Cognisant of the 'Dublin Is Dead' narrative. Whilst this is true, it's our city and we have to fight for it. We have to resuscitate it. We have to push back and forward and not give up. Be the change you want to see in the world. Or in your beloved city.. ❤💞

The HSE hack would really, really make you (slash the govt) want to think twice about a centralised Public Services Card now, wouldn't it? A cute centralised database of everyone's biometric information.

It's gotten to the point where I have a bottle of wine on the go in every room.
