This day three years ago – 25 May 2018 – 66.9% of Irish voters supported repealing the constitutional ban on abortion. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said, “Today we as a people have spoken, and we say we trust women and respect women to make their own decisions and their own choices.”
Great to see a full house this morning to celebrate our Irish Heritage Month Business Breakfast! Thank you to our guest speaker Padraic Coffey, author of This Day in Irish History, for sharing his experience of using social media to bring Irish history to a modern audience.
In honour of International Women's Day, here are a few Irish women who made significant contributions to Ireland and the world. A thread.
March is Irish Heritage Month! Join the Consulate, online or in person, at 7:30 am PDT on March 7th for our heritage themed Business Breakfast. Check out the link below for more details and to register. marchbusinessbreakfast.eventbrite.ie
Delighted that my friend Ferdia Lennon's debut novel Glorious Exploits has been chosen as RTÉ's Book of the Week, on top of the praise it's already received from Roddy Doyle and Emma Donoghue. Be sure to pick it up if you like contemporary Irish fiction! rte.ie/culture/books/…
It was impossible not to be moved after Tom Hand, Emily's father, spoke about his daughter when it was believed she had been killed. Hamas should release her, unconditionally, along with any other hostages captured on Oct 7th. I cannot see why anyone would disagree with that.

In 1919, Emir Faisal, future King of Iraq, wrote the following: “We feel that that the Arabs and Jews are cousins in race... We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement... we will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home.”
I'll lose followers for this, but I don't care: 239 hostages are still being held in Gaza by Hamas, the youngest Kfir Bibas (9 months). No matter how righteous you think you are, if you believe taking an infant hostage is excusable, you are not the good guys. #BringThemHomeNow
Just picked up The Disconnect by @roisinkiberd in @vibesandscribes, one of the best independent book shops in Cork. I used to run into Roisin quite a bit in Dublin. Looking forward to giving this a read!
Tragic. The victim blaming of Kim Damti on many Irish social media accounts over the past few days has been sickening. This Irish person hopes her murderers are met with retributive justice.

I love this clip of Michael Gambon, switching between the Dublin accent he had as a child, and the Received Pronunciation and Cockney accents he learned after moving to London.
Neil Jordan's Michael Collins came in for a lot of criticism, but it is hard to deny the power of its climax. And it wouldn't be nearly as powerful without Sinéad O'Connor's rendition of She Moved Through the Fair.
Irish Independent front page. Lovely #SineadOConnor
@ThisDayIrish Love it, what a loss indeed. This is my favourite youtu.be/wbre5Fs9m8I
I've listened to this live version of the song 'Two Little Boys', performed by Sinéad O'Connor in 2005, more times than I could count. It's gorgeous. I wish there were a more polished recording available. What a loss to music. youtu.be/kDx8U9Qhku0

We all wondered how the holocaust happened. Maybe we now know. The irrational and hate filled rush to judgement on the “Gaza Hospital”, the failure to correct the inaccuracy and the marches silent on Hamas. Israel needs to change, settlements etc but the venom of many?
Too many people's emotions on this site are conditional on who is to blame rather than solidarity with innocent lives.
@ThisDayIrish @vibesandscribes Omg Padraic how are you?!!! Also thanks for reading and congratulations on your book!
To those denying that Kim Danti was Irish; Your hearts are filled with hate for Jews, and you like to call yourselves nationalists. You had hoped you could enjoy the slaughter of innocent Jews in peace without having to deal with any conflicting emotions. She had Irish blood,…
Come election time in Ireland I will remember those people who mocked, cheered and twisted as innocent people were being massacred - including a young Irish citizen. I suggest you do so too.
@ThisDayIrish I hope and pray she is found safe and sound.
