“It looks like they hate immigrants. Well I am an immigrant, and I did what I could to try and save that little girl." This is Caio Castro Menezes Benicio, the hero who stopped the Parnell Square attacker today

The 43-year-old dad of two saw the incident unfolding, got off his bike, and used his helmet to stop the attack.

Imagine if the lad involved in the Tullamore killing gets off because you shared his name and image. This CAN happen. Don't be a gobshite and post it here.

I can’t help but wonder would it be at all possible for every cinema in the country to air Catherine Ferguson’s Documentary Nothing Compares in a sort of collective honouring? I hope she knew how much we loved her. #SineadOConner #Sinead

To all newsdesks covering #SineadOConnor how about having women on to talk about her and not 100% men and male media and djs who ridiculed her during her career. Have some respect and listen to the voices and generations of women she inspired. Her legacy will last many lifetimes

Sinead: and she was the first to talk about abuse in the Catholic church - tearing up the picture of the Pope on TV - but 99% of the music industry hung her out to dry. She was decades before her time, and fearless. Rest in power, queen.

Sinead’s courage to speak out, to speak her truth cannot be underestimated. A nation mourns tonight. I hope her family’s request for privacy will now be respected.

The irony of it all is that stress affects blood sugars. My pharmacist is an absolute legend and does his absolute best to get my medication for me. However between this and shortages of Ozempic makes managing my invisible disability rather stressful. #diabetes

I’m Type 1 Diabetic 34 years. My insulin delivered through a pump 24/7 quite literally keeps me alive. I have enough stock for now but this supply shortage is frightening to be quite honest. 1/2
Novo Nordisk Limited, Ireland advises of a stock shortage of the NovoRapid® (insulin aspart) 100 units/ml solution for injection in vial, which is used to reduce high blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. Return to stock level is expected in early August 2023.

We wish to notify all customers supplied by Tullamore South and Clonaslee Water Supply that following remedial works and satisfactory sampling results, the Boil Water Notice is now lifted with immediate effect. See https://t.co/0L18ziT1fl.

Kate is one of the nicest hardest working people you could meet. It takes real courage to share an awful incident like this. One of I’m sure hundreds more. It’s just not good enough that people can’t go out in public without being harassed.
Being a person like me walking around the city I love and just enjoying time to myself and I’ve to deal with this shit? Dublin is not safe for people like me, in broad daylight, 4.45pm

My poor mum has been buying bottled water for the guts of a month in Tullamore. No word from @IrishWater on when the issue will be resolved. It’s costing a small fortune & is far from eco-friendly. Surely we should be past this in 2023?

Right so I’m late to this I know, but I’m trying to register for Taylor Swift tickets. Has the site crashed? @TicketmasterIre

I’m ten years in Leinster House and I’ve never seen a minister simply agree to take on a good opposition idea. Today it happened, because of the stubborn campaigning of a 12-year-old who just wants the best for her little brothers. Well done, Cara.

Listening to @morningireland ‘s piece on phone free gigs. I’m curious how other diabetics feel about it? I use my phone to keep an eye on my blood sugars. I don’t do it for fun but to ensure I stay well. I can’t say I like the idea of being prevented from doing this. 🤔

Public Service Announcement: For the love of whatever you believe in could people please start looking where they’re going before walking out into the middle of the road. Driving is like a game of dodge the pedestrian at the moment.
