Article by Sean on the 'Limerick pogrom' (better called Limerick boycott') here Revisiting the ‘Limerick Pogrom’ of 1904 theirishstory.com/2020/07/05… @swgannon
📣 A Talk by Dr Seán Gannon on Revisiting the ‘Limerick Pogrom’ of 1904, will take place at Watch House Cross Library next Thursday 18th April at 6.30pm.
‘Dr Seán Gannon examines the events that followed two antisemitic sermons by a Redemptorist priest in January 1904, and considers how this relatively minor episode came to be remembered in Irish Jewish and non-Jewish memory as a Russian-style pogrom which all but destroyed Limerick’s Jewish community.’

Today, @NICEComms has released guidance on Setmelanotide, a new drug for managing hunger and weight gain in BBS. This is promising news. We are so grateful to those who have worked hard to create a treatment that will be a game-changer for our BBS community.

At the foot of the Knockmealdown Mountains, the village of Clogheen is a walker’s paradise. Whether you fancy a couple of hours on the trails or a full day, there is something to suit all ages and abilities.

The school, the Gardai, other agencies have to act urgently. There needs to be a multi disciplinary approach that leaves no stone unturned. Hate is contagious if it is not exposed and dealt with.
14 year old getting assaulted in Meath just for being gay. Fucking disgraceful teapawt.net/D0ct0rCLIMMOMS/status/…

Why this special deal @AIBIreland ? I’ve negotiated with you for ten years and you tortured everyone equally. Yes you have been reasonable generally. You favoured no one . Why this one ? DJ Carey secured 99.4% write-down of €9.5m AIB debt rte.ie/news/2023/0217/135735…
