I'm really enjoying Donal Fallon's latest book. The poignancy of the Andy Sheridan shot of the inside of The Welcome Inn is like an Edward Hopper painting . It's a wonderful read 📚.

No new money for nature restoration, a static heritage budget and nothing meaningful to fix our rivers, lakes and estuaries.

My response to heritage, nature, water measures in the FFG/Ind. first budget. #budget26

This looks like it might be a great evening. Remembering The Underground on Dame Street.

document 8 - we go again - Hope Collective

There will be chats about the underground gigs and how people are still creating things along with some music being played. It’s not a re-union but more of a rekindling

Tonight in Whelans, running order, subject to tantrums and artistic differences 😊.

For me , Stina Nordenstam's " And she closed her eyes " album is one of the greatest recorded examples of absolute art in the form of music that exists . There seems nothing from the first note to the last that seems pre planned or contrived. It is an absolute triumph.

Quite the thread . Informative and factual .

Minister for Housing on @rteradio1.bsky.social

“if there was even a small profit people should be building apartments”

“it’s not a measure to make apartments affordable”

Property lobbying narratives are being adopted as housing policy with no transparency, no evidence & no independent analysis

I was one of the leaders of Scrap The Green Paper because I & my friends were suicidal after learning proposals for ~84% of disabled to be pushed into work

I've not recovered from pushing myself to fight it, nor my friends

I'm so broken & Humphreys wants a house in the park on our backs
