I'm utterly devastated here. Dublin City Council has decided to evict me and the 39 other artists in our collective, from a space that we gutted and cleaned and rescued from dereliction. This will definitely be the end of me and my career in Dublin. @LabDCC @DubCityCouncil

This is pure madness by @DubCityCouncil They are also trying kick @dlightstudios out of their building. Extraordinary to think that the artists and other creatives who have invested time, passion, energy and money in these vital places are getting evicted by the council!

What a pleasure to receive, and peruse, @ManchanMagan's latest wonderful book 'Wolf-Men and Water Hounds: The Myths, Monsters and Magic of Ireland'.
Every stone, every stream, every tree, of our land has a rich, ancient story attached to it. This book will take you there.

I'm grateful to @tonybailie for lovely articles about my new book Wolf-men and Water Hounds in the @irishdailystar and @IrishMirror
It's the powerful images by the wonderful @doogsby that really stand out.

ADORE my @ManchanMagan Wolf-Men and Water Hounds: The Myths, Monsters and Magic of Ireland! Gorgeous art @doogsby. Province by province look at creatures from legend. Highlights a magical word/phrase in Irish. Publisher @Gill_Books. This is a must purchase for children & adults!

Our fragile musical instruments being looked after - not.
@Ryanair, Blue Handling - absolutely appalling customer service.
To think the amount we paid for you to take them…

ok so I’ve gotten a lot of criticism of my attempts to draw realistic birds, but I think I’ve made a breakthrough.
even though they move quickly (and are often obscured by foliage!), I think these are close to 100% accuracy! that being said, I welcome any constructive criticism

Míle buíochas, @Hodges_Figgis . Cuireann sé tocht orm (it brings a lump to my throat) chun cuimhneamh siar ar mo óige (to think back on my youth) agus mé ag cuardach trí seilfeanna Hodges (seeking out books there.)

Coillte yday confirmed to me that they are selling off 39acres of public forest near Enniskerry for a paultry 250,000. This is a scandal. This is a public forest with a right of way, bronze age cooking pits and is part of our natural heritage. This privatisation must be stopped.
