Gorgeous day for #Bloomsday, Sandycove, Co Dublin! Readings, songs, tour of Joyce tower, location of 1st scene in #Ulysses

Micheál Martin will need to explain (1) the character reference from an officer ! (2) why Cathal Crotty is allowed back on base, where he may not be subject to CCTV footage when he next encounters women?

This is Cathal Crotty. He's a cowardly little piece of shit of beats up women in the street and then brags about it He just got a suspended sentence His victim was concussed, her nose was broken & she was at risk of a brain bleed rte.ie/news/courts/20…

tinyurl.com/ahhx6dzc What is wrong with Irish judges? And judicial system that permits #TomODonnell to suspend sentence for #cathalcrotty who beat a woman unconscious? And senior officers @defenceforce eg #PaulTogher who praise this 'exemplary officer' in court? Irish PEN

Judge Tom O'Donell ought to be utterly ashamed at his own verdict and sentencing given that he has a diploma in HUMAN RIGHTS. Where's the humanity for a woman's life ruined? As for Cathal Crotty, may he never know a day's peace in his life. A coward. A woman beater. Deranged.

Never forget this judge, Cathal Crotty, or his Commandant Paul Togher.

If you notice strange activity from my other social media accounts, I'd be very grateful if you'd let me know. I will never message you to ask you for any personal info (or money). Thank you.

tinyurl.com/2456t755 Love this witty & informative account of how to write - & how not to write - fainting in literature, from the POV of the fainter. Now determined that my latest hero(ine) will experience at least one signficant swoon.

Thank you for doing this, Fiona.

A brilliant and intriguing collection...interactions between the women in Picasso's life, with the women centre stage. Fascinating to read.

Not open to entries from Ireland, though.

What a brilliant team and brilliant idea! Looking forward to your future projects. Good luck!
