Just a reminder that when the allied forces advanced into Europe, Nazis burned the bodies and buried the bones of the dead to remove the evidence of genocide Israel will do the same, undoubtedly, and we’ll have to stop it before it’s happening

The gambling addiction and dead dog factory that is greyhound racing is the lifeblood of rural Ireland no doubt

In Ireland State Funding for Greyhound Racing is incredibly high. Today was the budget and their Funding increased. Greyhound Racing has a lot of political influence as opposed to sports like Football or Boxing that don't.

This iconic photo of Bertie Ahern in the Tolka flood waters in 2002, was taken by Colin Keegan, who died in traffic collision last Saturday. Colin was kind enough to let us use the photo for free in the first postcard campaign I ran in @foeireland.bsky.social in 2005. May he rest in peace.

Eamonn McCann is always razor sharp in his analysis of the North. Garvagh road is not a difference between ‘two communities’ that needs ‘both sides’ understood. It only benefits the DUP and hardline loyalists to force us to revisit a terrible time in the North. rebelnews.ie/2026/10/02/g...

My Mam was telling me that in Cavan in the 40's and 50's there wasn't much fresh fish for a Friday, so my Granny made a concoction called "Egg Cutlets" You'd get a load of hard boiled eggs, mash them up, make bechemal sauce and mix the two together. Shape and leave to go cold. ......

I put in 4 entries into a local camera club print competition (they were for public exhibition in Waterford today). I won the damn thing! (Won the Intermediate category: all 4 shots got top marks). I'm flabbergasted & delighted, and I am getting a medal for winning!

Anyone know anything about The Governments My First Home scheme? That it's open to non EU citizens and it's hard for some countries to check if applicants for the Irish scheme already own properties in other jurisdictions.

Have been amazed that the FF flagship on that is the "Shared Island " initiative, which is a good thing but only a tiny part of the jigsaw. FF especially seem scared to do Unity things as that's "Sinn Féins thing".

Yes, what an opportunity they have to get direct investment, shout from the rooftops about having access to the UK and EU markets. Instead they got hung up on the Irish Sea Border. Plus their Reform buddies in the UK are on the slide, their hero Trump calling for a United Ireland too!

Among the teaching profession there's a lot pissed off that the "Croke Park hours" invented during Austerity is still a thing. As if teachers just teach, don't correct homework and exams ,look after teams, debating, school plays , deal with parents etc...

Always funny when people get pissy about, of all things, *work to rule*. They are still doing their jobs, to the letter of the law in fact. That is causing problems is a serious indictment of how much extra people are expected to do in their job.

The Politics of Lundyism has got them nowhere in recent times. Disengaged and disenfranchised a large cohort of "Unionists" . They're going to have to sell a positive version and vision of what the Union is pretty soon and the leadership is ill equipped to do that.

I was onto a Unionist collector friend who is dismayed by it. Can't understand resurrecting something so destabilising. They get this and then what's next? People want Peace and a real Government running the place properly. It's so obviously a ploy to distract from Donaldson.

They're under threat of a partial stadium ban, so this is probably the only thing they have that doesn't break any rules. It's a pity as them v Waterford is such an intriguing Cup Semi Final.
