Jim O'Callaghan has caused these students all this stress and delay. When they have plenty of stress living through a genocide. And he's done it with our money and fought it in the high court with our money. Jim O'Callaghan needs to resign. For this and so much more.

So much for An Post's reassurance that you'd be able to pick up parcels locally after they centralise the sorting offices. For people who don't have a car, this will be more than a two hour round trip. Join your local campaign to keep your sorting office.

Depressingly it seems some of the media lost sight of decency too check out this contribution on Instagram by 3 Irish Independent Political Correspondents Remarkably ill-informed, damaging, incredibly insensitive & unashamedly unbalanced #speirghorm www.instagram.com/reel/De2NMgN...

This proves behind any reasonable doubt that our government is at the behest of outside influences. There is absolutely no logic here. Devastating for these students and making us, as a nation look like a complete joke. Let’s not let it fall from the top of the feed. 😡 #spéirghorm

The Justice Minister interfering with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre consent campaign "because it does not represent the views of the Government" is unsettling. Interference like this risks creating a chilling effect and self-censorship within wider civil society. www.iccl.ie/news/justice...

Worth remembering that Ireland had a referendum where we put the rights of the child into the constitution despite those who campaigned against such rights. Also this attack on DRCC sends such a poor public message to teenagers (the actual video shows one teenager who likes hugs & one who doesn't)

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

Thanks to libraries and booksellers everywhere. Míle buíochas #IrishBooks #shoplocal

The distinction being drawn by the Government members is that a hug is non-sexual and so you don't need consent. I simply don't agree and this is a very bad assertion of government policy over children. We had a whole referendum where the rights of children were affirmed www.rte.ie/news/2026/10...

Hysterical and predictable reaction to an advert on Liveline and earlier in the Dáil from the usual suspects. Text DRCC to 50300 to donate to DRCC. They really do fantastic work!

Denying visas to Palestinians in the midst of genocide is immoral and cruel. International conference on Palestine planned for Maynooth University had to be cancelled, because Ireland's government wouldn't grant visas to Palestinians. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

I truly can't recall an issue where the government have so openly worked against the will of the Irish people. Time and again, polls have shown this is a fringe position in Ireland and yet FFG are fighting tooth and nail for it. This represents a fundamental change to how we identify as a country.

If any country is objecting to peacekeepers being sent to a region, there is no peace to be kept there. We would instead be taking part in missions of aggression against another country. I don't believe this path makes us more secure as a nation.

Pick a random decision of the DOJ and you'll find an error like this. That's why there are so many Judicial Reviews - it's the only avenue to have these things examined independently. Big Jim has responded by making it significantly harder to take a Judicial Review. www.rte.ie/news/2026/10...

How can anybody never mind survivors have trust in a Minister for Justice who weaponises rape for political gain - he doesn’t get it - this is unacceptable and he needs to go #rape #speirgorm #ireland

Weaponising rape now … #speirgorm

I agree with RTÉ. "Saorview provides free and anonymous access to public-service television without relying on broadband subscriptions, internet companies [...] during storms, power failures and other emergencies, telecommunications networks [...] fail" #spéirghorm www.independent.ie/business/sao...

Ditto every Political Party

The face of Sky News calling Irish people “Anti-Jewish”. Sky have approximately 600,000 customers in Ireland by the way.

I think all the Irish Sea ferries could do a nice business in selling Sally Rooney novels in the duty-free shop

Today saw a really significant strike- the biggest in, really, decades. It happened because the people in the Government (politicians and civil service management alike) had no experience with how to address a strike. It had never happened to them and they were all over the shop in responding.

So great when a major charity asks you to donate artwork for their fundraiser art auction which is being promoted with AI slop

Does the Greyhound racing industry have a stack of Polaroids locked in a drawer or is there some other explanation #budget27

the most predictable consequences ever: Strikingly, every single one of the many smart glasses videos we found were captured by teen boys — and their bad behavior was overwhelmingly directed at girls.

Anyone know anything about The Governments My First Home scheme? That it's open to non EU citizens and it's hard for some countries to check if applicants for the Irish scheme already own properties in other jurisdictions.

Mark Zuckerberg’s few coins thrown to the GAA should not fool us www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic...

Have been a regular for ~35 years at Lansdowne but couldn’t stomach it this evening. None of us took our season ticket seats. Would have enjoyed seeing that goal live but struggling to articulate how we feel about this team. It was good to see the protest there despite RTÉ cutting away a lot.

A pointless exercise the FAI have no credibility neither does the Government nothing has changed & nothing will unless the FAI is disbanded #speirgorm #stopthegame
