Today the Irish government announced an increase in #plr payments. Of course any increase to the fund is welcome, but when you consider that the pool for PLR in 2009 was €350,000 and is just €240,000 today you can see why @WritersUnion_ie consider this derisory.

I have just received my Irish PLR statement. The borrowing rate for my books looks healthy but the statement is pretty pallid @WritersUnion_ie @conor_kostick @roifee

I'm very sorry to learn of the death of poet Fred Johnston. I'll especially remember him for the contribution of this beautiful poem to the Writers Against War anthology of 2003. @WritersUnion_ie @writing_ie @poetryireland @MartinDoyleIT @LJSedgwick @MarkGranier @maryodonnell03

There absolutely is. We are hosting a number of writer networking events shortly, for members and non-members, starting with one on 25th Sept in Rathmines Library. Love to see you there! irishwritersunion.org/events/

There is something special about meeting, talking to, listening to, and collaborating with other writers, across all genres and levels of expertise, that spurs on that drive to write. Thank you to everyone at the @IrishWritersCtr for creating and honouring these spaces.

Free the poet Ilhan Sami Çomak. He has served 30 years in prison. His parole was denied last week, after having been found to be a model prisoner, they went back to his first incarceration at 22 and claimed he'd 'shouted slogans 5 times' 'made a noise 4 times'. FREE HIM NOW!
