The Geneva Window, the exquisite but ill-fated final masterpiece by Ireland’s “strangest genius” Harry Clarke. I tell its emotional story in my novel. 2nd pic is the Nelly the dancer from Liam O’Flaherty’s ‘Mr Gilhooley’, made for the Geneva Window. It’s in the Hugh Lane Gallery.

@MaryLouMcDonald You can never be taken seriously as a politician if you continue to spout propaganda like this. Own the past or we will never move on from it.

One year ago, we lost our comrade, Bik McFarlane. He dedicated his life to the pursuit of freedom, unity, peace and equality. It was a life well lived, a life that shaped a legacy that will inspire generations to come.💚

@philipnolan1 All the best for 2026 Philip!

Happy New Year, everyone! Not quite the 2025 I planned, but I’m optimistic about the future, and 2026 will bring better things. 🙏 Enjoy the fizz tonight - I hope it’s not all alcohol-free! 🥳🎉🎊

@Siobhan2culture @bigmonsterlove The boy’s father is in prison for drug dealing so I guess the rumours are well founded.

@_Who_Dis_Tho_ @dublinbusnews A E2 arrived five minutes earlier which had way more standing passengers. Yet he let 7 people on.

@ccrichton @dublinbusnews 17:20, very likely the E1 was full. Wet roads mean drivers need to stick to more stringent load limits , due to braking distances.

@dublinbusnews E1 just sailed past 4 passengers waiting in the lashing rain at stop 40. Two of us had a hand out to signal the driver. Thanks pal!

@urlofcork I don’t get how anyone can have a relationship with a stone, but at the same time I have to admire his obsessive enthusiasm.

Made of Stone on RTE1 is Bonkers, Brilliant and stunningly beautiful in equal measures

A writer’s courage isn’t measured by talent but by their willingness to return to the page after doubt. 👍🥺🧐

@MichaelsCoDub So sorry to hear the news Gaz, you put your heart and soul into the place. Feel for you and all the team.

Big Mike’s – A Closing Note Sunday was our last service at Big Mike’s This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. It feels like failure, but it isn’t. We’re proud of what we achieved, we shot for the stars, poured everything into it — heart, soul, sweat, tears, life savings, even the house deposit — but the brutal truth is the maths just don’t math anymore. The industry is facing unsurmountable challenges. We gave it our very best I’m proud of my team, grateful to our guests, suppliers and FWBs all of whom have been incredibly understanding. My final act as gaffer is to go to bat for my staff so they land safely in new homes and ensure they are fully supported. Many of them have been with me a long time and I’m determined to assist them moving forward. I’ve written a full note with all the details — regarding vouchers, reservations, a heartfelt thanks and what’s next…… You can read it here bigmikes.ie

Through a Glass Darkly, the excellent documentary about Harry Clarke’s Geneva Window, is repeated tonight on RTÉ One. Presented by Ardal O’Hanlon @ardalsfolly and directed by Gerry Hoban @ramblinghobo

I read the news today Oh boy

@mcculld @eir The last straw for me was when they insisted they could only close an account by speaking to the account holder, even though I had told them the account holder (my mother) had been in Glasnevin cemetery for a month. Just appalling customer service, and it never changes.

GRMMA @CauveryMadhavan for reminding us of who we are capable of being. 🇮🇪 🪷🇮🇳 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I successfully prosecuted 1000s of men for rape They were all documented & vetted They didn’t come by boat & live 4 to a room in hotels They live in every town & city 88% of them are white If you ONLY care about the black/brown perps then you don’t really care about women & girls
