It seems a lot of people thought that the longest day was always the 21st but it can vary from 20th to 22nd. This year it is 20th at 9:50pm. Next year it is 21st at 3:41am.

The solstice today is the earliest summer solstice since 1796. Sunrise this morning in video.

The MMR vaccine is safe and very effective. We’re seeing what happens now when uptake drops, so PLEASE bring your children (or yourself if eligible) for vaccination. The HSE have a catch up programme, and don’t let embarrassment or uncertainty stop you.❤️

The MMR vaccine is safe, effective, and the best protection against measles  https://t.co/js5w6SxU8e

Thanks to all the clever people who "do their own research" on medical websites like Facebook we are are on the verge of a national measles outbreak in Ireland. Hopefully the same geniuses can help create a resurgence in polio and small pox too

The deterioration of Protected Structure, Templeview House in Easkey, Co. Sligo has accelerated in recent months. I did contact @sligococo heritage officer to outline possible options to save or at least stabilise this house in July of this year but no reply was forthcoming.

"For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900…

Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe.

Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.

On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 38. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day.

When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren't even over the hill yet, but don't try to catch your breath. If you lived in London, England, or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighborhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.

At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish. At 55, the Vietnam War begins and doesn't end for 20 years. Millions of people perish in that conflict.

On your 62nd birthday, there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening.

In 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is.

Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you think they survived all of the above? When you were a kid in 1965, you didn't think your 65-year-old grandparents understood how hard school was, and how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.

Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very enlightening. So, let's try and keep things in perspective. Let's be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.”

It’s difficult to have any faith in Cork City Councillors when thy can’t do the most simple thing right. These councillors should be shamed.
