Powerful photo on the front of The Irish Times this morning showing Garda Kevin Flatley’s colleagues mourning him at a memorial in Dublin Castle last night.

Chances are that if you’ve dialled 999, it has been a worrying moment in your life.
But for staff at the National Ambulance Service, such calls are a normal part of the 1,000 or so emergencies processed at their command and control centres every day.

I’ve made it, Florida Dave has seen the Smarties video 😎
Spice bag, no idea. Angelus is what is sung in church. Eejit, gobshite, and gowl are just words to describe our president-elect and his policies. As for your election, I watched a guy who used Smarties candy to explain it, so I understand as much about your system as the average Irishman does🤓

Sincere apologies to the amount of times I misspelled Kilanerin.
And Fionntán O Súillebháin of Sinn Féin. Hope he doesn’t mind me saying but it’s not the easiest name to spell in a rush at a count centre!
Hopefully I’ll be a Gaeilgeoir for the next election 🗳️ 🇮🇪
