Someone’s finally done it - a co-op taxi app, run by the drivers, charging only the meter fare with no commission to gougers. Uber and their ilk only drop fares to shove them sky high again when they’ve killed the competition. Support Irish Co-ops! #SpeirGorm
An ad on the back of a Dublin bus for an app called Tap a Taxi.

A very happy Women’s Little Christmas to all who celebrate 🍾
A black and white photo of two women in 1940s clothing, talking to each other while each holding a stack of wrapped presents. Over is the text: ‘Nollaig na mBan Shona Daoibh’ which, roughly translated from Irish, means ‘Happy Women’s Christmas to you all’.

Surprise!
A headline from the Irish Business Post: “Food brands scoring bumper profits - as price hike misery continues for punters.”

Song of the Sea is deffo where I recognise it from, but I think I also have it mixed up in my head with the dogs from Crystal Tipps and Alastair, and from Jamie and the Magic Torch!
A still from 1970s British cartoon series, Jamie and the Magic Torch. A young boy shines his torch at the floor. Next to him, his dog wears a red hat with a yellow bobble.

Google maps having a very normal one, by suggesting that I get from my location in Whitehall, to another address in Whitehall, by driving in a big loop down to Irishtown in South Dublin and back again…

Finally allowed to say this now but I, for one, welcome our new corporate overlords to Fair City - and not just because they sent cake to the Story Room! Class acts, Lidl #SpeirGorm #IrishBlueSky

Just found this phone on the 16 bus heading into town. I’ll hand it in to the driver, so contact Dublin Bus if this is yours! #SpeirGorm #Dublin #DublinBus

Got this from my American cousin today - my heart is breaking
The screenshotted text reads: They're already starting the process to erase my marriage. I was a fool to think perhaps I'd have more time. Im glad I got the kids passports done at least, but I didn't finish the adoption paperwork for them (a lawyer said I'll need it since I'm not the biological Mom) or the Irish Citizenship paperwork (I still need my gram's name change docs). These past 4 days have already felt like 4 years

The sad Oompa Loompa girl from last years news story about a Willy Wonka themed attraction gone wrong. In a green wig and with orange body paint, she looks glumly over a table of pseudo scientific equipment.

Every time I see ‘BSky’, my brain goes to this:
A BSB (latterly B Sky B) Squarial satellite dish, fixed to an exterior wall.
