Plumbing the depths. Just when you think the bottom of the barrel has been well and truly scraped, you find there's a whole other, even darker level underneath. #Kilmeade would have done well in 1940s Germany.

Genocide is defined as "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". Also, see UN definition below. For our MEPs, how much clearer does it need to be? #GazaGenocide #EPP #EUCowardice #Speirgorm

Frommer's Guide isn't too complimentary about #Tralee. It used to be a buzzing town until the 80s recession. The 2008 crash didn't help either. Why has it got such a rough reputation these days and is it deserved?
#Speirgorm #IrishBluesky
Sandwiched between the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula, Tralee doesn’t quite live up to its singsong pretty name. Mostly it’s a place you go through, rather than to. With a population of 24,000, the town is nearly twice the size of Killarney, but this is a workaday place, rather than a tourist center, and there’s not much here for visitors. In fact, it can feel a bit rough at times—especially on weekend nights, when the town’s many bars are packed. However, it has some attractive Georgian architecture and a few sights worth seeing, with a couple more offerings in the countryside nearby.
