Just Saying is a terrific short film from Kennedy Films. A potent portrayal of Ireland.
Rolling with the punches/aches/pains/flare ups since 2016. Rheumatoid arthritis might be invisible, but it’s still hella painful. Be kind to everyone for you don’t know what battle they’re fighting.

Cocoa Atelier’s macarons from Dublin, Ireland! I used to stop in here all the time when I lived in Maynooth. I would make myself sick on these things they were so good. Worth it.

Tears flow easy in a Dublin pub, but not even the heartbreaking songs from a brendanbehanish bard can truly water the beer.

IRA Burns Dublin Custom House
The Customs House on fire.
May 25 1921, Dublin–Fighting during the Irish War of Independence had so far been on a smaller scale: ambushes, assassinations, and the like. Éamon De Valera, President of the Dáil, pushed strongly for a higher-profile engagement, over Michael Collins’ objections. At 1 PM on May 25, the IRA stormed the Custom House in Dublin and began making preparations to burn the building. However, before they could finish and evacuate the building, British Auxiliaries arrived and began firing at the IRA inside, who quickly set the building on fire. The IRA quickly ran out of ammunition and could not hold out for long in a burning building, and at least 80 IRA members were arrested. Fire brigades were also held up by the IRA and arrived too late to save the building, which burned to the ground. The Irish tried to claim the burning of the Custom House as a propaganda victory, but the capture of so many men was a serious blow.
This took place against the backdrop of the previous day’s elections, called for in both Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, which had first formalized the partition of the island. Apart from the four seats reserved for Trinity College, the Southern Irish seats were uncontested and swept by Sinn Féin, who would not take their seats in a parliament they had not agreed to and did not recognize. In the north, the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) took two-thirds of the vote and three-quarters of the seats, with the remainder split between Sinn Féin and the remnants of the Irish Parliamentary Party. The Government of Ireland Act 1920 had not included all of Ulster to secure such a Unionist majority in the north, but had also included a large Catholic minority simply to give Northern Ireland a larger region on the map.

Trinity College.
I’m a reader…
Time and time again I have lifted a book and walked the pages of Ireland’s history. I have wondered for so many years what the stones of Trinity College looked like and what it would feel like to walk on the grounds.
Overwhelming would be my first response… unbelievable would be another. There are those places for some, where you wish with all your heart to visit before you simply can’t anymore. That is what Ireland was for me, what Trinity College was.
