Into big walks

[Barry B @barry_bu]

Hi folks! I’m off on a big walk again, this time from Bishopstown to Rosslare Harbour as part of a wider trip.

This time, I want to give back! That’s why I’ve setup an iDonate page to help raise funds for @Cork_Simon and @NascIreland

Inniu, Lá Idirnáisiúnta na Máthartheanga, táimid ag roinnt na bileoige seo a cuireadh amach thart ar an mbliain 1900 leis an nGaeilge a chur chun cinn. Tugtar roinnt fíricí uirthi, mar aon le ‘tuairimí scoláirí iasachta.'; https://t.co/5pFxHyNjHN.

While social media was erupting with disdain re: derogatory post-colonial comments on the Irish language aired on TV, Gaeltacht communities from all over Ireland were calling for change to stop the linguistic crisis in Irish-speaking areas.⬇️

People easily lose sight of the simple fact that democracy with lobby groups is no longer democracy.

@davidmcw It’s not a crisis but a policy at this stage

Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!

Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀

If you haven’t already read South Africa’s case submitted to the International Court of Justice for israel’s acts of genocide against the Palestinian people, you should take the time to do so.

But here are some highlighted portions, section by section ⬇️

Just been sent these shocking images of folding in Newry after intense rainfall over the last 24 hours!

I kept looking for living people who understood the dynamics of this conflict & found NONE as clear-minded as Villepin, former French PM & mostly chief diplomat.
I thought no living politician had the clairvoyance of Gaulle & Peyrefitte. I was wrong.

Never seen this level of flooding on Oliver Plunkett St. before @CorkSafetyAlert

[Daire Calnan @DaireCalnan]

My heart..., everyone in this pub in London cheering for Ireland #IREvRSA

[Barry B @barry_bu]

@DaireCalnan I nearly cried

[Barry B @barry_bu]

Omnes viae Rosslare! Cullenstown to Rosslare Harbour (via Kilmore Quay). Finally made it!

Reached Amsterdam, my end destination, safe and sound! Lovely entry to Holland early this morning on the ferry

[Barry B @barry_bu]

Quick train to Amsterdam and now am checked into a hostel for the next few days. Will be spending time with the lads so tweets might not always be daily from here!
