In 2016, I was invited to have a conversation with
Gerry Kelly on LMFM Radio about my book 'Gullible Travels'. Nigel & Cormac Talbot, the brothers who raped me during my child & teenage years, complained. Gerry Kelly read a scurrilous apology for broadcasting the truth. I took legal action.

An uncounted number of extra people have died from AIDS and 2.5 million have lost access to medicine to block the spread of HIV, because of cuts to global programmes since Trump returned to the White House, the U.N. body fighting AIDS said on Tuesday.

PREACH.
It has to be named after Maureen Sweeney, the Irish meteorologist who gave the Allies a critical weather report before D Day.

Irish aviation history and meteorological history are intimately linked, and we're a Republic - we don't name things after Taoisigh here (except in Cork).

Joking aside, every day, there are TDs in the Dáil taking it upon themselves to try and single-handedly make fools of us all for bothering to participate in the democratic process

I'd love to celebrate this, but - honestly - it's just more performative posturing designed to justify, and attract more, funding.
There is no will to change, in any meaningful way, the abuse of women and children on this island. (See, also, funding for Traveller research 🙄)

The mystery of Enochs disappearance, fittingly, has a biblical precedent. He has returned to his home planet. His people needed him.

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?

Look those of us who were here early on bluesky weren't gealgorie. We did what we could with our broken Irish to create a tag to bring Irish people together.

Having those who are fluent decry those best efforts, when they came a lot later, is disheartening. #Speirgorm
