Would love to see Ireland following Australia’s lead on this 🤞🏻 www.rte.ie/news/ireland... #speirgorm

Ireland should consider u16 social media ban - Tánaiste

Serious consideration should be given to banning under-16s from using social media, similar to a law passed last year in Australia, according to Tánaiste Simon Harris.

A few things the two racist rapists in the Oval today will never understand:

St. Patrick was an immigrant.

St. Patrick's Day has travelled the world thanks to Irish immigrants.

#StPatricksDay is an immigrant's holiday about an immigrant.

☘️ It is a celebration of immigration ☘️

Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead.

Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.
