@ElaineARoche 🙏🏻

You were remembered in the beautiful Franciscan Friary in Wexford this morning #Peace

Dubliners, suggestions for a pub with a back room or space that can be rented/reserved, ground floor ideally cos of accessibility. Sunday afternoon into the evening. I'm not fussy am I?

#journorequest - looking to talk to a kitchen designer or an interior designer who specialises in kitchens and is based in Ireland. DM if any thoughts. Shares appreciated.

@jackiepoetry Very sad news. My sympathies to you and your family 💐🙏🏻

Very sad to share the news of the passing of our mother Gladys, a friendly & kind person. A lover of reading, singing,Poirot, John McCormack, Cliff Richard & jaunts around the country with all of us. Her family & faith meant the world to her. Walking Jim’s Field with Daddy now.

“He wants to own what he cannot tame.” 🟥 WOW... 🇬🇱🇩🇰 The lyrics of this new “Greenland Defense Front” video. 👌🏼 Just - WOW. ‘Epic’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.

At Minneapolis airport, @maitlis watches on as shackled ICE deportees board an aircraft. "It's one of the most dystopian, the most chilling things, I think i've ever witnessed." "The plane doesn’t have a name or number, it’s a 'dark plane' - it doesn’t officially exist."

@LucindasIreland I’m very sorry to hear about Beau. Thinking of you and yours 🙏🏻😔

@domdyer70 Lost Beau yesterday Dominic - and Bruno last year - group down now to his 3 siblings who are like lost chickens this morning. Going to bury him in the garden….💔😿

Losing an animal companion can be one of the most traumatic experiences in life and sharing that grief is often a path we choose to remember the happiness they brought to our lives John Barrowman broke down in tears in an emotional video on Monday, as he cradled the body of his dog and announced the Jack Russell had passed away. The Scottish-American actor, known for roles in Doctor Who and Desperate Housewives, sobbed as he revealed that the beloved pet had died peacefully in his arms, after 'waiting until I got home' to say goodbye.

Word has spread on the long tailed tit grapevine that I run a very good bird café. This family group (likely brothers & sisters from a 2025 brood) came to dine. I’m passing on these 5 adorable tiny birbs (colloquial name: flying teaspoons) to you bc we all need a bit of joy rn🪶:

@Moviddy Looking west from here.

@RobLooseCannon My Aunt and uncle met there at the ‘Guild of youth’ The 1920s-1930s version of a youth club.

The Temple Theatre was more than a nightclub. For a particular generation of Dubliners, it was a rite of passage.Its lifespan was barely seven years. But its legacy as a sacred place for music, dancing, drugs and getting your hole makes it one of the most important spawning grounds of Dublin youth. Long before all that good stuff, St. George’s Church was of the Georgian Northside Dublins great early 19th century Protestant houses of worship. Designed by the architect of the GPO Francis Johnston, the church began construction in 1802 and opened in 1814, he gave it a dramatic triple-tiered spire. But St. George’s was nearly fecked from the start. The dodgy roof was made with badly designed timber trusses and began to fail under its own weight. Luckily Robert Mallet, one of Ireland’s most innovative engineers, designed a series of cast-iron trusses to stabilise it. By the late twentieth century, the church was once again encased in scaffolding. The posh spire needed reinforcement during the 1980s. Protestant attendance on the northside had dwindled by then anyway and St. George’s was deconsecrated. Its bells, made famous by their tolling in Joyces Ulysses, were removed to Taney Parish Church in Dundrum. The aul pulpit took a stranger journey, ending up in Thomas Read’s pub on Parliament Street. In 1991, the building was sold to actor and entrepreneur Sean Simon. On the 9th of September 1996 St. George’s reopened as the Temple Theatre! The neo-classical interior remained with the nave accomodating a congregation with a different vibe. The vaulted basement crypt was refitted with recycled church pews and converted into two bars. The Temple Theatre quickly became Dublin’s premier dance venue, attracting an international roster like Sasha and Digweed, Judge Jules, Mauro Picotto, Scott Bond, Joy Kitikonti, and Lisa Lashes. And then, as with so many great Dublin institutions, it bleedin ended abruptly. The final weekend, over the August bank holiday in 2002, was called "End of an Era". By September 2003, the Temple Theatre had closed its doors. So what about the urban legends of there being bodies buried under the dancefloor? Well when this Church of Ireland site was deconsecrated records indicate that some remains were removed to the consecrated ground of Mount Jerome Cemetery. But Dublin legends say deeper vaults were quickly sealed behind new partitions to accommodate the bars and sound systems. There was a more thourough rennovation in 2004, after the club when the building was purchased by Eugene O’Connor and converted into high-end offices. The building is currently used as private office space for Temple Street Children's Hospital. The "Crypt" where people once danced to trance music is now used for storage, plant machinery, and office infrastructure.

@Moviddy Yes, I’ve used it and I’m sure my Mum did too.

@smore2102 Yay!

@smore2102 I hope it went well? I love my yoga class, it’s more than just the exercise. 🙏🏻🧘‍♀️

@MaryMc_31 I hope the rest of your trip to Cork goes better! If you need anything give me a message a shout. 😃

And I do also realise it's a privilege being able to even order room service. It's been loooong drive in some dodgy weather from Dublin to Cork this evening.

I know I'm being picky here... ordered room service and received pretty ok soup... but no napkin and no knife. I'm not buttering it with my fingers... I'm too tired for this... (Knife just turned up, 15mins later. Soup eaten already). 😩
