Stop that.

This afternoon.

Heuston South Quarter (HSQ), Dublin,

Members of staff at HSE’s Contact Management Programme celebrates its diverse and multicultural team through Holi, the Hindu festival of colours, also known as the ‘Festival of Love’. Holi is observed on sundown of Thursday, March 17 ending at sundown on Friday, March 18 with much smearing of colours, drenching of water and general hilarity. Your move, Catholics.

    Local lad wears his Pride rainbow-coloured Bank of Ireland ID card lanyard all year round to show how declining young people a mortgage isn’t for just for one week every year.

    Participate in some face-painting antics of another culture to be inclusive and diverse of course, but how many of those in the photos include participation in Mass on March 17, from their own cultural upringing? think we know the answer to that one – courting others’ religions is the new religion here. they have nothing of their own left.

        One in six people live in India- 1.3 BILLION- and despite their low vaccination rates against the ah-AH choo bless you- they are doing incredibly well.

        I have a question for Janet and probably the coupled extension- why is that here in Ireland we only hear of people describing themselves as Indian but never Pakistani?

        I get the Irish assumption that everyone looks the same but I have yet to see a Paki yet the Indi are all over my Irish Grindr app?

          probably to save against discrimination, so lads lie and get a chance to prove they are not what you they are frightened you will think a Muslim is…and being gay in Pakistan isn’t as acceptable as in India.

            I have found the Pakis to better in the sword fighting helicopters myself- but I am probably just being racist.

          well some parts of India sent a viral pack of ivermectin… depending on state government for example in Bihar or Uttar Pradesh….and the results speak for themselves.

    The shillery of the Irish for anything “forn” is a truly pathetic sight. Journey through Europe & people will tell you of their admiration for our rich culture & landscape, every second French person I meet waxes lyrical over holidays in Connemara or The Burren, with some Irish trad in the pub in the evening.
    Meanwhile, Official Ireland sneers at all that & imports booga-booga nonsense from the Third World.
    As it’s sponsor, the US, finally runs out of road, I won’t miss Globalism & it’s racist pogrom against the European minority on this planet.

    WOW. What a beautiful and inspiring selection of photos from what I am sure was an amazing day for all involved. Also the queen in the last photo with white linen pants is very photogenic and stunning.
