Question for Brazilians in Ireland! Can you recommend a Portuguese-speaking solicitor in Dublin who can help a Deliveroo cyclist make a claim for a collision with a vehicle? (It was 100% the vehicle driver's fault.) He doesn't speak much English. #spéirghorm #speirgorm

Why do companies have a contact form on their websites …’leave your details and we will get back to you ‘ and then it’s like tumbleweed…….Drives me mad. 😡 #Speirghorm

Agree! You can’t buy a thing without making an account. You can’t access a service without an app. Drives me insane. Wasn’t the analogue world delightfully simple?

I know the Kinahan arrest is a big deal, but my god, between the live flight tracking yesterday and the lengthy segments about his history since the dawn of time. He isn't the Leaving Cert exams.

Went into our local butcher this morning.The man behind the counter was chatting to every single customer,lovely Dublin banter. Clearly knew most by name. I had a great chat with him. I had forgotten what shopping was like before click and collect and self scanning. Well done Gleesons Blanchardstown

Sitting on a balmy beach with a gin and lemon listening to people in bars cheering on their teams. Then I see three teenage girls walking by giggling. One of them has a camera… not a phone, a proper camera. And they are taking photographs and just loving life. To be young and carefree again….

There are people all across Belfast helping relocate people, get them food, clothes, meds and more. You will likely never hear about them on the news. But they are many. And *they* are Belfast.

Read everything I could hoover up. Mostly with flashlight under the covers, my sister beside me. A little book club. Took out three each week then we swapped them between us. Pocket money spent on batteries for torches. 🙂

Dear motor insurance companies,can you give me discounts when I look for quote on line? So many of you follow up with ‘call us now for your discounts ‘. Nope. If I am doing the work to customise my cover, the price quoted should include all available offers. No interest in being on hold forever 🙄

#speirghorm listening to the news and the EU wants less reliance on fossil fuels / imported fuels. I cannot understand why solar panels are not compulsory on all new buildings..homes, apartments, offices shops and schools.

I again, repeating myself, ad infinitum, still do not understand how Trump mocking a disabled reporter on camera at a rally in I dunno, 2015 wasn't enough of a red flag to get him cancelled by the media permanently and have his Apprentice shows taken off the air It should have ended RIGHT THERE.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

With the weather we have in Ireland, I can’t understand why we don’t have proper rain shelters at bus stops and train stations. Simple things might encourage people to use public transport.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
