TDs asking them to submit a parliamentary question on the matter. I really think we cannot let this go.

I shall be moaning a lot today. You have been warned.

The VAT rate reduction for hospitality is nonsense.

McDonalds will get a reduced VAT rate whilst we pay 23%.

I repeat 23%.

Nearly a quarter of our product price is VAT.

All SMEs are struggling with costs, not just hospitality.

If Fionnán Sheehan and Mary Regan's story in today's Irish Indo is correct, Micheál Martin was untruthful on RTE Six One news yesterday. Put simply, he lied. #Aras25 #Speirgorm
