Work request:
I am planning some pieces on the reality of being disabled in Ireland.
Among the issues I want to look at are the additional costs/poverty that can come with being disabled. I need to talk to people living this reality, which I know is a big ask, but I feel it is crucial that the voices of those enduring this are heard. I can't do a piece on this without those voices.
If you or anyone you know would be willing to talk to me about this please email on Kitty.Holland@irishtimes.com

In 1917 a foreign-born socialist ran for Mayor of New York City.

Morris Hillquit, born in Latvia, stood on a platform that included opposition to war, economic redistribution and support for a burning global issue: Irish freedom.

Why are certain "journalists" (yes, I'm looking at you, Irish Times) uncritically reporting Maria Steen's repeated assertions that independent candidates have been "blocked" from the presidential ballot.

The current frontrunner is an independent candidate.

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

English Roundabouts

They’re making the roundabouts great again
by painting the flag of St George
to keep our circular road systems safe
from the dark, satanic hordes.

What do they want? Patriotic junctions!
When do they want them? Before it’s too late.
Good old-fashioned English roundabouts,
as decreed by Alfred the Great.

Behold the sacred intersection,
this blessed plot, this septic isle.
English roundabouts for English people,
draped in red and white and bile.

St George is cross, as well he may be –
whipped-up hate, he’s seen before.
Give way to the right, the road signs rage,
and the far right most of all.

Brian Bilston
