Breaking: The State has dropped charges against an asylum seeker accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in Saggart, West Dublin in October 2025.
Accused was told by the presiding judge this morning that he “should be released from custody”. More @Independent_ie

The video produced by the DRCC involving grandparents does not represent the views of the Government. It was both inappropriate and demeaning to grandparents and has been removed by DRCC following my officials engagement with them.

Seit Jahren verbreitet der amerikanische Rapper antisemitische Klischees. Es ist überfällig, dass er dafür Verantwortung übernehmen muss. Solidarität verdient er keine. spiegel.de/kultur/eklat-bei-…
Anyone else sick of people lying about their jobs on The Traitors? Somebody just said: "I'm saying that I'm an English teacher wheras I'm actually an associate professor" ffs #TraitorsIrl

In the early 90' Dolly Parton was holidaying in County Kerry. Stopped off in Páidi O'Sé's pub, no less, and sang "Coat of Many Colours".
Paidi gave her a Kerry Jersey from the 1985 All-Ireland final.

Other countries are building 300mph high speed trains and linking provinces previously underserved. Meanwhile Ireland is trying out a food trolley. Careful now. (Father Ted theme plays…)

Daniel Kinahan when the matter of bail is broached by the judges. “I think we know I won’t be getting bail but thank you so much for explaining that”.
Charged with one count of directing an OCG, remanded to custody to October 5
Best of luck to all the photographers out this evening trying to bag a shot of Daniel Kinahan entering the Special Criminal Courts.

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.

For the first time in 75 years, the Sam Mcguire Cup comes home to Mayo, Ireland.
I said it three years ago when I was in Ballina: Mayo for Sam!
And I meant it.
I said it because I know what it means not just the county of Mayo but to my own family’s story.
Today, the dream becomes reality.
Congratulations to my friends in Mayo. You earned this victory. Enjoy every minute. Sam is coming home ☘️
