Waitress here that doesn't get paid overtime. When we close I'm closing and I'm not hanging around. I'd be incredibly rude if some entitled person came in past closing, expecting to be provided a service I'm not getting paid for. Waiting staff are workers, not your servants.
When you walk in a restaurant at 9.10 in Dublin and the waiter looks at their watch you feel really welcome. When they tell you they're about to close but you can sit, it makes you feel like they don't want your money. When they turn up the lights when you and others are sitting
Why am I seeing Swifties from the UK trying to to get tickets for Dublin? You have NINE gigs, we have TWO. Are youse not done stealing our stuff yet orrr 🤨
I asked Brits to refer to the Taoiseach as the Taoiseach and not as PM under a tweet and apparently respecting another culture is just a step too far for them

on the possibility of 24-hour vaccination centres following a proposal to the HSE by NPHET.
#IrlAM
I have possibly got Covid and caught it in work. My PPE isnt good and I serve mainly elderly people who won’t wear their masks over their nose or at all. Chest is in bits - but yes, send me in on the 19th of July with no vaccine date in sight to serve the vaccinated
I was drunk at Spanish Arch once getting into a taxi to go home w my friend and a GROUP of lads started yelling at us to have sex w them and one even tried pulling me out of the taxi.
It was a group of guys, egging each other on. This is a man problem.
Bring back the National Song Contest for Irish
#Eurovision
selection!! For decades it was how we choose our entries and we got 7 winners out of it. It was a huge STANDALONE TV event that the best acts in the country entered year after year and it had huge viewership
I live here, and it’s been really hard to stomach the last few days - and I say fáilte roimh cách. These people are doing Connemara a huge disservice by refusing to extend what was once refused to us. Shame on that councillor for getting into this farce.
I am seriously not seeing Irish leftists blaming Ukraine for this 💀 We are witnessing a huge imperial power invade a sovereign country and THATS your response??
The Irish media needs to do their job and listen to NUIG students - there is a colossal amount of evidence coming out today that NUIG are putting students in danger and ignoring them, the whole country needs to hear and see this
People trying to make the Sligo murders about race haven't and would never stand with LGBTQ+ people but now they suddenly give a shite.
One person did this. Stand with us on changing RSE in schools if you really care so much.
People yapping about "experience" love to ignore the fact that hospitality in Ireland is carried on the backs of underpaid and overworked teenagers and college students. Pay us more and then I'd probably be more obliging??
Would just like to say that I’m a 1st year in NUIG and all I want is to be on campus so I can make friends but the pricks in Spanish Arch have possibly just added 3 months of pure fucking loneliness to my life so ye can all go screw it xx
Is leaving cert history still like that exam from star trek where it's impossible finish and marks are basically awarded for how valiant your failure was?
One thing I HATEEE about living at your parents’ home is wanting to take a mental health day, do fuck all and see no one, but your parents deciding that’s the day they’re going to stay at home and interrogate their child’s life choices
i'd vote for michael d over and over again if i could. a president that actually is here to serve the people, not act as a mouthpiece for our disaster of a government (and their most vocal proponents of his resignation are UNELECTED i might add)
Of all the people who don’t deserve a couple of hundred grand in RTÉ Joe Duffy is the number one. His show has become incoherent and a platform for misinformation and dangerous hate filled rhetoric. He’s not worth anyone’s money anymore.
I am so fucking angry. I’m going to have to serve vaccinated people while unvaccinated for weeks on end with no vaccine being made available to me, despite being on the frontlines now. Fuck the government for their treatment of workers and young people
#indoordining
Just rang the HSE Helpline and read the government’s statement below ⬇️ was told that the HSE still don’t have a date for this and that the government were essentially giving a random date. Another brilliant example of young people being tossed aside again during the pandemic
We're the first generation to be worse off than our parents, but it's all good because we have iPhones. Maybe I'll play some Candy Crush when I'm waiting for my flight when I emigrate in a few years time.

She also murdered thousands of Irish people in an effort to push them off their land and replace them with English tenants but yayyyy she never got married go her

@DublinPride
needs to get it together and vet all the political parties that want to take part.
Ask them straight out do they want to ban conversion therapy. If it's anything other than a yes, they shouldn't be allowed take part. Same goes for their policy on the NGS, etc.
I just personally find it weird how the local FF/FG people never canvassed our house because they knew my parents wouldn’t vote for them but as soon as I turned 18 before GE2020 they canvassed us. They must have got that information from somewhere !
Leo Varadkar’s fixation on Mary Lou and Holly Cairns as opponents is mainly the fact that they’re women who are a threat to his power, in this essay I will—
@chris86cor
We have a time we stop seating and a time we actually close the doors. You’d be shocked the amount of people that throw a tantrum when they cant come in after we stop seating people. I deal with it almost every week.
Sack the Eurovision team at
@RTEOne
, every single country puts GENIUNE effort into their national selections and gets rewarded for it - just LOOK at the UK who were the joke of the contest for almost a decade. We’re the joke now.
#Eurovision
#Eurovision2023
Cant be there today but the GALL of them hosting their Ard Fheis in our university when they have us paying the most expensive fees in Europe and a percentage of students sleeping in cars, tents, hostels etc.
I geniunely wondered about this too. I’m boycotting Eurovision for this year and for the forseeable future because of Israel’s involvement and I’ve been wondering does the same apply to the Olympics this summer? I’d appreciate any insight so I know ahead of time
Hey
@uniofgalway
remember when you allowed this fella to bulldoze over our right to feel safe on campus and corralled students into disciplinaries because we made fun of him? Cause I do
While our leftist Students' Union
@NUIGSU
promotes LGBT non-stop on campus, anyone of a different view is mocked and intimidated. Its time for real change. If elected as your VP for Welfare & Equality, I'll deliver welfare for the many, not the few.

Why do I get to sit at home and do my exams online when another student has to go and sit in a hall with 500+ other students
#NUIG
are ridiculous

Claire Byrne doing a segment on saving money through cutting out subscriptions, I’m gonna be sick
Government should be sorting this out, not us sacrificing the little joys we have in our life

I can’t think of a single person I’m more grateful to than
@PantiBliss
I was a closeted kid during Pantigate + the marriage referendum and she was that presence on Irish TV that showed me you could grow up to be beautiful, happy, Irish and gay
Thank you Panti ❤️
#DWTSIRL
The fact that a celebration of all the good the GFA did was beaten by a skit from the Jubilee tells you all you need to know about the UK and how it sees Northern Ireland
I love how everyone threw themselves back into training for the 2018/19 season and the Canadians were just like "Nah fuck that we’re going on a roadtrip"
