Just off the @dublinbusnews Every single window was closed despite these stickers on each window. I wouldn’t mind, but so many people were coughing 😷 and sneezing. Why wouldn’t passengers open the windows? 🤷♀️It wasn’t that cold. Can people please just open the windows! 🙏

Thanks so much for all the messages of support & condolences over the past few days. On Dec 8th after a 2.5 year hard fought battle with cancer my dad bid his final farewell. We’ve lost the most incredible father, husband & above all else he was an unbelievable friend.

Had a childhood book kindly returned to me yesterday. Name, address, number the whole details inside the book for fear it would ever get lost. pretty sure my handwriting hasn't changed much over the years 😆.
Andrea Gilligan's childhood book was returned to her by a kindly stranger who spotted the inscription inside. Have you ever had something long-lost returned to you? @andreagilligan wants to hear your story.
