"The fact a senior gangland figure almost got into Leinster House is for many disturbing and dispiriting" Something that didn't happen is dispiriting? Dispiriting is low voter turnout, the loss of good public reps and the general outcome of the election. The realisation of a likely "more of the same" from the next Govt is the dispiriting part.

A 20,000 cap Irish dance festival has sold out in two hours - well done @District8Dublin - the obvious demand for dance events isn't served by the dwindling amount of dance venues here. Stop legislating against dancing + reform the laws! @FineGael @fiannafailparty @greenparty_ie

If Govt can't get this legislation in by summer then something has gone seriously amiss. A small "bespoke" piece of legislation as the Taoiseach refers to it, a fraction of the draft that was published 16 months ago, and still no time for publication in sight? #whereisthenight

I've had a lot of people from outside Ireland asking me about what's been going on in Dublin, and also about the growth of the far-right in Ireland. Here are some recent pieces I've written addressing this context.

The Irish far right have even less numbers than brain cells; judging by their terribly attended demo in cork city

Separately, with ongoing uncertainty re: licensing, very few operators or potential operators are investing in spaces, all as building costs continue to rise and insurance premiums stay prohibitively expensive. Govt must do something for the sector in this budget. #giveusthenight

The SEO system prevents short notice bookings, incl. private parties, potential sell-out shows etc. It also discourages risk-taking on smaller shows and acts (a key function of the night-time economy), which reduces activity and employment. SEOs Gotta Go

Government's epic delay to reform licensing means that venues are continuing to be charged outrageous "Special Exemption Order" costs, and must still nominate the nights they'll open a month in advance. We're asking for these costs to be removed entirely in the forthcoming budget

Sinéad was invited to perform at a celebration for Bob Dylan at Madison Square Garden — she was to sing a Dylan song. It was shortly after her protest about the Pope and the abuse scandals in the Church. Many in the audience booed her. Then she did this. youtube.com/watch?v=y4fVxcT0…

As a remembrance of how she put aside her career to fight the evil that was behind the curtains of the Church

in 1992, sinead o’connor shocked the producers of SNL when at the end of her performance, she tore up a photo of the pope to protest child sex abuse in the church. her career was totally derailed and the church’s abuse did not re-enter the national spotlight for another 10 years

One of the greatest musical voices ever to emerge from this island. A true voice against domestic & clerical abuse, for womens rights. She stood against archsic religious values & sacrificed much to the abuse of the media. SINEAD YOU ARE A WARRIOR RIP & plz all remember her music
