It’s the 225th anniversary of the 1798 rebellion. The Irish state should be commemorating this in massive, funded way - the United Irishmen are a signpost to the future and the unity of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter. Instead we get…nothing. Make 2023 a year to remember.

RTÉ has the only purpose-built recording studio for orchestra in the country. Invaluable studios and spaces. Built and paid for in the 1960s. Solve things another way - don’t sell the family silver. These things are actually the hallmarks of ‘a state’. Or it’s just ‘a market’.

Michael Collins was in Sinn Fein. Not Cumann na nGael, or Fine Gael, or the Blueshirts. WT Cosgrave was never ‘Taoiseach’. He was President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State. I’m going to have to spend all year at this, aren’t I? 😂 #facts #ahistoricalFFG

On this day in 1798 Wolfe Tone died in this building, the Provost’s Prison, now part of the grounds of St Bricin’s military hospital. Like so much to do with 1798 there’s no plaque and the building is bricked up, but it’s amazing to think it still stands.

Lots of articles mentioning Thomas Kinsella’s ‘Butcher’s Dozen’ as if poets writing about Bloody Sunday was a normal everyday thing. Here’s words from the great man himself about what happened to his career after. Colonised minds then (as now) more upset by critique of Empire.

Shocked by the amount of unnecessary dereliction on Dublin Streets. The attack on Georgian Dublin is relentless. 80% of the Georgian, Queen Anne and Hanseatic city was destroyed between 1950 and 1980 and this is Aungier / Francis St now. All in the middle of a housing shortage.

On this day in 1798 the battle of Vinegar Hill Enniscorthy started with a massive artillery bombardment. Over 1000 combatants + civilians were killed. Please sign this petition to stop the 1798 Rebellion Centre (that recreates this moment) from being sold

I love how Finnerbots are having a day out ‘Feinsplaining’ me (new word) how Sinn Fein have no hereditary or dynastic or historic ‘roots’ traceable back to the ‘original’ SF. (The whole fucking point of republicanism is to get rid of that elitist lineage-based bollocks) 😂😂😂

There are businesses in the country who don’t have rateable premises so they can’t avail of any business grant schemes. This is a major flaw in the system and a very 20th century idea of how service businesses work. The PUP isn’t enough. We’re running on fumes and need help now.

Mary Ann McCracken - sister of Henry Joy and one of the only United Irishwomen to be photographed. At 89 years of age she was still handing out anti-slavery leaflets to American travellers docked in Belfast harbour! Pre-order my book featuring her here..

The online meeting idea is great- to hear them talk about everyday issues in a calm way has actually been hugely reassuring in a time when we are all scared about the one thing. It made me feel like there’s a real world out there that we’ll get back to sometime. Make it weekly!

Save Moore Street. Even this government of differently capitalist political parties - must see the potential for an amazing historic quarter that remembers the foundational moment of their existence. Just do the right thing - we have enough hotels and offices. #savemoorestreet

‘The gun was back in Irish Politics’. Good quote, but seems to forget about the permanent presence of British army guns. #Partition1921

‘I hear you’re an RICist now father?’ 😂 Post-colonial self-loathing is done - nobody wants this kind of commemoration. The Black uniforms we see in ‘Black ‘47’ are RIC. The Black coats of the Black and Tans are RIC. But what’s with the Swastika?? #COYBAT #BlackandTans #cblive

The total disrespect for history in this part of the country revealed in the vandalisation of St Michan’s. Is it any wonder, seeing as we elevate only sneering, equivocal, condescending viewpoints of our national story, making nothing important enough to treasure? #StMichans

As a fan of the overused Irish political cliché, here’s a snippet of a song from my new show ‘The Murder of Michael Collins’, dedicated to the ‘safe pairs of hands’ who took over after him. 😂 Get your tickets immediately at ! #MichaelCollins @TadhgHickey

Don’t let Joe’s ‘Brits’ reference upset you! The Brits refer to themselves as #Brits in their annual music awards, politics, acting and even wartime children’s books. And, like the Earl of Fingal writing to George III in 1798, you won’t get any thanks for your heroic defence 😂
