“I won't apologise to anybody for demanding justice for Irish speakers, because the rules are there."

A Sinn Féin Councillor has said people who live in the Gaeltacht should be able to speak Irish.

Italy is now officially a forest nation

More than one-third of Italy is now covered by forests, the highest level since the Middle Ages. Most of the growth came naturally as abandoned farmland gradually returned to woodland

I'm a Pine Marten nationalist.

@TabbyTeamster @turbarius They have the biggest dreams

@clocrisis Not true, depends on dialect

Blue eyes much more common in Ireland than this map shows

Bacon is not from Ancient China, it appeared separately among multiple countries who had pigs

[Simon Harris @SimonHarrisMBD]

It always makes me laugh when I see Lee Anderson using a bacon sandwich to declare his Britishness to the whole world.

Leavened bread - Ancient Egypt 🇪🇬
Bacon - Ancient China 🇨🇳
Butter - Türkiye 🇹🇷
Ketchup - USA 🇺🇸
Brown sauce - British, but made in The Netherlands 🇳🇱

Humoristic obituary of Cú Chuimne, one of the Ionian monks, in the Annals of Ulster:

[Ecofact @EcofactEcology]

Pine Marten (Martes martes) at a site in Co. Tipperary last week. This once-threatened native species has made a remarkable recovery and is now present in every county in Ireland.

Can someone explain to me what in the flying fuck is wrong or objectionable about a Mississippi steamboat in the middle of Dublin.

[Medb @true_gael]

Agree, it doesn’t naturally exist in Ireland, that’s why all parties are all centre-right except Sinn Féin until recently

[Martin Corry @MartinCorryTD]

@boombastitis @KeithWoodsYT this "left-right" dichotomy is fundamentally an Anglo cultural framing completely inappropriate to a Gaelic society which in it's time had social and cultural practices associated with both and with neither.

[Medb @true_gael]

That is no excuse to demolish what is good to fit in with terrible architecture, improve what is there rather then create a drab miserable consistency

[Kylie Jender 🏳️‍🌈 @_KylieJender]

Let’s not pretend the west side of St Stephen’s Green isn’t already ruined by terrible architecture. St Stephen’s Green is one of the largest Georgian garden squares in Europe, packed with history, and next to no attempts to preserve it.

@vuirich But the holiday is not about him being Irish… it’s missing the point. No one thinks he was Irish above 10 years old here, it is taught that he was a slave from Britain

[Medb @true_gael]

Why do British people think the Irish don’t know this? This isn’t some big ‘gotcha’ moment

[Birko Baggins ✝️🇳🇴🌲 @BibleBaggins46]

Always remind the Irish that Saint Patrick was BRITISH

[Medb @true_gael]

@fitzr1189 First is better

[Medb @true_gael]

It must be stopped, what a travesty. But apparently there are plans to appeal

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

[Medb @true_gael]

So they agree to demolish something as iconic Stephen’s Green while literally wasting throwing away money on their own building thats also about to be demolished
