A Brazilian national with a stamp 4 visa and who is 9 years married to an Irish person,has just been stopped by immigration at Dublin airport and was asked why he is travelling with a friend and not his partner. Then asked to show private messages to show he is still his partner.

Dog owners, is there anything more infuriating than seeing an owner of a large dog approaching you and upon requesting that they recall their dog to put them on a leash, they reply with,"Don't worry,he's friendly", while said friendly dog is running at your tiny leashed terrier?

Sorry, I deleted the other tweet with this video because I said things about Des that were really unnecessary and without actual proof. So here is the video,I'm asking him to apologise to my community publicly. No cancelling or blacklisting,just an opportunity to learn and grow.

Just returned from my beautiful Aunt Kathleen's funeral. So sad to say goodbye at 40,so sad to watch her fade away into the next realm through cervical cancer. Shame on you that lack empathy at these difficult times,shame on you and May God forgive you, because I currently can't.

Here's a picture of my granny from the 1950s, enhanced with colour. I come from the greatest of stock, and the most beautiful part of my granny was the how her mind connected with her heart. 😊

There's no racism in Ireland, whenever there's a Traveller birthday or a funeral, pubs close their doors for the day as a mark of respect.

A new year's day jog, fresh kale and potatoes for dinner, washed down with a kombucha tea. Not me, someone on Facebook. I'm sat here with 3 litres of trifle in front of me.

Today's filming location for the Traveller elder oral history project for the @NMIreland is Navan. I'm about to sit down for a chat with Nell Mcdonagh, wife of the late Michael Mcdonagh, the Traveller historian. This wagon is 50 years old and is in live-in quality. Stunning.

Big massive street party in Dublin, a big funeral in cork last week, pictures all over social media of People attending family and friend's Barbeques... But a Traveller funeral takes the headlines in cork. Most of the reports overlooked the actual Tragedy faced by the family.

A little message to the privileged white settled people that are currently on the anti racism buzz, because for some of you, that's all it is. You're not anti racist when you find no desire to protest against the racism and discrimination Travellers have historically faced #blm

To see a Traveller wagon outside the Dáil on a day of protest was powerful,especially when we are only protesting over the lack of action and engagement on Traveller suicide.Promises of support need to be fulfilled. No one at the office of An Taoiseach would accept our letter.
