No-one should have been under any illusions about the tyranny of the Assad regime. Yet Irish TDs visited Syria under Assad & 1 of them remains in the Dail. @catherinegalway should apologise to the Syrian people for her support of the regime.

@Healyhack Congratulations Paul on superb reporting and analysis as always. We need more of you.

Conor McGregor appears to have deleted a series of tweets tonight. One of which was bizarrely aimed my way but anyway… He’s due back in court next week over costs and we’ll cover that in the same unbiased way as ever. In the meantime, where does one get decent deodorant? 😄
