David Nihill tells the story of Dublin's Grapefruit Ladies.On 19 July 1984, Mary Manning, a 21-year-old shop worker in the Henry Street, #Dublin outlet of #DunnesStores, refused to handle the sale of grapefruit from #SouthAfrica. She was joined by other workers, and the strike lasted until April 1987 when the Irish government banned the importation of South African goods.Manning and her colleagues gained global recognition, and personal thanks from #DesmondTutu and #NelsonMandela.

The @dublininquirer crew are looking for help: "Will you help us with a reporting project? We want to test whether an self-checkout service at a Dublin shop is consistently flagging people with darker skin for extra checks. "We're looking for people with all different shades of skin to go in and buy a small item, on us, and let us know if you were flagged for extra checks."To get involved, email lois@dublininquirer.com#Dublin #MastoDaoine #AntiRacism

Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I and modelled after the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Trinity College is Ireland's oldest university. You can visit the campus grounds and it is worth it! #Dublin #Ireland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland/Day4/#541

Folks, big ask for @joynewacc from Gaza (and my partner at Gaza Verified) who wants to study abroad:Do you have any connections at Trinity College Dublin and/or UCD?Joy’s already applied at UCD and we’re awaiting a decision. We also already have a contact there but more wouldn’t hurt.We can’t seem to reach anyone at Trinity for help in having her apply. Ideally English/English Literature.Please feel free to direct message me if you like.And thank you!#Gaza #Palestine #academia #Ireland #Dublin #TrinityCollege #UCD #GazaVerified

Phoenix Park is a park with large grassland areas and tree-lined roads outside of Dublin�s busy downtown area. The name comes from the Irish word fhionnuisce = clear or still water. How did you like the park? #Dublin #Ireland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland/Day1/#513

The first structures of Dublin Castle were built in 1204. A fired destryed most of it in 1684 and it was then transformed into a Georgian palace that you can visit. It is a must-see in Dublin. How did you like it? #Dublin #Ireland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland/Day2/#525

Established by the Gaels during or before the 7th century, Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland. There is so much to see that we provide several self-guided walking tours of Dublin. How do you like it? #Dublin #Ireland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland/Day2/#52
