When I lived in Paris in the early 90s , I spent many happy evenings in this place.
Anyone else ?

Can any #Mastodoine recommend an accountant who has a good understanding of NI / RoI personal & small company finances?
I’m a previous NI resident, now relocated to the South.

Thanks!

I’ve got this week off work and am spending it clearing the house of clutter and fixing broken items before we sell and move to the new house. I’ve held onto so much stuff that I haven’t looked at or touched in the past 14 years of living in the city. Off to the recycling center we go! #mastodoine

1) In our latest #podcast episode, we think PJ Rigney, founder of The Shed Distillery, has a lot of wisdom to share.

Here, he is talking about the ingredients that went into building up The Shed Distillery

Let's talk about houses, those things that everyone has and that are really easy to get,those things which you need to have in order to not die! about the housing market and how strange it is that this basic necessity is the thing you're meant to make all the money from! about that very cool situation where someone will let you live in a house they own in exchange for lots of your own money which you'll never get back! https://youtu.be/0dEpFNvmIwQ #mastodoine #Ireland #TheLeftistCooks #HousingCrisis

Great to see the Irish tricolour being flown by so many people on O’Connell street today to celebrate our National Olympians.

I hate how both “Republican” patriots and fascist “patriots” think it’s solely theirs and have used the flag to promote both sectarianism and white supremacy.

Our flag represents inclusion and unity and represents every Irish citizen, whatever their religion, colour of skin or country of birth.

Love seeing it celebrating our national heroes.

Saw the #Kneecap film yesterday and just loved it. Scannan iontach! Kneecap's /Purple Rain/ but with a lot more going on. Tempted to go see it again while it is still showing. Tiocfaidh ár lá! #mastodoine

Domestic users are reducing their energy use, but large industrial ones upped it by 16% in 2023 compared to 2022. And data centres represented 21% of the metered use in 2023!!!

The Locals, a documentary that tracks 7 candidates through the campaign in #Dublin North Inner City is probably for you!

What I hate about this election time is how people doing door to door don't even bother to wait until you answer the door after they ring your doorbell. It takes a few seconds for me to put down my book or stand up from my desk and go down to the ground floor, only to find nobody at the door or the candidate's team already walking away, out of reach.

How is this different from kids ringing people's doors and running away for fun?

Same level of disrespect.

Now that Hickeys on Henry street is closed, can I get a recommendation for a well stocked fabric store in Dublin?

My handbag is falling apart and the prices of nice leather are (probably?)* too rich for me. But Hickeys was the only place where I knew I could get quality leatherette by meter.

* ( leather is preferable but cost, and ability to sew by a domestic HD machine - so low thickness - are the deciding factors)

Suggestions welcome!

It's incredibly shameful and sad what has happened today to asylum seekers in Dublin. I'm lost for words, so I'll quote messages from the amazing volunteers that are helping them:
"This morning, without warning, people camped out at the IPO were told to get out of their tents and that they were being moved.

Far right seemed to have been tipped off and came and slashed tents and destroyed belongings.

The asylum seekers have been moved outside the city and just given more tents to put up themselves.
They've literally been cleared away like rubbish for optics for St Patrick's parade
Thousands of euro of tents and equipment have been destroyed at the IPO. All of which was bought or gathered by the volunteers."

Can anyone direct me to a GP in #Ireland that isn't averse to vaccinating an adult against #measles?

Good news everyone!
