He was born in an empire that no longer exists (the Austro-Hungarian empire). He grew up in a country that no longer exists (Czechoslovakia). He lived most of his life in a State that didn't exist when he was born. Holocaust survivor Josef Zelensky lived to the age of 107 and his funeral took place today. irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/…

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered. If anyone sees it, please send a DM. RTs appreciated.

Always fascinating to take a look at the faces of the past - we are so lucky to have photos of the classes of 1886 and 1893 from St Patrick’s College, which is now home to @DCU_IoE. What a legacy St Pat’s has - and the #Drumcondra150 Scholarships is a wonderful way to mark it
