This is the voice of our President, using the limited but powerfully symbolic position of the Presidency to speak truth to power - we wil miss him when he retires. As far as I can see only Catherine Connolly would be a true replacement #speirgorm #aras25 president.ie/en/media-lib...

Too good not to post here, swiped from @artistKateOShea on instagram. A glorious, puppy-cradling Snowman Tom Crean built by Siobhán Clancy in Poulacapple, Co Tipperary.

A life sized snowman in a field on a hill in the image of Antarctic explorer Tom Crean. The pose itself is taken from a famous portrait in which he stands on the ice, wearing a thick woolen jumper with a pipe in his mouth, and cradling an armful of puppies.

While advocating for Dublin and university research are what motivated me to run in this election, being born with a physical disability, with my active involvement in promoting the arts, and being a long-term cyclist & e-bike user, I bring a rounded perspective to the role of senator.
