Who fractured it Simon?
Since Mo is clearly the answer, and I want to share this any chance I get, please see the only motivational artwork in our gaff. I love it more than I can say.
Rapper Liam O'Hanna welcomes ruling in case he says was 'never about any threat to the public, never about terrorism'.

whenever Cathal Crowe is in the news, I am reminded of two things
(1) he is a conspiracy theorist who believes the (non-existent) crown of Brian Boru is hidden in a church in the Vatican whose wall he wants to smash open
(2) he is the chair of the Committee on Education and Youth
Pretty sure it's just data gathering, but they can't insist. They have to sell you the thing even if you don't have your boarding pass. I don't do it everytime but I have done it when I feel like being obstreperous.
Met an auld lad earlier who told me his family dog ran out on to the set of The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965) during filming in Smithfield, Dublin, and his family all went to see it to see their dog on the big screen.
Pain during ovulation is called Mittelschmerz - literally, "middle pain". Having a bit of pain mid-cycle is pretty normal, although if it's so serious it interferes with your day, it might indicate there's something wrong and you need to see a doctor. Here's why many of us feel pain at ovulation...
I've made more selling hats than my book advance.
There‘s a certain set of phrases that are primarily rhetorical resources to excuse inaction but which are often mistakenly treated as substantive policy analysis:
“it’s a complex issue”
“it’s a multi-factorial problem”
“it can’t be solved overnight”
“we have been trying to solve this a long time”
25+ years derelict. In Dublin City Council ownership since 2019. No funding from the Department of Housing to rebuild.
The two derelict houses on 19 & 21 Connaught Street have been abandoned by the state. They're now structurally compromised and a risk to the neighbouring houses on the terrace.
the “better fash than cringe” reaction has been one of the more significant and widespread poisons of the last decade
Every so often I remember the Irish immigration system is so dysfunctional that the Brazilian community here had to set up a WhatsApp group to help find each other after the DoJ kept returning their passports to the wrong people #speirghorm
A small human (4?) doesn't quite trust the structural integrity of the burger Dad's just given her.
She first takes off the top bun.
Then she deconstructs all the ingredients into tidy piles.
Then she puts it all back together again just how she likes it.

In the a city car park on a quiet Sunday, two men (20s?) have laid surfboards out on a footpath under a shady tree and are comparing balance techniques.
No waves in sight they're having a good time.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Ireland will remember what International Law is on or after 18th March.

thegist.ie I said CJEU judgments were succinct. But one of the ways they manage this is to be very information dense. To expand on that paragraph a little- where a person has a right covered by the Charter of Fundamental Rights or any other provision of EU law and access to those legal entitlements is being blocked by a failure to correctly record their gender (in line with the definition at paragraph 32 above as being defined by "lived gender identity, and not to the identity assigned to them at birth") then whatever national law that is causing that impediment is to just be set aside. It is a dead letter. Every_court, every. state body, every individual official has to behave as it it didn't exist. That's the consequence of incompatibility with EU law.
On discourse about trans people’s right to access to accurate ID, I’d like to remind that the EU’s top court, using data protection’s most fundamental principles, has declared that someone’s “lived gender identity” is what must be recorded to describe them.

Dublin City Council has pulled offers of social homes in Finglas development. It was a huge blow, said one woman who thought she was about to get a home. Why the council has retreated from a deal to lease the homes is a point of dispute.
