New house things: some bits left over from previous owners that we want rid of. Some small bits, some furniture.

Is there a charity shop / service in Dublin we can donate to that might collect from us? And/or what might usually be done? Plenty here that I'd expect could be useful to someone, but we've enough to be doing without individually listing and selling/giving away on adverts.ie or wherever.

We're in Clonsilla (near Blanch) if that makes a difference. Thaaaanks! ❤️

Thousands line streets of Cork as Dragon of Shandon returns for its latest Halloween

From Church Street, under the shadow of St Anne’s, some 400 participants from 20 community groups turned out while giants and monsters lurched down Shandon Street, across the river to North Main Street and down the Coal Quay.

Continued thread

Recently here in Cork 2 Masters students from India were attacked: “Suddenly a guy just threw a plastic rope around his neck and tried to strangle him."

"They're just buying groceries. They're surrounded by four people who were abusing them. Telling them to go back to their country."

“I'm shocked by this. I'm here since 2008 and it's only in the last six months that I am hearing of this type of thing”

It's been YEARS of warning! about the far-right spreading hate, their grift, the increasing violence...The government, media, garda, were all warned but they did nothing (actually some news outlets AMPLIFIED their rhetoric of hate!) and now this sh!tshow #racism #xenofobia #IrishMasto #mastodonie #mastodaoine

InstagramCork Rebels For Peace on Instagram: "A terrified group of tourists barricaded themselves inside a pub as they fled a gang of teenagers in a shocking attack in Dublin. The tourists had just visited the Guinness Storehouse and were walking on Thomas Street in the capital when they were pelted with stones. A group of youths wearing hoodies then began screaming racial expletives – including the N word – at the visitors, believed to be from France and South America. One of the French tourists managed to take a hammer from one of the attackers. He received several blows to the face with the weapon as he tried to disarm the hooded teen. They managed to get into Arthur’s pub on the corner of Thomas Street where they barricaded themselves in, dodging the stones being thrown at them. The far right, along with the dangerous thugs and incels they create, pose a far greater threat to our communities than any foreigner does. Every week now, we see a racially motivated attack or arson driven by stochastic terror. It’s well past time that these racist grifters are held accountable and charged for their ongoing incitement and stoking of racist violence.
