Shamrock Rovers fans on plane informed me of another big result in Vienna.

Beer in ground included €2.50 deposit on glass that most were unaware of. Young Rovers fan (U-12) spent most of game scooping up discarded empties & presented them at f/t.

The €425 should cover his next trip

As noted by @mjnews.bsky.social in her first general election column for the Business Post-

"Harris risks becoming a solitary figure, shouldering the weight of the campaign and, if things go wrong, the blame."

McIlroy chokes back a few tears after signing off the year with a deserved win- he was ludicrously consistent over the year, really. Tom McKibbin also birdies the final hole to grab the last of the PGA Tour cards on offer for next year

Pledged spending is more than Fianna Fáil. #GE24
