@Feargalll @quietgirlfilm @AngelikaFilmNY @ColmBairead I cried my eyes out! So moving 💔 a film that will stay with me too.

@obriendeetweets @quietgirlfilm @AngelikaFilmNY @ColmBairead A cinematic experience that will stay with me forever. The most memorable bit for me for me was quietly sobbing through the credits!

Just saw An Cailín Ciúin @quietgirlfilm @AngelikaFilmNY. @ColmBairead what a cinematic wonder, go hiontach ar fad. I used to spend summers on my uncle’s farm in Kerry, sweet memories. I’m lucky it wasn’t similar to Cáit’s story. May we protect vulnerable kids with ferocity. 🙏

Retweet if you think big media channels have a responsibility, when women are dying every three days from misogyny and male violence, not to legitimise and embolden abusive misogynistic views. ITV should fire Jeremy Clarkson.

@quietgirlfilm @IrelandinLA Thank you!

@obriendeetweets @IrelandinLA Watch this space, we’ll have news soon!

Talking #Oscars! We’re really looking forward to the US release of #TheQuietGirl -an incredibly beautiful and touching film-a story enriched by our national language. Comhghairdeas to all the cast and crew. #AnCailínCiúin is a definite #Oscars contender! #Irishfilm #TheQuietGirl

@donie @markdhealy @lucyoshea Yes, confirmed! Am from Kerry and it’s mom! My grandmother was “mom-nan”.

@markdhealy In Kerry, we do! @lucyoshea can confirm.

Almost as long as a call to an Irish mom.

@GovKathyHochul @Kerry_Official Thank you Governor. Up Kerry!

As a proud daughter of Kerry, congratulations to @Kerry_Official on winning the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship! My grandfather instilled in me the fighting Kerry spirit and a love for the game as a founder of the North American GAA and star of our local Buffalo team.

A major story that has perhaps been lost in all the noise: the Kerry ladies have an All-Ireland semi-final on Saturday. Kerry haven't reached a final since 2012 and they haven't won it since 1993. With Dublin and Cork out, this is a massive opportunity for them #LGFA

It's costing Kerry captain Anna Galvin €1,792 a month to play for her county. Galvin lives in Dublin and commutes for training. (Unlike her male counterparts, she is not reimbursed for her travel expenses.) That is incredible commitment. #LGFA the42.ie/gaa-inter-coun…

@Feargalll @ColmBairead @cleonanic Excellent review! Can’t wait to see it, hope it comes stateside soon.

An Cailín Ciúin is a masterpiece. Absolutely gripping from begining to end. Stunningly shot. Oustanding performances. I was full-on sobbing at the end. Congrats to @colmbairead & @cleonanic on all the thoroughly deserved success.

Excellent, persistent interviewing from @Stone_SkyNews. This is how it's done.

@ebintosh Evan, we don’t know each other but am appalled, angry and so so sorry that you endured such an ordeal. Sending you love and healing from Brooklyn. Thank you for your bravery in sharing this. I stand with you and all the LGBTQIA community 🌈

Last night a stranger called me a faggot before beating the shit out of me. He left me with a fractured eye socket, 2 fractures in my ankle, a dislocation in my ankle & some other minor injuries. We’ve come a long way but still have such a long way to go in terms of equality.

@MarianKeyes @MarianKeyes just finished Again, Rachel loved it. I’m the eldest of 4 girls and your dialogue with the Walsh sisters had me cry-laughing and v nostalgic. I’m living in NYC since 2013 and the book made me SO homesick. Nobody says “stone mad” or “listen here to me” in Brooklyn 😄

I can't stop thinking about this extraordinary intervention from Mary Robinson on the Late Late last week and how no one seems to have heard what she said, including Ryan Tubridy, who brushed off the words 'our children will have no future' like he had a cameo in #DontLookUp.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.
