"Rural TDs are almost sneered for saying people should be allowed burn turf or drive diesel cars without being vilified. But that depiction is just plainly unfair."

This is a powerful piece of writing from Joe Drennan's best friend @elliemccarthy__ It is raw, honest and poignant; a real emotional gut punch. Joe certainly lives on when words like these are inspired by him and his spirit.

@TerenceR78 He was lauded by the GAA when he was handed an All-Star seven months after being convicted. Jarlath Burns personally handing him the award.

"Kyle Hayes and other county hurlers and footballers are role models. End of. Children aspire to be just like them; emulating their skills, buying the same boots. That influence doesn't end at a white line on a GAA pitch. Jarlath Burns should know that."

"Kyle Hayes was convicted over an incident which saw a young man kicked on the ground, suffering a broken eye socket. He was given a two-year suspended prison sentence. Seven months later, he was handed an All-Star by Jarlath Burns. How does that tally?"

@francescrowley A gentleman. I interviewed Pat just once when I was a very young reporter. Despite being busy, he gave me as much time as he would with far more experienced colleagues. He was one of Offaly and Ireland's finest ambassadors and sportsmen.

@annacooban @CNN Hi Anna, your DMs are not open. I'd love to talk about the Irish property market and the Help To Buy Scheme as a recent purchaser of a new home here.

This moment with Kellie and Zaur dancing is my favourite of the Olympics so far. Pure unbridled joy after years and years of hard work. It all came out in a dance. #Kellie

The more I listen to Darragh Maloney rave about how great this Olympics #OpeningCeremony is on RTE, the more I think he has to be masterfully veiling sarcasm. It is utter shite.

All this was written about RTE and here we are a year after their scandal was laid bare. The Director General from that time hasn't answered for a single part of the multifaceted wrongdoing and what is our Govt's answer? Give them more of taxpayers' money.
