The small party in a coalition govt. never fails to be punished. It looks like a sheet of cardboard is being placed over the Green Party TDs to quietly compost them into the ground. #speirgorm #GE24

Great to cover a good chunk of my 2025 Athletics Ireland membership on easy runs recently. Thanks to everyone who donated by throwing cans & bottles out of car windows!

What a 59 min podcast between Joe Molloy and Ciara Mageean. Our lives are so enriched when top athletes are willing to be open & reveal vulnerability about successes, disappointments, and dreams. #Speirgorm podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/c...

Irish Media Starter Pack 3 is just shy of 150 profiles. With 430+ profiles across three Starter Packs there is a foundation for people to find each other and connect. I am going to leave it as is for the moment unless I get a specific request for the remaining places!
go.bsky.app/MJGeRC4 Virgin Media News arrived in the last few hours. Irish Media Starter Pack 3 is at 125 profiles.

Wheat farm to native forest in 40 years.
An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies.

Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍
