Ciaran Ferrie's piece in @irishexaminer.bsky.social nails the Govts capitulation on the Speed Limit Review. Identifying the urban roads that should be 50km (arterial) and 30km (everywhere else) is a relatively simple technical exercise with a small bit of guidance. Absolute cowardice.

Manuscript notes and character sketches written by Maria Edgeworth in planning her novels; some pages are extended by sewn-on scraps of paper. Amazing to see these, and the original case she stored them in!

On this date last year, I wrote about Joan Donovan and her three novels about misfit spinsters. O'Donovan's own life was equally misfit-y: a long affair with the Irish writer Frank O’Connor (while he was still married), a son by him, and years of hard scrabbling.
