Cycling #eurovelo 1 #Kenmare to #Waterville by eBike - it takes the inland route that’s off the Ring of Kerry but includes three spectacular passes on very quiet roads - so quiet there are no shops or pubs directly on the route https://t.co/0rPdQgIjF7

I'm shocked Fine Gael picked John Clendennen to go out and defend the VAT cut he owns a pub and glamping business and was the president of the Vintners' Federation when he was elected. his sister replaced him on board after his term ended it's a VAT cut for him personally

Trying to tell us that leaving the triple lock means that countries will no longer have a 'veto' over our foreign policy while at the same time hoping we give in to the demands of 5% of the yank congress.
Two dozen American federal parliamentarians sending a clear message to Ireland over stance towards Israel. Whatever one thinks of the stance, Irish prosperity is at stake. Unless I missed, not considered newsworthy by the national broadcaster on main TV news. Needs deep public

Journalists you can also cover this as Irish secret police interfering in election of president. Who in our ‘special branch’ decided to do this and what should the consequences be for them and the branch in general. Because this is pretty unacceptable in several ways

🚨Israel is still unleashing criminal gangs to loot the overwhelming majority of the very little UN aid Isreal allows into Gaza (to maintain famine while blaming Gazans for their own starvation). Israel is still attacking any policemen who try to prevent the looting 30% of the

This isn't getting enough attention: Israel officially declared every single child, woman, elderly & man in Gaza city as a "terrorist," meaning legitimate targets for carpet bombing I have family & colleagues in Gaza city, inc. some with disability or pregnancies who can't flee

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer @MichelleMone - who today rightly (& wonderfully) lost her legal case - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What,

"The CEO of Dublin Town" should be shot with balls of his own shite. It's not a municipal role it's a self appointed group of reactionary business owners and quoting them in a headline in the national public media without disclosing this is grossly irresponsible

Governor of Utah, "I was praying that it was an immigrant." The USA is a hellhole, to smear immigrants like this on stage in front of the whole country when they had nothing to do with it. This is disgusting. https://t.co/7xRo7KkYK4
