The language around indoor dining regulations is really disturbing, I’ve seen several people compare it to Nazi Germany and even more using ‘pro choice’ and trying to apply the Repeal rationale to this situation. It’s scary….these are temporary measures, can we just get a grip?
One of the most powerful moments ever broadcast on Irish television being re-shown here on RTE. You cannot listen to him without tears in your eyes.

After two series on The Rotunda, I thought I knew the place pretty well. Last weekend, I saw from the other side how special
@RotundaHospital
really is.
Thank you for bringing my lockdown buddy into this world 💙
Had to laugh at
@SecondCaptains
chat on snobbery of Irish players towards LOI managers. Half that Irish squad will never get near the Europa League group stages & the other half started in LOI. As Ken says, if you think you’re above taking orders from Stephen Kenny, get the boat.
Clubs like Pats have been trying to upgrade their stadium & facilities for years, hitting brick walls when it comes to planning & funding, the time for investment is now! The market is there! We need proper funding for the LOI to build on the incredible groundwork done by clubs!
Last ten FAI Cup final attendances:
2013 - 17,573
2014 - 17,038
2015 - 25,103
2016 - 26,400
2017 - 24,210
2018 - 30,412
2019 - 33,111
2020 - 0*
2021 - 37,126
2022 - 32,412
2023 - on course to sell out.
Roughly - and I stress roughly - an 135.29% increase in ten years.
Remembering the time I asked a customer in a shamrock rovers jacket if he needed help finding anything and added ‘like a better team to support?’ He screamed at me to F off and I scurried off the shop floor in shock & my Co-worker came to check if I was ok, and now we’re married

Do you or your family have stories from the Irish Civil War that were passed down from previous generations? Would you like to share those memories to be preserved in a national archive? We'd love to hear them.

Justin Barrett and Gemma O'Doherty do not represent the Irish people. Today as I was walking by he was shouting in a megaphone about 'uncivilised' people coming here. The only uncivilised people I see are those who've nothing better to do than disturb residents & spout nonsense.
If anyone else is sick of having hate fuelled rhetoric spewed on Barrow st on a daily basis, please ring Dublin City council and make a noise complaint! The Gardai can’t do anything, if we want these awful demonstrations to stop we need to call DCC!
@aislingmkeenan
WFH…we had a baby during covid and have got to see him so much more than we would if we were commuting each day. During those first few weeks it was invaluable having my husband working from home, even if it was just for 5mins to let me have a shower😅
And yet when an opportunity is presented on a plate to have a world class stadium built in addition to social amenities and housing in D8, at no cost to them, DCC can’t be bothered 🤷♀️ if they’d given the green light when it was proposed, it’d be ready next year. Such a waste

@itsshannondolan
My auntie was in Lillehammer & brought me a little doll back. I brought it into class, stood up & told everyone a long story all about my weekend in Lillehammer. All went well until I got carried away and said my luggage fell out of the plane on the flight home.
What a day, what a team, what an occasion. I was living abroad for our last final and watched it on the Rte player in the middle of the night. Today I got to sit pitchside with my family and watch Pats lift the Cup. A special moment
Between Redress last night and

tonight, it reinforces how Irish production companies and broadcasters are making important, sensitive programming which reflects our society, gives people a voice and tells the stories that need to be heard.

Worked in HMV, a lady asked for 'scary music', I sold her a Hween CD, she returned it complaining she didn't like it because it didn't sound like Robbie Williams. It was still in it's plastic wrapping, unopened.
Sitting here with tears in my eyes watching Amber Barrett’s interview. Such an emotional goal to have scored on so many levels. I wish my 9 year old self playing on the boys team, or even my 20 year old self playing in DCU, had these girls to look up to!! 🇮🇪

came across the story of an American guy who interviewed survivors of the Irish Civil War in 1972. We tracked him down, met him in Berlin, and vowed to do something with his story. In 2022 he came back to Ireland for the first time
So many people volunteered their time for the making of this video, too many to list. Volunteers are the heart and soul of League of Ireland clubs! Even got help from some talented non football fans - hopefully we’ve converted them and see them in Richmond Park soon 😊

@EmmaDabiri
I worked in Australia & a colleague complained that a note home from her kid’s playschool teacher had a spelling mistake in it. She said ‘well she’s Irish, so what do you expect?’
What she wasn’t expecting was to see me pop out from behind the photocopier saying ‘eh..sorry?’

I worked in HMV throughout college and had many similar experiences especially the Christmas Eve 5pm rush for the most popular albums and games of the year 🙄😅 we had a ‘westlife girl’ who was obsessed, and a woman who’d buy copies of Misery every few months
@RoyCurtis68
Roy, this was a attack by a group of Bohs fans on a venue full of Pats fans (inc families with young kids) having a pre game event. It was horrible - everyone has condemned it. It was not a full scale riot and your hysterical tweet implies Pats were involved in the planning

I held my newborn close to me in hospital after a scare this week. I couldn’t stop thinking about the mothers and babies in Gaza. Knowing my child was safe in my arms, I couldn’t even comprehend the pain being felt and how we are witnessing such atrocities play out in real time

In the segment, Michael puts a lot of v. honest & forthright questions to him as a frustrated renter himself. In the rest of the series, he interviews Rory Hearne,the Finnish housing minister re ending homelessness,people who can’t get mortgages - all part of a wider exploration.

I went to the doc in Sydney with a query about a mole on my leg. They inspected it, told me to come back in 1 hour to have it removed! Went straight to lab and got results two weeks later. Meanwhile letter from derma referral here arrived for me two years after I’d left Ireland

Phenomenal response to this. Dublin commuters are deadly!! Over €1800 raised in two hours from people waiting for their trains at Pearse Station last night. All proceeds straight to helping the homeless through Focus Ireland. Amazing generosity 💛
Research for new tv documentary. Looking to speak to former footballers, who moved from Ireland to UK clubs as teens before returning home, about the challenges and experiences they had. Can be recent or 40 years ago! Pls DM me or pass on to anyone who has a story to tell. Cheers
Can’t wait for the league opener tonight!! Happy

You mean the freedom and independence we gained from Britain nearly 100 years ago after centuries of oppression? Serious question, do you get taught Anglo-Irish history at ALL in school? Honestly? I mean, maybe your quite frightening ignorance isn’t actually your fault?
