There was a Father Trendy type in the Kildare school but no mysticism unfortunately.

The results are predictable.

This was followed by the tepid Catholicism of a progressive school in a dormitory town in Kildare. No cool meditation practice, no cosmic forces, no role play.

Ok, now I'm sure I missed out! Maybe that's because my secondary schooling was divided into two distinct versions of Irish Catholic education: the first school, run by nuns in a west-of-Ireland, I had a full-on "you'll burn in the fires of hell" experience.

Haha! This is kind of fascinating. I feel like I missed out.

I’m intrigued by the ‘Catholic-themed meditation.’ Never experienced that.

Arrest seems to depend not on their uniformity (of purpose or appearance) but on their political alignment and whether their actions further the interests of the state.

The black-clad men at Dover fit the description of a paramilitary grouping. I learned a lot about how paramilitarism works from this book by Ugur Ümit Üngör. global.oup.com/ukhe/product...

Originally designed to stop "shirted" organisations in the 1930s it was used then against The Blackshirts (BUF), and later the Miners’ Strike, New Age Travellers & public displays by the PIRA in Britain.

Everyone knows this guy is a prick, but imagine being English (and a Brexiteer) and buying a literal castle in Ireland and then telling local Irish people they can't visit their family graves. Imagines telling *any* Irish person they can't visit the family graves! My mother would feckin kill him

Are we going to let one person’s hatred for repeated playings of Teddy Bears Picnic (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, k.72b, 1770) defeat Tony’s Ice Cream Van? No! There are hundreds and thousands of us. And a flake and a sprinkling of nuts, please.

Loved this exhibition at @National Print Museum Dublin. With print ephemera from 1950s and 60s ‘Come Fly with Me: Aviation, tourism and Irish design’ is a rare insight into mid-century Irish graphic design.
