More remains found in Tuam, yet Bessborough is still a non story. I started writing about this place in 2010 and the Govt still has no interest in touching it. irishexaminer.com/opinion/co…

Guess how much these nuns have contributed to the Magdalene Laundries redress scheme? You guessed it, not a single cent.

In a world of increasing greed and moral spinelessness, Stephen in #TheTraitors weirdly gives me a little hope for humanity

The obligatory rehabilitation interview...and It's a Wonderful Life comparison. Give me a bucket

Broadcaster Ryan Tubridy sought therapy to help him cope with “really dark” feelings due to the intensity of criticism he received during the RTÉ payments scandal that precipitated his exit from the State broadcaster.

I'm very confused as to what position this man occupies in terms of Irish Govt.
He wasn't elected. The taskforce he served on (with zero dissenting voices) was hand-picked with no open appointment process.
Where's his mandate to speak for the State?

So @fiannafailparty @FineGael said this pathetic redress scheme would be the most expensive in the history of the State. As predicted its spent less than 10% of its budget. All to save money on the backs of women it treated abominably. Shameful is too kind

Remarkable story at the Dublin Marathon where 19-year-old Ava Crean from Limerick takes the women's national title in 2:34:12, a 9-minute PB - 6th overall.
Crean had never run competitively before signing up for the Manchester Marathon in April - listing her target time as 3:30.

If Heather Humphries won, I wonder would RTÉs main interview on This Week be Maria Steen?

So, instead of Catherine Connollys win being the narrative, we are going back 15 years to get Declan Ganleys view...ffs

Heard this a few days back. It's beyond dreadful not to mention insulting to the affected people

Car crash interview by Heather who says “It doesn’t really matter now at this stage” about sealing Mother & Baby Homes survivor testimony for 30 years.
Heather: “I don’t know exactly what is sealed and what isn’t sealed”
John Morley (host): “You voted for this!”

Gentle reminder…the Special Criminal Court was opposed trenchantly and for compelling reasons by Mary Robinson before she became President; its continued existence has been criticised by the UN Human Rights Committee, UN Special Rapporteurs, the Irish Human Rights & …
The two candidates in the Presidential Election have clashed over the Special Criminal Court with Heather Humphreys saying she supported it and Catherine Connolly calling for its abolition

Just when things weren't going any worse for Heather Humphries, she gets an endorsement from Bertie Ahern. Quick, more questions on Russia
