@BankOnthe Hurling has embraced the tiered championship structure. Time to do the same in football.

This nonsense being spoken about again Its becoming increasingly diffucult for Managers in Div 4 counties to convince players to commit for the Tailteann Cup let alone a 3rd Div. Why can we not focus on supporting the Weaker counties more instead of cutting them off.

@DrewChaddock1 @Daniel_Rapaport There is a bunch of them with DP World Tour Cards. They can pivot straight away to play there and try to claim one of the top 10 spots available. Patrick Reed has one already locked in, but plenty of spots still there to play for

@Daniel_Rapaport If this thing shuts down and there are LIV players who want to come back, I think the PGA Tour should require all those LIV players have to go back to the Korn Ferry Tour and qualify to get their PGA Tour card back again.

If LIV does cease to exist, the biggest question is what happens with the players...but I think there's already a clear precedent with Reed. Sit out a year from your last LIV event and then you're free to return with whatever status you earn. Rahm, Bryson would still have status from their recent major wins. Not sure the tour really cares all that much about anyone else.

@LittleWrenhouse @FionnualaM Go look up the manifesto each party published before the last election. You will find that each of them included the retention of Carbon taxes.

@FionnualaM What mandates did the government have regarding carbon taxes. Every ffg rep told me that's the greens not us. We voted them out and here we are with no madate being robbed blind. I won't fall for that the nxt time. No trust left

@jamesfahey15 You can get a bottle of whiskey for around €25. There is not a €15 euro difference. You are quoting a price only available from the duty free Islands of the Canaries. Worth notin too minimum wage and average wage is much higher than Spain

We as a small island pay more taxes than any other country in Europe in everything a bottle of Whiskey that’s produced in Ireland is €15 cheaper in Spain wine that you pay €10 to €12 euros for is barely Fiver in Spain Cigarettes at €18 to €20 euro are €5 Rip of Ireland.

@RealEddieHobbs Good riddance to them. He really has an inflated sense of self importance

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Fuel Protest spokesman responds to over 300 Gardai taking O’Connell Street by force around 3 AM and shutting off all street access.

@TweeterAlliss Chicken fillet roll and a few bags of tayto on the side

I’d say dear Shane will have no problem serving Irish food at next year’s Masters dinner. Platters of spice bags and Guinness on tap, delicious.

@Ekelly6788 @corkbeo Protesters thinking they've sovereign rights over citizens. Clown on Liveline yesterday saying people with appointments were to contact them and they would let them pass on the motorway. Acting like lawful powers were granted to them, getting high on power

@corkbeo Protesters doing no harm being treated like this Absoulte disgrace by our government the right to protest isn’t respected this government would rather high taxes and people lose there jobs then give in at this stage this country is being run by children who don’t respect workers

@TheLiberal_ie One of the lowest comments yet on this. What a piece of trash the Liberal is. Hopefully the bride, and her Dad can enjoy the special day like every other family would.

BREAKING: Rumours circulate Micheal Martin’s daughter is getting married this weekend - during the fuel protests Imagine the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) at a wedding while the entire country is shutdown from the fuel protests. theliberal.ie/breaking-rumou…

@LukeColeman89 @andrewhdonohoe @BielsaBall Temporary seating was used in Croke park when we were playing soccer there while Lansdowne was redeveloped, so Uefa already permitted it.

@andrewhdonohoe @BielsaBall Sorry will have to dig out the more in-depth document but temporary seating is also prohibited and it’s why may German Stadiums have been discounted in recent years. It’s specific to UEFA (FIFA criteria slightly different)

Croke Park wants to be used for a CL final, but didn’t want to be used for Euro 2028 and it’s being used for summer friendly between two prem clubs this year. Make it make sense.

@simon1872 The Augusta National Golf Club puts restrictions on the broadcasting means only a limited amount of coverage is possible early on during the day. They are big on their traditions

Sky Sports pissing about again on their #Masters coverage. Play is already underway and they are just showing clips from last year and talking nonsense. Same as yesterday. Piss poor. Coverage from elsewhere blows it out the water.

@WhiteyVulgar69 @ger_cosgrove How do you think the people who work in the emergency services are going to get to and from thir workplace with no fuel for their vehicles in Rural Ireland. The ambulance or fire engine might have diesel, but they don't drive themselves

@ger_cosgrove Except no ambulances are being hindered. Do it over

When one of your relatives dies while waiting for an ambulance, on in the back of an ambulance or your pregnant wife hemorrhages in the back seat of your car, because you were blocked by an illegal truck or tractor. This is the individual you need to come looking for.

@RTEsport @IrishRugby @neil_treacy Twickenham never looked better 😉

@rtenews Who died and made him king?

John Dallon, one of the leaders of the fuel price protest in Dublin, has said that protesters will "close the country down" if necessary and were willing to stay in the capital for up to a month | Follow updates rte.ie/news/2026/0410…

@doubledub48 @stuartrobinson1 Kilkenny is a different tipple. It looks like a Smithwicks, but it has a smooth taste/texture. Its a bit like a hybrid of Guinness and Smithwicks

@stuartrobinson1 Bulmers - Magners Smithwicks - Kilkenny

Why these huge chain stores must have different names in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland….. but TAYTO doesn’t 🤔 👇

@CorkRulez76787 @higginsdavidw Just going to leave this here....

@higginsdavidw You're a lowlife shill. How many of those countries have a government sending billions abroad? How many are governed by FF/FG?

Second in the world for food security

@fyfe79 @FlanneryTony That is true. Government is about making choices on raising revenue & spending. However to infer the supply from Norway is unaffected is disingenuous. The Norwegian supplies are now in great demand, and oil is a global commodity hence the current price rise

@Micklyons33 @FlanneryTony It's still the governments decision to collect over 50% tax on fuel. With rising prices they could choose to lower rates. Instead we got added carbon tax in the last Budget and current inaction.

@fyfe79 @FlanneryTony It may have slipped your notice, but the price of that Norwegian Oil being traded on international energy markets is up about 70% since the start of the year.....but yeah it's all the government's fault

@FlanneryTony Nothing to do with Trump. We get almost all our fuel from Norway (that supply is unaffected by the Iran war). Our government just taxes us to hell. Their decision, nothing to do with outside factors.

@derekryan2026 @rtenews Yeah, no mention at all.......

@rtenews RTE hasn't mentioned the massive fuel protests going on in Dublin all day.. you are completely ignoring this protest because it makes FF and FG look bad

@AaronMaher95 It's standard for straight red cards to be followed up by a suspension, the severity of which is determined by the infraction. The disciplinary process isn't finished at the end of the game. Yellow cards however as you know tend to have no further punishment.

For the Donegal fans that are saying the matter was sorted on the field and case closed. What about the Ger Brennan incident? That was sorted on the field yet still a proposed 12 week ban
