This is highly effective. It will not just damage Starmer, but it will damage Reform in England especially.

This is shocking! We all remember Steve Scherer on @news.rte.ie giving reports. Why is a man of this calibre out of work? This does not reflect well on Reuters, or Canada, as it highlights the same lack of a social safety net as in the USA.

Bus privatisation has been a disaster for us, but this government is in denial.

I got contacted every week by people who have missed or are late to school, work, interviews, etc. as a result.

Gavin Newsom is totally right.

Europe, with a few notable exceptions, have been shockingly weak in the face of Donald Trump.
At Davos, Governor Gavin Newsom said European leaders were “complicit” and “pathetic” in how they handle President Trump, adding that he should have “brought a bunch of knee pads for them.”

We cannot keep pandering to Trump’s bully boy tactics.

He’s creating global chaos and we have to finally say enough is enough.

We need strong leadership.

@chrissiehynde.com Can you solve a question that has run in Dublin since 1980. This record, Go Now, by The Features, was heavily played on Dublin pirate radio stations that summer. DJs had to keep repeating that it was not you. m.youtube.com/watch?v=FMnk... Did you ever do a cover? You should do.

I am astounded that neither @news.rte.ie nor @irishtimes.com have yet picked up on or reported the death yesterday of Mickey Brady, a legendary MP and MLA who represented a constituency just 90 km outside Dublin. Or is there a policy to ignore such news? It’s all over social media.

@irishrail.bsky.social Where updates should be. Not on Twitter.
January 13, 2026 at 5:14 PM
@irishrail.bsky.social I was informed by Iarnród Éireann this morning, on another platform which most users in Ireland have left (source: The Journal poll January 12 2026) that this is not an official account. I have asked Iarnród Éireann to please post updates here, not on Twitter.

Everyone should watch questions in Dáil Éireann, and Statements on for example European affairs. Forget about RTÉ News and Virgin News and the print media. Get on Channel 207 on Virgin Media or equivalent on Sky or Saorview. It is riveting. See what the Government is not doing.

Today’s collection of broken glass from Portmarnock Velvet Strand, Dublin’s Premier swimming strand. Come on folks, this is really dangerous and needs to stop.
March 22, 2025 at 3:08 PM
‬⁩@fingal.ie Brilliant work on the new path and steps at the second Portmarnock Strand entrance. No excuse now for dog walkers to encroach on the swimming reserve here with this by pass in place.
March 15, 2025 at 2:26 PM
@fingal.ie and citizens of Dublin. This is the amount of broken glass that I have spotted and picked up to bin it, from one walk on Portmarnock Velvet Strand. This, and the dog roaming and fouling in the swimming reserves, must stop.

Time for Irish reunification. On Friday, vote first for parties and individual candidates who explicitly support reunification and advocate for it. Oppose the far right charlatans who have been set up by outside influences to stop us.
