Dunnes says it’s going to invest €15m to refurb its store at Foyleside including a new cafe. (If you haven’t been in a Dunnes recently their fit outs & merchandising are really good.)

@PaulGosling1 Rates Rates Rates. Vat. 13.5% going to 9% in July in ROI. How do you compete in Derry?

In one week Derry has lost Pike N Pommes, Synge & Byrne, Maiden Heaven. This is bad.

@DublinAirport Why should an airport automatically mean a pint should be more expensive? Same shit as “it’s a hotel” wtf difference is it..

Try not to be offended by an airport! (please) Did we miss anything?

@henrywinter Paul Tislade should be sacked - we’ve played and recruited players for a back 4 for 15 years and then bring in someone who doesn’t coach that system.

Martin O’Neill got a tune out of Celtic players (7 wins from 8). Same players now look confused and unconvinced by Wilfried Nancy and his system. People say Nancy has lost the dressing-room. Did he ever have it? Can he possibly turn it around? Process is one thing but Celtic’s ethos is winning. Should the board and Paul Tisdale give Nancy time or swallow their pride, cut their losses (4/4 so far) on Nancy and ask O’Neill to rescue them again? Btw credit to Dundee United. #CelticFC

@AndTheTeam @RobbieSavage8 What kind of surface is it Ewen?

@darrellcurrietv Can you DM me

Morning. A tough interview for me to do. It’s been a challenge these last few years. Chronic health issues mean you have short windows in which you can speak out, when you feel up to it. But it’s important to tell a story if it can help other people. I know many are suffering out there with undiagnosed medical problems. It’s a daily nightmare. We can’t give up though and we have to fight on for answers and for our family. You can hear more tonight but please get in touch if you’re struggling. I’ll help in any way i can. I’ve learned a lot about health these last few years. You quickly understand what’s really important in life. ❤️

@alancaw Take your Drogheda glasses off 🤣

Brilliant interview. Buzzing for the penalty shootout, embraced it and wanted to be the hero. Fair play to him he was all night!

Flying the plane home empty while your customers go half way around America to get home? What sort of service is this..

The way you’ve treated your Nashville customers on yesterday’s flight is no less than a disgrace @AerLingus @conor_pope families/groups left stranded and told to sort themselves out.

@celticbars any bars in Budapest to watch the dead rubber?

@SineadAoibheann Welcome to use a cinema screen if any use to you

Trying to get a small city centre space in Derry for a public meeting on the Northlands issue. Can't see more than 30-40. Doesn't need to be huge or free but can't afford to pay hotel prices. Any suggestions?

@liam_shiels Do you do Coors on tap lad 😂

Coming soon to the old Rafters Derry!

@GAHargan Haha I’m only on the wind up!

Mixed views in Derry over Greggs (sausage) rolling into town - (I'll get me coat). Boojum learned the hard way when it tried to move in on Guapo's turf for a Mexican showdown. Greggs is grand, had it when away places. But important to back long-standing local bakeries imho 🙂

Open the bloody shops at 9am then!!

@bradley_steve @doire_la @NIFLGrounds @ATGroundsNI @betweenstripes @BlogIrish @derrycityfc @LOICentralPod @Irish_Grounds @McDonnellDan @derryjournal @DerryNow 2, on revenue. Also with my Derry City hat on I can assure you we don’t have a begging bowl approach. We want to make a stadium that the whole city can be proud of, and we want to do that with as little obstacles as possible.

@bradley_steve @doire_la @NIFLGrounds @ATGroundsNI @betweenstripes @BlogIrish @derrycityfc @LOICentralPod @Irish_Grounds @McDonnellDan @derryjournal @DerryNow Sorry Steve, the begging bowl approach? Elaborate on that. Tell me another night time economy in Derry that is delivering 4000+ people every other Friday night who are spending money in Pubs/restaurants/cafes/shops/takeaways. I know directly now this can have a positive affect

New stand at Brandywell Stadium continues to motor along👍 Three-quarters of the frame is now in, along with half the concrete terracing. I reckon the rest of the frame & terracing will be in by end of Nov. The extent to which it changes the look of the stadium cant be overstated

@RyanMcAleerbiz Pity they don’t take the stansted route back

Ryanair say it is on course to increase traffic at City of Derry Airport by 66% this year (up from 56k to 93k passengers). It says the CoDA to Manchester route is one of its most in demand routes (90%+ load factor).

@celticbars best Celtic pub in Rome?
