This afternoon.
Gulp.
Saturday’s rally against covid restrictions; Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Defence Simon Coveney.
A tiny minority.
Who MUST be silenced.
This morning.
On Pat Kenny’s Newstalk Show.
Further to Muzzlegate…
“This is a difficult balancing act, I have to say that the people who were involved in that protest do not represent a majority review, in fact they represent a very, very small minority view.
“It is very unwelcome that people are foolhardy enough to think that they can ignore all of the public health advice, all of the doctors that are repeating the message over and over again, of our national public health team at Nphet, and the Minister for Health and the Government messages, they’re ignoring all of that because they see conspiracies in everything, and they just demand the freedom to walk around without restrictions — that is a tiny minority view.”
“I am not happy, most of the people who saw that demonstration on television would have been angered by it, that’s why I’m saying that the Government needs to try to get the balance right between the right to protest and be heard and the law and the regulations and guidelines that we have to protect the public”
Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Defence Simon Coveney
Covid-19: Government to discuss right to protest, says Coveney (Irish Times)
Saturday: We Will Not Be Muzzled
Meanwhile…
This is not a referendum. RTE doesn’t require to give equal weight here.
Disappointing to see this approach from national broadcaster after a weekend where @thejournal_ie staff were targeted by anti-mask (and the rest) protestors. https://t.co/MZ1UXFWgYn— Susan Daly (@BiddyEarly) September 14, 2020

God Knows featuring Hazey Haze – Mup I Said
Hazey shade of autumn.
Limerick rapper God Knows returns with another single from his Who’s Asking? EP Vol. 2 with special guest Hazey Haze in tow.
God Knows says:
“Mup I Said (“come up, I said”) is a call to action. It’s an observation of how things change as time moves forward. Some of the people that I started this journey with have settled down and discovered new dreams, some have deferred them, some like myself and my peers are still on job. Mup means ‘it’s not over til it’s over’. Don’t give up on yourself. Come up.”
Nick says: Straight outta Limerick.

Not amused.
Well, maybe a little.
Behold: M2-9, aka, the Twin-Jet or Wings Of A Butterfly nebula – the last great work of a cosmic luminary To wit:
…stars usually create their most artistic displays as they die. In the case of low-mass stars like our Sun and M2-9 pictured here, the stars transform themselves from normal stars to white dwarfs by casting off their outer gaseous envelopes. The expended gas frequently forms an impressive display called a planetary nebula that fades gradually over thousands of years. M2-9, a butterfly planetary nebula 2100 light-years away shown in representative colours, has wings that tell a strange but incomplete tale. In the center, two stars orbit inside a gaseous disk 10 times the orbit of Pluto. The expelled envelope of the dying star breaks out from the disk creating the bipolar appearance. Much remains unknown about the physical processes that cause and shape planetary nebulae.

‘Bad girls’: read @gibneyjfp‘s piece in @IrishTimesBooks on official attitudes to Irish women emigrating to #Britain after #WW2, based on archival material published (and about to be published) in the #DIFP series 👇https://t.co/cguNKb8Ute

In September 1948 a draft memorandum prepared for the first Inter-Party government claimed that ‘a great many of the young girls who emigrate to Britain become pregnant’.many of the reports are tragic and alarming in the extreme.
The continued emigration of large numbers of young women is a disquieting feature of our national life and one which gives rise to serious concern on moral, social and demographic grounds’.
Orla writes:
At no point in this otherwise thorough article (above) does the author consider a key reason many young women were leaving Ireland in droves was so they could keep their babies….
In fairness.
