Ursula von der Leyen has grossly overstepped her position. She has no authority to speak for Irish Europeans on foreign policy. I've just written to all our Irish MEP's urging them to take action. Letter and emails 👇 if anyone wants to do same #NotInOurName

We are friends of Israel. When friends are under attack, we stand by them. Israel has the right and duty to respond to Hamas’ act of war. We call for the immediate release of all hostages taken by Hamas. @Isaac_Herzog @EP_President

What with the Phoenix Park row back earlier this week, and now the Strand Road decision, you'd be forgiven for thinking that wealthy people hold some sort of disproportionate influence over the public realm

📢 Nuacht an lae ó Foclach, a chairde. De bharr an trácht dochreidte ard atá ar an tsuíomh Foclach le cúpla lá anuas, le 7000+ duine éagsúil ag imirt gach lá, agus an figiúr sin ag ardú leis, bhí orm an cluiche a aistriú anonn go freastalaí nua thar oíche.

@williewhite I've seen this methodology recommended before 1. Learn how to say the alphabet, like *really* learn how to hear and make the sounds 2. Find the 400 most used words in the language and make cards with a picture on the front and the word in Gaeilge on the back (No English)

@dublinbusnews @AlanDub13 He's already submitted the details. It's all there in the video. When I plan my cycle routes I work out in advance if I can avoid roads where busses are, because my honest experience is that this sort of behaviour by DB drivers is the norm rather than the exception.

@OConnorOisin I'm living very close to where this accident happened. I have to take my life in my hands when walking to the shops. No footpath on the 80km road. Apparently there is no footpath BECAUSE it's an 80km road and it would be too dangerous.
