@DaraghCassidy Rural link services, while still not fantastic, have grown from nothing thanks to the greens

And before anyone comments on how crap public transport still is, my point is that it would be even WORSE had the Greens not been in government. Anyway, they'll regroup and be back at next election.

Have had a big love/hate relationship with the Greens in recent years. But still sad to see them decimated. They achieved some good things: 🗓️New public holiday 🚍€2 90-min fare ☀️Re-launch of micro-gen scheme 💨First offshore wind licence 🚊Progress with Dart+ & Finglas Luas

The media isn't doing a great job preparing people for how FF's 21% in the polls might lead to 48 seats, where as SF's 20% might lead to 34 seats. Or Aontu's 6% might lead to 1 seat, and PBP's 3% might lead to 4 seats. Only sane way to do it is look at constituency specific level

Answers??

Can't disagree with that comment below.

@EOBroin Yeah, not going there

We can do this. Momentum is with us. Change can happen. But only if you vote Sinn Féin this Friday.

@ORuaircA They could have (1) joined a party to change things from within (2) campaigned for different policies/approaches themselves (3) taken up employment in the trades,building homes, infrastructure,etc Or they could go to the land of sun and cheap wine. Our young chose the lazy option

Headline writers not messing about

@a_meadowsweet @garrethmcdaid NBS would be cheaper per month, with a better service... But ok

They’re too late. I’m rural, checked and checked with NBS for years, they were delaying dates yearly. Eventually got Starlink, sorted just like you. One day we had crap internet, the next it was all forgotten. Now NBS are finally installing the infrastructure to us and keep emailing, but it’s too late, loving Starlink 🤷🏻‍♀️.

The National Broadband Scheme is, as predicted, a massive white elephant. €3bn of taxpayers money sunk into a network that only 80k homes have connected to (€37k per home). The State could have bought a Starlink disk for each home at a cost of €300 per home.

The British state raised more revenue in 2023 from corporation tax paid by OnlyFans' parent company (£118m) than it did from North Sea oil royalties and license fees (£69m)

Rehearsals for tonight’s concert @NCH_Music with @samuelsofficial and the @rte_co featuring @maxrichtermusic’s Recomposed 4 Seasons sounding absolutely stunning.

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10

@BarackObama Maybe you shouldn't have screwed him over in 2016, and again now. In both cases for the benefit of Trump

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order. Here’s my full statement: barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-o…

Hurling appears to be a mix of UFC, rugby, hockey, football, baseball, the egg and spoon race all whilst hitting a snooker ball as hard as you can as high into the sky as possible towards goal with what looks like the bones of a tomahawk steak. 10/10. Would recommend #hurling

The American right's goal is creating a system of hereditary aristocrats, who govern without "limits", so that their power to extract wealth is checked only by rivalries with other aristocrats. The true, tactical significance of Project 2025 by @doctorow link.medium.com/CF7DMP48dLb

@IrishTimes Yes, because all the people driving through the city on their way to other places stop to buy things, while paying €€€/minute for parking
