#Foxhunting with hounds and horses was invented in England in the 16 century. It was imported to #Ireland during colonial time. It is NOT an Irish tradition. Contact your TDs today and tell them to vote for a ban on Dec 17th. See sample letter and details in our bio.

If we were all dying of thirst in a desert, and three assholes were hoarding more freshwater than they could drink in 15 million lifetimes, we wouldn’t applaud their work ethic or ingenious gaming of the system. We’d take back our fucking water.

I LOVE walking my dog (and children) around Cabra to look at all the lovely new art 💚
New artwork around Cabra thanks to Áine Macken and Gerry Lee.
They’ve brightened up the boxes with paintings that celebrate our Connecting Cabra projects — bringing colour and creativity into the community.

We know all of Cabra have lovely gardens. But our judges are on the hunt for the most biodiverse garden — one that’s beautiful, but also makes space for nature.
They’ve got notebooks at the ready and the trusty cargo bike on hand. Good luck to all the entrants.
