Let no man throw a stone at the foreigner; he may hit his own clan.

Can she expect solicitors papers from @paulmurphy.pbp.ie?

TBF, there was zero chance of two Labour seats in Galway West, so very much a case of throwing toys out of the pram on that occasion.

About the only worthwhile data in it is that Humphreys can't bridge the gap solely through FF voters (she gets 45%, but Connolly picks up 22%), but needs a huge chunk of the undecideds.

Humphreys would seem to require either Gavin's entire support or an improbably large chunk of undecideds to win.

I think he's more saying that Humphreys hasn't done anything to earn his support, rather than actively endorsing Connolly.

The notorious @thejuicemedia.com has just helped the Government of New Zealand with a new tourism ad and it's surprsingly honest and informative!

Not sure how they got it past Luxon, Seymour and Peters though, OMG!

Sparrowhawks would certainly be the most common species here, and definitely has those colourings.

The Connolly campaign see the Presidency as an opportunity to further Catherine's lifelong mission of helping people. Fine Gael see it as a strategy game to be won at any cost. Straight from the horse's mouth #spéirgorm #Áras2025

60k extra on the electoral register augurs well.

Much like Anne Marie who replied to your OP, Connolly wouldn't have been my first choice of candidate, but in terms of left unity, and grassroot challenging of the status quo, the symbolism of her campaign is undeniable.

It must be said that Ireland has placed an emphasis on funding for the Arts long before the Celtic Tiger - Charles Haughey setting up the Irish Film Board in 1980s, and our current President establishing an Irish-language TV channel in the following decade.

The term "burger", in and of itself, is meaningless as a contraction, given the original word denoted that the dish came from Hamburg. By the logic of this decision, a "cheeseburger" should be composed entirely of cheese!

Even allowing for American owners, Burnley's still one of the old-school community clubs, naive though I may be on that score?
