Today is the anniversary of Oíche na Gaoithe Móire - the Night of the Big Wind, 1839, the worst natural disaster in Irish history.
Did the terror and the psychological damage of the night feed into the language-shift in Ireland?
Grateful for retweets!👍

"When I'm in England, I say I'm from Ireland.
When I'm in Ireland, I say I'm from Dublin.
When I'm in Dublin, I say I'm from Crumlin.
When I'm in Crumlin, I say Leighlin Road.
When I'm in Leighlin Road, I say I'm a Lynott."
Remembering Philo, who died today in 1986.

Andrew McGinley is calling for a change to the law that would allow partners to be involved in mental health care when children are involved.
Nearly six years after his three children were killed by their mother, he is also urging the coroner to widen the scope of the inquest.
@dublin_damo Thanks so much for sharing your holiday. I was living vicariously through your photos. It all looked wonderful and it's definitely on the bucket list. Safe home.

This was my plan to relaunch MTV.
All you do is replay the first decade of MTV in real time.
It woule be like an instant music-history channel.
Zero production costs. Add new sponsors.
Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
People, animals and wildlife are all trying to survive.
Be kind.
Always.
