University staff say €4.55bn research fund ignores arts and humanities. Almost 2,000 sign open letter criticising Research Ireland for favouring industry and commercial interests. https://t.co/6cSlS1NN0V

If you want to object to building over #Bessborough, you have one week. #UnmarkedGraves

[Dr. Conall Ó Fátharta @ococonuts]

More remains found in Tuam, yet Bessborough is still a non story. I started writing about this place in 2010 and the Govt still has no interest in touching it. https://t.co/E11D1gzvlO

[Dr. Conall Ó Fátharta @ococonuts]

Guess how much these nuns have contributed to the Magdalene Laundries redress scheme? You guessed it, not a single cent.

In a world of increasing greed and moral spinelessness, Stephen in #TheTraitors weirdly gives me a little hope for humanity

The obligatory rehabilitation interview...and It's a Wonderful Life comparison. Give me a bucket

[The Irish Times @IrishTimes]

Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy sought therapy to help him cope with “really dark” feelings due to the intensity of criticism he received during the RTÉ payments scandal that precipitated his exit from the State broadcaster.

[Ken Foxe @kenfoxe]

I'm very confused as to what position this man occupies in terms of Irish Govt.

He wasn't elected. The taskforce he served on (with zero dissenting voices) was hand-picked with no open appointment process.

Where's his mandate to speak for the State?

[Ken Foxe @kenfoxe]

If your political ideology leaves you in a position where you have to defend a young mother being shot in the face along with the right of a billionaire to monetise creation of child sexual abuse material - it’s never too late to reflect on how you ended up there.

[Dr. Conall Ó Fátharta @ococonuts]

So @fiannafailparty @FineGael said this pathetic redress scheme would be the most expensive in the history of the State. As predicted its spent less than 10% of its budget. All to save money on the backs of women it treated abominably. Shameful is too kind
