A Cork Safety Alerts follower has reported spotting Hemlock Water Dropwort washed up on Front Strand beach in Youghal yesterday, Wednesday 18 March. A previous sighting was also reported at Mall beach in the town.
This is one of Europe’s most toxic plants. Do not touch it and keep children and pets well away. If you or your pet have had any contact with it, seek medical or veterinary attention immediately.

@kenoflynnTD People don’t have homes and you are complaining about an advert for the zoo. You’re a pathetic man

Today I wrote formally to the Board of the Zoological Society of Ireland, which operates Dublin Zoo, regarding their Mother’s Day promotion.
Many families contacted me expressing genuine offence at the decision to present a drag performance character as the public face of a celebration dedicated to mothers.
Mother’s Day is about recognising mothers. The women who carried children, raised families and made sacrifices across a lifetime.
Dublin Zoo is one of Ireland’s most prominent family institutions. Decisions taken by such institutions carry cultural meaning and responsibility.
In media coverage the zoo claimed this performer represents a “light-hearted celebration of Irish culture”.
I have asked the Board to explain exactly what they mean by that and how this decision was reached.
I have also asked whether the Board accepts that many mothers and families feel this promotion trivialised motherhood and whether an apology is now warranted.
Public institutions must be prepared to explain their decisions when those decisions cause legitimate public concern.
The full letter has been sent to the Board of the Zoological Society of Ireland today.

Civil war politics done right. Robert Barton TD, when invited in 1969 to the 50th Anniv of Dail Eireann by Dev, asked him privately, if he could be seated next to General Mulcahy, whom he hadn’t seen for decades. Dev sat him next to Blythe & the General; two signers of the….
