Yesterday was a bad day for nature as virtually no new funding was announced. The guessing and uncertainty as how Ireland's Nature Restoration Plan is to be funded goes on. www.irishtimes.com/your-money/2...

A story in alt text.

Inciting incident: A large confused orange spaniel discovers the love of his life, a tabby cat, asleep on a pile of blankets, on a bed.

Dramatic tension: The spaniel looms affectionately over the cat, who has just opened bright green eyes

Crisis/resolution: the spaniel immediately remembers the cat is the scariest creature he knows and il fiche le camp tout suite. All the cat has done is raise his head and Disapprove.

Fin: The cat, with ears set to reverse disapproval, relishes his solitude.

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 Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Don't really think Ireland as a whole deserves a pat on the back for the work of some artists, activists, and the people who pressure and protest, when our government watered down the OTB, the GAA refuses to drop Israeli weapon insurer Allianz, and the FAI is happy to play Israel without Irish fans

A Dublin #painting. "Ormond Quay" is the quay I've painted most of those in our capital city. Like all of my paintings of the quays it came out of a lifetime of walks along both sides of the Liffey, combined with a love of squares and rectangles. One of my happiest places. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

Panorama format in painterly acrylics on board with uneven right edge where board was crudely broken rather than cut. Painting shows front view of a terrace of 13 buildings from directly across the River Liffey. Buildings are red-brick, 4 or 5 storeys high and mostly narrow being 2 or 3 window bays wide, and with shop fronts at street level or a Georgian door with a fanlight. They are in various shades of orange, yellow, red and pink, with one at left end painted white, and most topped with a grey cap stone. Roofs are dark blue or purple slate caps punctuated by chimneys of red brick. Sky is pure flat blue. Bottom half of painting is river, in short criss-crossing diagonal rippling strokes reflecting the colours of the buildings. Separating the water from the street is a dark wine river wall topped with white railings of a boardwalk. Signed bottom right in dark blue, Liam Daly

Rewilding isn't a side project of the climate fight. It is the fight. This great man makes the case plainly: "the rewilding of the world will suck enormous amounts of carbon from the air and lock it away in expanding wilderness.” That's not a hope, it's an observed pattern across ecosystems.

From District Magazine. Grim.

Screenshot from District Magazine's Instagram post that reads "District.

In the Kerry Gaeltacht in August 2024, there were 543 properties listed on Airbnb and not a single house available to rent on Daft.ie at the same time.

Kerry has 30 short-term lets for every one long-term rental, this was the worst ratio in Ireland, according to renter charity Threshold.

Rents in Kerry rose 10.1% in the year to Q1 2025, almost double the national average of 5.5%."
