Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.

A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

Also tbh if you feel you need to react for these to criticise (or insult) Israel when there are so many easy ways to do so, at best your imagination has been deeply stunted by being cooked in an online stew, at worst your motives become incredibly suspect

Once again all it takes to get left wingers to adopt a an antisemitic nazi meme is drawing a very thin line through "Jews" and hastily scribbling "Israel" above it. Your solidarity is being twisted, you are being memed into using their terms, you are being played for absolute fools

Also people, often outsiders or naïve, who are suggesting people just suck it up and let 35 men walk down the road, you are missing a context of decades of marches being deliberately routed through Catholic areas. Causing so much historical violence and contributing to the outbreak of the Troubles.

This is our Justice Minister, seemingly inconvenienced, whose thoughts are with the police. Not with the residents. Not with the grieving mothers. Not with another elected officials attempting to de-escalate. Not for those across the North forced to hold their breath. Happy anniversary though Naomi!

Police in full riot gear are now exiting Land Rovers, so I assume a forced removal is about to happen. The PSNI triggered a mutual aid protocol earlier this week, and obtained 200 additional officers from Police Scotland. What they’re facing are regular civilians peacefully standing on a road.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

The FAI repeatedly told us players would be protected. Yet when a 24 year old acted on his conscience, they left him to stand alone & used a vote among his teammates to validate their own cowardice. This isn’t protecting a young player, it’s protecting themselves at his expense. #StopTheGame

The Oireachtas committee on Sport should urgently examine the behaviour of the FAI in relation to the Israel game more generally and their behaviour today in particular. Absolute hames made of the issue at every turn.

On Sunday, July 12th 1998, Jason (aged 8), Mark (aged 9) and Richard Quinn (aged 10) were killed in their home in Ballmoney when it was petrol-bombed by Loyalists, rioting after the Drumcree parade was banned from travelling the Garvahy Road that year. 3 brutal sectarian murders.

"I would be willing to consider changes, such as changing the flag and anthem and joining the Commonwealth" Now why would you include the Commonwealth in the question but not the headline? And then paywall the article? This is deliberate, misleading, atrocious journalism and abuse of polling data

Even the victims are to blame, it seems. Unbelievably tone deaf from the minister who cancelled the reform of the Road Safety Authority, scuppered the speed limit reform and cancelled the red light camera enforcement pilot.

Road safety minister blames ‘everyone involved’, including road users, for rising death toll
Seán Canney’s remarks come after four deaths at the weekend and as EU ministers gather to discuss road safety

As of Cabinet yesterday, one now needs the ability to communicate in order to be considered a citizen. Yet in the first three months of 2026, not a single child in ten counties was given a plan on how the State would deliver them with speech and language therapy. This week’s column @thejournal.ie:

Gavan Reilly: Six months by law. 24.3 months in reality. Ireland's disability numbers don't add up

The eye-watering numbers of children waiting for Assessment of Need in this country expose a broken system offering little hope to families.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.
