I do find it kinda baffling that the government took something like 1.5billion out of the economy just to reduce the already reduced vat rate on restaurants and hotels and stuff rather than literally anything else. It's just absolutely wild to me! #SpeirGorm

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

Ah that's better. Unfortunately I seem to have borked my website in the process for some reason. But at least things are looking tidier.

Yep, in Ireland all three presidential candidates are Republicans, the government is made up of Republicans and we vote entirely for Republicans on both the left and the right.

have we started messing with them by throwing the word 'republican' into the mix yet?

A new report published in The Medical Journal of 🇦🇺 argues that the 🇬🇧’s Cass Review should not be used as a guide for the care of young trans people.

It also asserts that 🇦🇺’s approach to treatment is recognised internationally as best practice.

Given my country has literally the worst trans healthcare in the European Union and I've never been satisfied with my treatment at any clinic I've been to, I shouldn't be surprised how poor it is.

There’s something quite poetic about FF running a presidential candidate in 2025 who (allegedly!) turns out to be a dodgy landlord, right after they decided against Bertie because he might remind people why we don’t like FF 🤣

Regarding the €3300 reportedly owed to a former tenant of his, Jim Gavin tells @aine-lawlor.bsky.social that he 'does not have all the information to date' and that he is 'looking into it'
