Not forgetting her work on women's suffrage (getting voting rights). I'm so happy she is finally beginning to get the recognition she deserves. #Waterford

Any knowledge of her history shows that she saved and was instrumental in saving, many lives. Who knows how many of us #Waterford people owe our existence to her diligence, bravery and determination - in what were then two very male oriented worlds of politics and medicine.

Delighted to see a newly commissioned portrait of Dr Mary Strangman hanging in a prominent position in City Hall, painted by artist Una Sealy. Dr Strangman was Waterford Citys' first woman Councillor. /1

A historic Gothic Revival-style church, St. John's Church, stands tall against a sky with warm sunlight casting a golden hue on its stone facade. The church’s tower features pointed arches and ornate detailing, reflecting its rich architectural heritage. Located on Parnell Street in Waterford City, Ireland, the building exudes a sense of history and timeless beauty

The Waterford (Ireland) Museum of Time displays clocks of many different styles and mechanisms from Ireland and many other countries. Among them is the earliest pendulum clock from 1663. #WaterfordMuseums #Waterford #Ireland backpackandsnorkel.c...

It is indeed. I bought one for my dad but sadly he never got to use it.

I think it's magnolia Hugh but don't quote me as I didn't get close enough to confirm.

Lovely breakfast and walk in glorious sunshine out at Mount Congreve this morning. The Coach House are now operating the cafe and I must say I enjoyed it immensely. It's a massive attribute to have on our doorstep folks. Try to get out if you can and don't forget to bring your visitors! #Waterford

An update on the Corvid with no top beak who frequents the park. He or she eats by pushing small pieces of food up onto their claw (see video!) and eating with its head upside down. We're thinking of calling him/her Dua One Lipa 🤣 #birdwatching #Ireland #Waterford @birdwatchireland.bsky.social

Beautiful pair of swans on St Johns Pill at Millers Marsh this afternoon. Incidentally, I have reported the amount of rubbish that is being dumped onto the river bank underneath the apartment block. Completely unacceptable. @waterfordcouncil.bsky.social #Waterford

It struck me yesterday that in 2025 Waterford City is 1,111 years old! Founded in 914 the city is historic, warm, colourful, inclusive, festive, brave, determined, artistic, sporting, musical, beautiful, loyal, ambitious and welcoming. Happy 1,111st birthday #Waterford. Our Harbour of the Sun.

We didn't walk all those miles and knock all those doors for #repeal only to put a load of Aontu folks in the Dáil with their recycled American anti-choice nonsense. Absolutely no votes for anyone who wants to roll back the progress we made. #ge24
