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.

If it was live, I think you're thinking of Counihane's around the corner - there was a live string quartet playing in there downstairs, at least there was in the early 90s... The owner of the Hi-B across the road was also a huge classical music fan. I used to busk outside Ginos in the 90s

For me, the national team having played v Israel will mean these two stories are forever linked. One after the other on the RTE news app... I hope it's not a coincidence!
A photo of two stories in the RTE news app. The first: "World cup playoff: Kazakhstan v Republic of Ireland", the second, just below, "Life in Gaza still 'absolutely horrendous' - UN official"

Would like to see a journalist ask the 7 of Ireland's 14 MEPs (3 FG, 3 FF, 1 II) who just voted to: -endorse burqa bans -call "hatred of Israel" a sign of "Islamist influence" -identify European Muslim communities as potential tools of "malign foreign actors" to justify themselves
Believes that the practice of concealing the face in public spaces and premises open to the public poses an unacceptable challenge to public security, identification and effective law enforcement; supports, therefore, all national measures aimed at prohibiting full-face coverings (niqab or burqa) in public spaces and premises open to the public as a necessary step to ensure social cohesion, public safety and the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, in particular womenwhereas separatist narratives, systematic victimhood, antisemitism, anti-Christian hatred, hatred of Israel, conspiracy narratives, challenges to secularism, the use of religion as a tool of social control or the contestation of equality between women and men may constitute markers of ideological radicalisation or Islamist influence;whereas the ongoing investigations into suspected electoral fraud in Borlänge and Järva, Sweden, illustrate the particular vulnerability of diaspora communities to organised attempts at electoral influence; whereas such vulnerabilities may be exploited by malign foreign actors or transnational ideological networks pursuing covert agendas

No Irish dog has ever gotten loose and chased a rabbit through a neighbour's paddock. No Irish teenager has ever been caught smoking behind the stand of the hurling paddock. The term you're looking for is either FIELD or PITCH. Training ground, ok, if you've got notions. Fucking paddock.

Why the sudden explosion of the term 'Training Paddock' in Irish rugby media?? It's fucking infuriating. We're Irish. We do NOT and have, and have NEVER HAD, training paddocks.

Aontú voting with the government to extend the so-called Help To Buy scheme which is really a Help to Profit scheme for developers. All the research shows that this just pushes up property prices to the benefit of developers. Instead we should build social and affordable homes.

We need to use the huge surpluses we have to diversify and invest massively in public services and improving people's lives. We need to get rid of this government of the rich. We need a left government that will implement ecosocialist policies and break us away from this corporate tax haven model.

Given the use of the term ha'penny, I'm guessing this fess might be from pre '69, and this may not have gone down well. Writer, this was an (adorable) act of love from a child, and you should have been made feel proud of it. No need to confess!
