I heard Catherine Connolly got off the bus and didn't thank the driver.

First thoughts on the @rte schedule shake-up:
1. Where the feck are Sarah McInerney & Cormac O hEadhra & why move them?
2. Morning schedule sounds better.
3. Know nothing about new Liveline presenter.
4. Sports prog - every bloody evening at 6? W/e wall to wall bad enough.

The new schedule announced on @rteradio1.bsky.social today is so dull. There will be an hour of sport from 6 to 7 every evening. This is in addition to the blanket coverage on Saturdays and Sundays. Boring, boring, boring ... 😴

#Tralee railway station yesterday. The outbound 3.05 train did not depart on time because the incoming train had still not arrived at 3.15. No information provided, no staff to be found. Ticket office closed. Car park chock-a-block. Lousy service from @irishrail.bsky.social.

The service is terrible, completely unreliable. Buses are frequently late or cancelled altogether. And the tracking app is useless. Other countries get their public transport right. Why can't Ireland?

The #CorkCity 208 #BusÉireann bus didn't arrive as scheduled this morning on Bridge Street (the stop just before St. Patrick's Street) at 8.04; all the way until about 8.56! Bus Éireann lets down so many people trying to get to jobs in the morning, it's an absolute joke. #Cork #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

@irishrail.bsky.social Why don't you provide an option on your ticket machines for senior citizens with travel passes? How are they supposed to know that they can board the train without a ticket if you don't make it clear? Your customer care leaves an awful lot to be desired. #IrishRail

I see the "patriotic" flag shaggers have been plastering the #Cork quays with Republic of Ireland tricolours, slavishly following the lead of the UK fash. Irony doesn't begin to cover it.

#FiannaFail backed the wrong horse in this race, as did #FineGael. Neither candidate inspires confidence.
