@jackalexe They used to say that Irish senators loved going to America on official business, because the people there assumed they were politicians of great consequence. TDs on the same delegations were often treated like county councillors are here.

@FredPLogue @DPCIreland Was no consideration given by the temporal authorities to the developed theology and the consequent law of conditional sacraments?

@FintanOHiggins That's a pleasure denied me up to this. It's a most evocative name. Is she real or a character?

@AodhBC Have you ever met Brigie de Courcy? She's a person that unites opinion.

@NallyPjnal58175 @NewstalkFM I didn't know that.

Trinity College students have clashed with tourists as they blockade access to the Book of Kells this morning, as part of a ‘Freeze the Rents’ housing protest.

@NewstalkFM Many of the troublemakers in College are well-heeled articulate but merely recreational left-wingers. #Liveline

@SpectreOfCastro Galway again?

@ImogenForster2 That's Lord Powerscourt's forner town house, Powerscourt House, which is now a shopping centre, styled the Powerscourt Townhouse. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerscou…

@AodhBC What's the big building?

@Dailigh Of course, IFA used to be known as the National Farmers' Association: might they revert?

@MaryKenny4 twitter.com/VaticanNews/st…

When Mr Stallone met Pope Francis - did they speak in Italian? I always want to know what language people speak together, but it's never reported.

@paul__arbuthnot I have been poked in the back by strangers for being disrespectful by sitting and clapping, most recently in the Abbey.

Does *every* concert get a standing ovation now? Seems a bit OTT to me👏

@Mt_Briscoe @HeartlandsIRL @IrishOrganicA @LEOOffaly @NuffieldIreland @visitoffaly Are you accepting advance orders?

Picking these delicious damsons right now. Ripening earlier than last year as is everything. Soon to be made into a whole host of lovely goodies. #MountBriscoeorganicFarm #organicfarming #OrganicSeptember

The greatest Irish novels all concern the big house. Only there can characters of the cultural refinement and complexity of psychology necessary for the literary novel be credibly placed. There is a causal link between the loss of the big house and the decline of the novel.

Class distinction in gentry circles in Ireland: Elizabeth Bowen's grandmother in Kildorrery would receive barristers, but not solicitors, and wine merchants but not brewers, and she tolerated lowly Church of Ireland clergy. Terence Dooley's 'Burning the Big House.'

@tggleeson I put my name on the list on Friday and on Tuesday I got a mail with an appointment at the end of September.

What this is actually saying is the online booking system has now fully failed, this is the only way you'll get an appointment. Time for a reset? Cancel all appointments outside 2 months, increase 2yr and 1yr test years, new cars after 7 years, yearly tests for cars > 15 perhaps

@MyDubhLinn You're just shaming yourself in public by disclosing innocently that you don't understand how the democratic parties operate proportional representation by single transferable vote in multi-member constituencies. I won't tell if you want to delete your tweet: nobody saw it.

@AodhBC The counts last time around, how many do you think next time. 9 for Pascal and 15 for Simon I want to be the next leader Harris.

These bright young people are Ireland's future, and not the backward-looking fossils who disgraced themselves again last weekend in a field in county Leix.

@Doylers91 @sbprme Thanks Mary.

@AodhBC I know tweeting is your full time job and that you are an insufferable troll that no one should engage with but just for the record 🖕🏻you!! You disgusting vile individual 🤮🖕🏻

@DavidMuttering @SpectreOfCastro That's a different meaning of 'cleans up.' At a major event like that, they don't expect the participants to tidy up afterwards.

Typical. They wouldn't have made her do that if she were a man.

@TOwen2011 You may not be aware of the essential frugality of the people who have a stake in society, the people who established first the country and then the republic, and the people who built it up to what it is today.

@AodhBC Not even close to being representative of the youth of present day Ireland. I'd hazard a guess they spend more on one outfit than most here would earn in a week, easy when you're spending mummy and daddy's money

@anconnachtach Where is Astronomy Ireland when they're needed?
