Edited anonymously by Bulmer Hobson, the 1932 Saorstát Éireann (Irish Free State) Handbook was a thing of beauty, intended as both a publicity campaign for the new state and a celebration of a decade of Independence.

I wish we were better to refugees because they're human beings and it's the right thing to do.
If we purely going to be transactional about it though we need to be better to refugees because our grandchildren, if not our children, will be climate refugees trying to escape an unlivable Ireland.

Worst Micheal Collins ever.
The Big Prick Fella
Michael Collins told TII last week that they should prioritise roads where there's no light rail... does he mean, nearly everywhere in the country? That's where there's no light rail.

He's such a populist.

Late to this, excellent piece and factual rebuttal of John Collison’s ‘how to get Ireland moving’ by @andrewlrjackson.bsky.social

we should never take democracy or the rule of law for granted – they must be nurtured and defended by each generation…

Just listened to David McWilliams pod ep from last Mon about the Irish left being anti-American. I'm not well after it.

He gives out about conflation of opinions but thinks "the Presidental Left" are all Mick Wallace Maoists that use Climate Change as a pro-communism front against our US BFFs.

Eventually, long after it is needed and that need is clear to everyone, Ireland will switch to competing with other EU countries to attract migrants to choose it as a destination.

By then, whole generations of then-forgotten politicians will have made careers of poisoning the well of our reputation

“I don’t do politics”

Well, politics is doing us, regardless.

So pay attention.

When Dunnes staff refused to handle S African goods they were denounced by politicians from FF/FG, as well as "business leaders". The same groups blocking the OTB today. They were spat on, beaten by Gardaí and followed by Special Branch. It took 3 years to shame the govt. into acting. Reluctantly.

Callaghan’s new “tough on immigration” rules will only affect a tiny proportion of immigrants—who also happen to be among the most vulnerable. The gov know that drastically reducing inward migration would be an act of self harm so they’ll pick on these asylum seekers as an act of performance. Sick

I'm 3 episodes in to Hector's new travel show Oz / Nz on TG4 & tá sé tharr barr.

How he highlights the unequal situation of the Aboriginal people in Australia is excellent.

He spoke to people that were taken as children & put into industrial schools.
The stories are heartbreaking.

"philosophical financial framework" is a very kind way of describing neoliberalism there from Mícheál.

📺Today on #RTÉTwip, RTÉ's Political Correspondent @fertha.bsky.social speaks with @aine-lawlor.bsky.social
regarding the departure of Paschal Donohue from the Dáil.

"Has to the only adult in the room left the Fine Gael side?"

You can watch the rewatch #RTÉTwip on @rteone.rte.ie at 11pm tonight.

This is absolutely depraved!

No citizenship if you receive social benefit is disgusting, but also if you have debt?!

Have a credit card? Need a loan for a car? Lucky enough to qualify for a mortgage?
No citizenship for you

What if this was the same for Irish abroad?

Putting aside mercosur for a minute, it's interesting (not really in a good way) seeing Aontú trying to gain, or even reinforce, support in the farming community.

I think they are trying to eat the lunch of the Independents to organise the agri vote, & may well succeed, unfortunately.

Following today's discussions of #Mercosur on #RTÉTwip, @aine-lawlor.bsky.social asks Paul Lawless (Aontú) his point of view on the proposed partnership.
