Well, back from #IKEA in #Ballymun - it's a nice enough spin across the city 🚵 but that's the last time I'm going there - they no longer sell #KallesKaviar https://www.ikea.ee/en/rooms/food-beverages/fish-seafood/fish-seafood/kalles-kaviar-cod-roe-spread-art-80028571 or their delicious #SeaweedPearls vegan caviare which was delicious on buttery toast with lemon juice https://thetakeout.com/what-exactly-is-vegan-caviar-ikea-sells-it-1826555045 Got some sweet-pickled herring and plant balls and smoked salmon, but it's the Kalles and vegan caviare that got me on my bike, so #NeverAgain

The Leaving of Ballymun
Air: Skibbereen

Oh father dear I often hear you speak of Dub, about
Its coffee smells, its Book of Kells, its billion pints of stout,
Its thanks and please, its fragrant breeze, its gossoons honey-tongued.
Then tell me Dad what was so bad, you left old Ballymun?

The rest of the words and the guitar chords (good ones, not the crap you see elsewhere!) can be found in "today's Willesden Herald". Link: http://willesdenherald.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-leaving-of-ballymun.html

Anyone working in #Ikea in #Ballymun on here?

What's the story with Ikea in Ballymun? It's really gone down. Never has the foods I want (big wheels of knackebrod, tubes of Kalles fish roe, black seaweed pearls, fancy pickled herrings), escalator was broken… the food selection has been increasingly dreary every time I've been recently - what's gone wrong with their food ordering? #IKEA #Dublin #Ballymun

The council has delayed, by years, its plan for a major revamp of the Ballymun plaza. “I’m completely disappointed but I’m not surprised,” says Robert Murphy, who chairs the local TidyTowns. “We’re left waiting on everything.”

RT @NoeleenReilly: Youth Club and Boxing training cancelled tonight in Ballymun because of the lies by some who seemed determined to tear our community apart. Some of these kids now will be out on the streets, Where is the concern for children now? #ballymunforall #Ballymun

We must fight with the power of love over the disproprtionate power of hate when it arises. Excellent blog from Stephen Neill, and as shown by the #Ballymun and #Ballyfermot communities

@Andy_Scollick Leo Sherlock runs The Liberal from home in Co Louth where he churns out daily diatribe of hate designed to stir up fear of refugees in places like #Ballymun #EastWall. Unlike Gript there's nothing subtle about it. It's simply in your face racism requiring #HateSpeech laws to stop.

@ashstronge Funny how these uneducated barrel scraping leeches of #Irish society are so quick to point fingers at the refugees.
Instead of going out and getting employed they moan about #Refugees coming from war torn countries and 'taking' their jobs & homes. When they themselves are the dole-collecting leeches of our society!
