@belfaststephen @frank_broadcast @Translink_NI They have enough to cover more regular journeys during the week So they should've been able to provide a more regular service than every hour or put on more carriages. Dunmurry is less than 6 miles from the city centre They've known about this for a year Bad management 🤬

@frank_broadcast @Translink_NI Only so many train sets to go about

Has @Translink_NI failed you on route to The Fleadh? Parents with prams being refused due to packed train from Portadown. Train only had three carriages on possibily the busiest weekend of the year? Why such a short train? Advice is use public transport! Why limited carriages?

@CMacgafraidh @frank_broadcast @Translink_NI You can't expect a big event to have normal Sunday travellers, that's just bad planning on Translinks part They had less trains and may have got less flax if they'd put in 6 carriages. They been talking about the 6 carriage increase for this last 5 years. Should've been today

@frank_broadcast @Translink_NI Quite simple why Frank Because it’s an Irish culture event, therefore linked to nationalism and catholics. I mean it’s hardly surprising given where majority of the stations are. Bigotry pure and simple

@Andymc_7 @CMacgafraidh @frank_broadcast @Translink_NI 3 carriages is normal during the week However, noone expected low numbers of ppl going injury Belfast, in fact they're expecting very high numbers and didn't take that into account

@CMacgafraidh @frank_broadcast @Translink_NI I commute 3 days a week to Belfast. 3 carriages instead of 6 is a regular occurrence. It's nothing to do with bigotry.

@frank_broadcast @Translink_NI I ended up going and getting the car to drive down and back, meant I was only drinking Guinness 0.0 Especially bad on the opening day, should have had more carriages and more regular service

@frank_broadcast @Translink_NI That was my view also Still a Sunday service and there were around 60 to 70 ppl at my station (Dunmurry), only about 5 ppl could get on. 3 carriages and next train was an hour later Disappointed with Translink, especially as I'd bought my ticket

@Translink_NI Pity you've not put on trains with more carriages 3 carriages on the 13.14 at Dunmurry, about 5 ppl managed to get on Next train and hour later Disgraceful, I've bought a electronic ticket and can't use it, having to drive by car

Travelling during the Fleadh? Translink bus and train services will be running throughout the Fleadh, with some temporary adjustments in the city centre. Please plan ahead and check the latest travel information here: spklc.io/6184s6m #FleadhBelfast2026 #FleadhTravel

@Sriojoe @NME Nope , but this is instagram.com/reel/DGOg-bexX…

@NME Most beautiful political song since Russians by Sting - and far more courageous. Thank you King Boy George !

Boy George parts ways with “gutless” record label manager who refused to release pro-Israel song Tony Pontius reportedly told him he wanted "nothing to do with" the controversial 'We Will Dance Again' nme.com/news/music/boy…

@MidiaPetronilla This will be the busiest week in Belfast in a long long while and lets hope it shows the world how far we've come along. Bringing the BUZZ back to Belfast, lets face it, it's not been great since COVID days.

For several weeks the whole of Belfast has known about the disruption the Fleadh was going to cause, But Sammy's wife didn't believe it, and decided to have a wee look for herself.

@MidiaPetronilla I'm guessing they also believe that all businesses in the City centre and surrounding areas aren't going to benefit from the Fleadh. There will hopefully be lots of people from all communities along with visitors from abroad enjoying and bringing money into Belfast

@Busersen @BradyJames75955 So berry, you're some of your spare tickets away I suppose if you travelled all the way from north America, you must have really wanted to see them 😂

@BradyJames75955 My partner and I doubled up on tickets just to be safe now we’ve got a few spares to let go of happy to provide proof of purchase letting them go to someone who’ll actually enjoy the show!!😭🙏🏻

Hey if anyone wants three tickets for tonight's concert just DM me to set up time to pick them up free

@JustinBrannan @_ianbecker It's the audio from mid west radio overlayed with the last min or 2 of play

@_ianbecker I think this is just the audio of 2 lads watching the match at the pub

No clue what sport I’m watching here but “THE FAMINE IS OVER.. CURSE BE DAMNED… HIT THE NUCLEAR BUTTON” is the greatest call I’ve ever heard #ComeOnMayo

@mckenna67 @MayoGAA Give Kerry fans credit, they seem to have stayed around for the presentation and I've not seen a bad word from anyone from Kerry Seems nearly every man and his dog are delighted with Mayo's all Ireland win 🏆

@MayoGAA I know very little about GAA and it's history. Even less about Mayo... But, I am loving the joy it brings to everyone (apart from Kerry!)

Did everybody sleep well? 🔴🟢 #mayogaa #gaa

@xxl_pecunia @NoContextHumans Were you enjoying the action If so, give it a check a few more times, eventually like other sports you'll pick up the basics

@NoContextHumans I don't understand what I am looking at

What on earth is this sport?😭😭

@vinniemcdermott @SeamusjKearney OTT my arse, it's the passion that comes through on this

@SeamusjKearney So over the top it’s hilarious!!😂

Midwest Radio, the last two minutes of commentary before & after the final whistle. #Mayo #AllIreland

@JonBurrowsMLA Can you give an equip on how the patties voted in agreement with the DUP etc

In a democracy people can vote for whatever party they wish and parties can vote how they wish in legislative chambers. However, the public are entitled to know how the parties they give a mandate to use it. It’s time for change in our politics here. (Source Stormont Watch).

@Richard7T @BradyJames75955 I think you'll find it's funded by all of those in the north, nationalist, loyalists, catholic , protestant and others

@BradyJames75955 Funded by Unionist rate payers.

The final act at the falls park festival last night, letting unionist politicians know that there time is up and Ireland will finally be united, Lady's and gentlemen Time to say goodbye

@loud_silence88 @Javoudria And it's not hating of Protestant's either

@Javoudria Need to be over 16 Need to carry ID Need to hate Protestants

How does Féile an Phobail get a late licence to 1am,when the rest of the countries festivals, AVA, Belsonic, Custom House Square and many other have to finish at 11am .... Is Belfast City Council breaking it's own rules for it's own benefit .....

@loud_silence88 @Javoudria Wise up, believe it or not,I bet there'll be protestants at the concert and other venues within the feile and from the likes of Donegal Road/Tate's avenue

@irishpatriot91 I'm not a fan of you Patriots, but this attack on Caitlin is disgusting and the police/social services should be acting on this video alone Evil wee bitch, bullying any child like that 🤬
