If anyone is on the Dart (last carriage) that left Pearse at 1326 today and finds a pink Sculpted by Aime bag containing a compact please let me know. I got off just now in Sandycove and forgot it. It’s a gift for my niece…

Thank you all so much for the well wishes and nice messages after last weekend. Next week we go to Croke Park and hope to finish the job. If you’re interested in donating to the cause we’re very grateful. 🔴⚪️

The last few years has been this: rebuilding an independent bookshop we love & trying every day to be worthy of our readers.
Now we’re An Post Bookshop of the Year 🧡
Our MD Mick Finucane shares a 5 a.m. reflection on how we got here 👇

This is genuinely insane. I mean, just worryingly divorced from any reality. How desperate are people to believe this nonsense?

Today was the 13th anniversary of the death of #Savita. We will never forget that she died because of the Irish state’s abortion ban and being beholden to the catholic church. Maria Steen & Iona would like to take us back — but we won’t let them. #NeverAgain

Comhghardeachas to all - incredible win! Dingle also happens to be the most majestic place and my favourite place on earth, my beautiful late father’s Kingdom ✨
'This is right up there!'
'An incredible day for Dingle - what a day!'

The German company that built the forklift used in the Louvre robbery uses a photo of the heist to advertise itself: “When things need to be done quickly.”

For day 4 of #IrishBookWeek our Laureate for Irish Fiction Éilís Ní Dhuibhne shared one of her favourite Irish books she read recently:
'I’m reading Mícheál Ó Conghaile’s An Blaosc sa Bhois (CIC 2024). This is a highly original take on the Tuam babies scandal. It’s written in the richest of Irish, very evocative of place (Connemara), and quietly stunning.'

This week is #IrishBookWeek and we’re delighted to take part in celebrating and highlight Irish books and bookshops.
We booklovers love a good browse in a bookshop and we are spoilt for choice with our many wonderful Irish bookshops.
We asked our Laureate for Irish Fiction about a few of her favourites.
‘Books Upstairs is one of my favourites in Dublin. I also like Chapters on Parnell Street, and The Dingle Bookshop and an Café Liteartha in Dingle.’
