New Gist: What if On the Irish Government’s incoherent and shameful plan to make it harder for brown and black people to get Irish passports. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-wha...
thegist.ie
And this is what we want to dissuade?
And all because of the tiny number of men (overwhelmingly) who are assembling crowds of baying shop dummies, screaming that they are The Master's Voice. All of them demanding hostility first and reasoning not at all when it comes to anyone, Irish born or not, who might have a complexion darker than that of a peeled potato.
In fact, for this army of mannequins and their dummy owners, to be Black and to be Irish is the greatest affront and standing refutation of their abject racism.

I imagine if one single Irish footballer stands up and says he won't play, the rest will follow. Will only take one. Where's the one?

I'm once again trying out "vertical tabs" in my browser. It feels bad and wrong! But the thing is that while Microsoft introduced this as a new feature for its browser, they took away the ability to do that with the toolbar in Windows 11, where it's *clearly* the most efficient way of working!

It's eight years tomorrow since we posted on Twitter that Sting had been in to return his books.
A shelf on the book return trolley. The titles of the five books are Every Breath You Take, Every Move You Make, The Bonds That Break, Every Step You Take and I Am Watching You.

"The Death of Robin Hood" kinda really does have a spoiler in the title, in fairness, but yeah... that was quite a bleak take on the legend. Very well told, though. Recommended... but bleak.

The fine for riding an e-scooter without a hi-viz vest, so that a careless motorist *might* see you (€100), will be higher than the fine for the same motorists if a Garda stops them for driving carelessly (€80). 🤷‍♂️

#TarbhsHiberno-EnglishDictionary. #1 in an occasional series. Cycle-path: 1) A path separated from the road, ostensibly reserved for cyclists. 2) Paint, on the road. 3) A place to put communications & drainage infrastructure - i.e., all of the grates and access hatches. 4) Parking for motorists.
Photo showing a segregated cycle path next to a school. To the left is a footpath, to the right is a bus lane, then a traffic lane. The cycle path is slightly elevated from the bus lane by a kerb. Six cars are visible, all parked fully on the cycle path. The nearest car is an "Airport School of Motoring" driving school car.

In the local park where I’m currently walking, a dog has just grabbed a random person’s umbrella and run off with it. The umbrella owner, the dog’s owners and a load of kids have given chase, and it’s the closest I’ll get to seeing a dog with a string of sausages being chased by a butcher isn’t it?

Since this thread is taking off, I'll add a story told to me by a retired social worker whose responsibility was the Tuam area in the 1960s & 1970s. In his first month on the job he was called out to see a young woman who 'wouldn't come out of a haybarn' & had a newborn in there with her.

I attended the unveiling of a memorial to the dead women & children of Sean Ross Abbey where 1,090 "illegitimate children" died over a 37-year period, many of malnutrition. The nuns still own the land so their permission had to be sought to erect a memorial to their victims. This is Ireland in 2026.
A bearded man stands next to a headstone which says "For those who think of them today, a little prayer to Jesus say - Dedicated to the Mothers and Babies who died in Sean Ross Abbey 1931-1969"Two women stand and look at the memorialA large crowd of people, some holding flowers, watching the unveilingA small group of Mother & Baby Home survivors and activists stand by the memorial

Ok, here's a Sunday scary for you - did you know that in every county in Ireland, women are earning less? I've categorised the company pay gap reports by location, and everywhere has a mean pay gap in favour of men, and almost everywhere a median pay gap in favour of men.
