An oil on canvas painting of a woman dressed in a beautiful white or silver gown in the style of the 1800s, sitting on a large and plush couch, holding a large wooden harp in her lap that she is playing as she looks directly at the artist. There are volumes of velvet curtain behind her, a book of music on the couch next to her, and other rich looking furnishings around the room.

Today we’re sharing this beautiful portrait of Miss Catherine O’Conor and her harp for our second post in #MusicMarch!

Did you know that Ireland is the only country to have a musical instrument (the harp) as its national symbol?

Irish Americans have finally had an idea that is worse than the Hunger Strike Commemorative Plate. And yes, that was real.

Dr Assal Rad—

"In case you can’t tell by reading this post, Israel killed almost 400 people, including 83 children, in Lebanon this week."

The cartoon characters Pinky and The Brain are shown in a cage.

Al Jazeera cracked this "enigma":

This school had many daughters of military officers and soldiers. The idea was to attract them to the school, strike it to draw in rescuers and relatives, and then strike it again to kill them.

President Catherine Connolly has warned the catastrophic consequences of violating the UN Charter cannot be ignored.

A tale of two Taytos: How an anthropomorphic crisp became a symbol for Irish identity How a half-man half-crisp in a suit became a symbol of the Irish diaspora—and an important part of the Brexit deliberations

In advance of #stpatricksday, here's a thread of essential articles about Irish stuff which you can present to international friends who wish to understand us better.

First up: a tale of two Taytos, by Róisín Lanigan.

Grieved? In his stupid cap , for deaths he caused ?

He stands there with a baseball cap, giving a meaningless salute , never having served . A short while late he posted a ridiculous rant about how he was going to be an “ honoree” at a dinner .

I taught in the school there , briefly in the late 1980s . There was still a stove and the toilets were across the yard .

They're stealing the voice of Sinead O'Connor, who risked her own career in 1992 by speaking up about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, so let's make this theft an occasion to keep talking about Trump in the Epstein files.

Second half was awful .

So this mystery cargo plane with no destination or departure listed, left Ramstein airbase a couple of hours ago and is brazenly breezing over Dublin….

But of course we are still neutral, even when it breezes back, fully laden with bombs to blow up more schools…

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Amusing to hear Sky News constantly referring to the “ special relationship “ with Trump’s America, as if it was a positive. #NeverNotAtIt.

But did the murdered children condemn Hamas ?😡😡😡
