Bookish. Curious. Believer in a little magic everywhere. Would follow my dog to the ends of the earth and far beyond. Looks for kindness first.

@LibrariesIre little idea I have, if anyone wants to send suggestions. Where are ireland's quirkiest, different libraries? Thinking of the restorations at Birr, Loughrea, Sixmilebridge, Moate. Old churches and courthouses repurposed beautifully. Any others?

@pplshdsm @becausemybooks Oh I still have my own. The best archive of a happy childhood and the best building blocks for a future love of reading.

@timjmb @KateGleeson1 Equally wrong. There aren't geographic bands of racism. Yes, it is all or none. A racist comment is always racist and entirely unacceptable

[Fiona Robbins @fsrobbins]

@KateGleeson1 The number of people using Irish user names and speaking hate, the most vitriolic of it at women is awful. The two have become almost inseparable. Is it that Irish speakers are filled with hate or those filled with hate think they appear more Irish hiding behind those usernames

@JasonSymes4 @KateGleeson1 Well James Connolly would have disagreed with you there.

[Fiona Robbins @fsrobbins]

@crypto_ttt @KateGleeson1 Well there's something to be said for at least being honest.

[Fiona Robbins @fsrobbins]

@MichaelDurden50 @KateGleeson1 Ah James Connolly, the Scottish born son of immigrants. With the global socialist views.

[Fiona Robbins @fsrobbins]

@0Cuculainn @KateGleeson1 Nothing suggests the 1916 leaders were isolationist. JM Plunkett studied Arabic & wrote poetry in the language. J Connolly was Scottish born & his socialism was rooted in a global view. T Clarke was born on Isle of Wight. Anti imperialism doesn't = ethno state, whatever that is

@pplshdsm @NiecyOKeeffe The Detectorists is the finest, the finest of all television series. The theme song alone sets it in a class of its own

@NiecyOKeeffe How to tell it's a Bank Holiday in Ireland.

@ThisIsIreland3 I have driven past this beautiful cottage. I saw it being rethatched. It is so lovely

@skyrimghost2624 @7thTimeCharmer @EsmerOreilly @TheLiberal_ie Easy to throw insults and be obnoxious in hiding. The behaviour of a coward.

[Fiona Robbins @fsrobbins]

@skyrimghost2624 @7thTimeCharmer @EsmerOreilly @TheLiberal_ie Well I don't hide behind graphics or use made up identities. It must be easy to be brave in hiding.

@DrowningGenX @angelwakingup2 @TheLiberal_ie In no way whatsoever do I defend any person who commits rape or murder. I condemn any act of violence, regardless of who commits it, what their skin colour is, their religion, their ethnicity. Rape or murder are not crimes unique to migrant communities.
