"Christian Brother" is an Irish oxymoron. Young men coerced into a life of chastity & poverty in the name of Christ & education. Their own trauma & resentment was infamously vented on their pupils by decades of sadism & #rape. Now they try to evade liability for their crimes. As an unincorporated body, the Christian Brothers cannot be sued unless they provide a 'nominee’. The brothers didn't. So all of the relevant members are being sued individually. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0804/1586407-christian-brothers-names/ #iepol #ielegal

Ah, I see FFG are trying to do the "High Vis and Helmets are going to be mandatory for pedal cyclists" authoritarian bullshit again. 🙃 A high vis vest wont make me more visible to drivers, but a trans pride flag cape would make me more visible and rapidly increase the likelihood that "fellow" motorists would murder me. #sarcasm #iepol #fuckffg #cycling #ireland #bullshit #transrightsarehumanrights

#PatLeahy is political ed of The #IrishTimes. His 1st paid job was at #ThePhoenix. So can Pat explain its demise? https://archive.is/CILA6 Pat says The Phoenix was redundant. It had exposed corruption, but tribunals & laws ended corruption. Bollix! The Galway Tent ended. In came mega-scandals of neoliberalism. In 2013, the FG-Lab govt handed Irish housing to vulture funds, & tried privatising water. More muck than ever. But now its neoliberal muck, and the Irish Times is neoliberal. 🤮 #iepol

114 years ago today, #suffragette Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington smashed some windows at #DublinCastle, while campaigning for votes for women. 8 years ago today, President #MichaelDHiggins unveiled this plaque to the window-smashing. https://president.ie/en/diary/details/president-unveils-a-plaque-acknowledging-irish-suffragettes I am proud to be a citizen of a country that commemorates window-smashing. ❤️ #iepol
