#Speirgorm any chance someone can confirm Ó’Beistigh or Mac Biadhtaigh as the preferred Irish translation of the surname Best? The back of a hurling shirt (not based in Ireland) depends on it!
Talked to someone today who's been hired to do a project on the history of social housing in NI. In their defence, they're not from here and have a good body of work elsewhere but they had no idea of the political history of housing policy here. I mean, no clue. Someone decided to hire that person.

Does Ceol is Beatha not mean Music and Life? Is can be used instead of Agus, no?
Great, thank you! And for the no judgy. 🙂
What's the first, Ann Marie? I've never read any Le Guin (don't judge me!), and would like to.
Going to start a conspiracy theory based on this that the Civil War parties have been cloning Taoisigh in vats.
Always much appreciated by @nlireland.bsky.social Flickr detectives!

A pair of St. Brigid's crosses on a countertop, next to a mug. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland
For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.
A promotional image for the book, Steel-Plate Subversive based on the front cover. The background is the surface of the sea at night, the view is from above, looking down at the deck of a small, steel-grey submarine, cutting diagonally across the lower half of the frame. The hatch in the low-profile turret is open. A bearded white man in a green woollen jumper and brown flat cap is standing waist-deep in the open hatch, holding up a Thompson submachine gun. He’s lit from below by the red light inside the submarine. The title is in orange below the hatch, and my name is in white below that. In the top half, against the dark water, the text reads: ‘Dublin City was a bomb waiting to go off.'
The story starts in 1920 on a day of murder in Dublin. A British spy is exposed and has to escape before she's caught. As the violence of the War of Independence peaks, one veteran rebel leader is asking himself how long he can go on.

Ah, thanks! Do not remember that at all, at all.
Ditto!!
I just lost my source of hay due to weather issues for my supplying farmer who cannot turn out his livestock-- if anyone knows of any farmer supplying good round and/or square bales in areas surrounding Dublin, ideally who delivers, please DM!
