Commissioned by #KAF50 during Covid and stunningly performed by Kilkenny’s newest residents in the careful hand and ever- inspiring imagination of John Scott What a joy to see it realised for this 50th KilkennyArtsFestival I sense it will have a long life! #dance #MigrationSonata

This is really very poor click bait from Irish Examiner - the article itself has a correction- it was three staff and one advisor. I’m for competent/careful use of public money,but the idea that a Govt Minister should not have staff at a key international event is just nonsense.

Now list all the Republicans that previously said Trump was a ‘bigot’ ‘a con artist’ ‘heroin’ - L Graham, M Rubio, JD Vance - who now treat him like a god. Maybe conservative software is better? Honestly, when you tweet this stuff I just really want to find out who funds Iona🤷‍♀️
