Brian O'Nolan (Brian Ó Nualláin) who wrote under the names Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen died on 1st April 1966 in Dublin. He is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. O'Brien's novels have attracted a wide following both for their unconventional humour and as prominent examples of modernist metafiction. As a novelist, O'Brien was influenced by James Joyce.

Conor McGregor Announces He’s Running for President of Ireland
#AureFreePress #News #press #headline #Ireland

Went to Burger Boy the other day. Had just ordered when I saw a Trump cutout behind the counter. “Why do you have a cutout of Trump?” “Ah, our owner blah blah we also have a Biden hat blah blah…” “So is he a Trump supporter?” “Well, he’s 50/50… although he really loves RFK Jr.…”

Needless to say, no more burgers from Burger Boy for me.

If you’re looking for the best burger in Bray, by the way, and don’t want a side of fascism with it, check out Gimme Burger.

Statement by President Higgins

Weds. 19th Mar, 2025

“The gravity of what is now unfolding in Gaza - the loss of so many lives, including those of women and children – must be recognised and addressed.

The credibility of all those who present as strong advocates for international law and humanitarian action is called into question and indeed strongly compromised by any silence...

All those in positions of influence must break their silence...

While it’s difficult to avoid the asshats* (and “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” notwithstanding), given Amazon Ireland has launched this week, just remember that every euro you pay them goes toward fucking billionaire Jeff Bezos who is helping Trump dismantle democracy in the US and elsewhere. So please do your best to shop locally – or with smaller EU shops – and avoid Amazon as much as you can.

The Forgotten Ten (An Deichniúr Dearmadta) were ten members of the Irish Republican Army who were executed in Mountjoy Prison, Dublin by British forces following courts martial from 1920 to 1921 during the Irish War of Independence. The ten included Kevin Barry.

Seeing #Taoiseach Micheál Martin pal it up with Trump made me sick to my stomach. The fact that our leader spends St Patrick's Day abroad is pathetic enough already, but this is frankly disgusting. I do not know how to fully express the rage this makes me feel. Shame on you Micheál. #Ireland

Going to #Ireland in 12 days and I’m looking for some good historical fiction to set the mood! Any #Viking scholars and #histodons know if there are any good novels about Turgesius, for instance?

Confused? It's by design and intent.

"...#Trump declared on 12 March that #Palestinians will not be “expelled” from #Gaza, seemingly taking back threats he made earlier this year to ethnically cleanse the strip to build the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

'We are not expelling anyone from the #GazaStrip,” Trump told reporters ahead of his meeting with #Ireland PM Martin.'

Mary Elmes (Marie Elisabeth Jean Elmes) died on 9th March 2002. She was an Irish aid worker credited with saving the lives of at least 200 Jewish children at various times during the Holocaust. In 2015, she became the first Irish person honoured as Righteous Among the Nations by the State of Israel, in recognition of her work in the Spanish Civil War and World War II.

Ok, one last ditch attempt with for crowdsourcing social work (and please do forgive me if I don't have spoons to reply to your toots, if there even are any).

I'd need a tax lawyer in Ireland (the Republic, that is) who understands disability pensions their international taxation, and could help me pro bono. Due to circumstances I can't affect, Ireland pays a miserly amount of disability pension to me and every year there's some issues with my tax returns. The tax officials are useless, they give me different instructions every time I contact them. As said, I'm on minimum disability pension so I don't have the means to hire anyone to help me with this.

And before anyone suggests these, I've contacted the tax authorities, I've contacted the citizen information and all these other "free" services, each and every one has refused to help me as I am not Irish, I don't live in Ireland, and I'm not even a tax resident in Ireland, and stating that my case is too complicated for them.

And please do not offer your own "well you should do this" or "shouldn't do that" advice, unless you are, in fact, a tax lawyer in Ireland. My apologies for brashness here, but I've dealt with too much goodhearted advice as is in the last few years and don't have spoons to go through those now.

His death provoked strong anti-British, pro-Irish republican reactions around the world. The Iranian government renamed Winston Churchill Boulevard, the location of the British Embassy in Tehran, to Bobby Sands Street. This forced the embassy to move its entrance door to Ferdowsi Street to avoid using Bobby Sands Street on its letterhead. 2/2
