"Think about how you can actually take what are essentially 19th- and 20th-century editorial values and re-embed them, recast them in 21st-century technology", he says. “It’s an easy thing to say it; it’s a damn difficult thing to actually put into effect.”

@DaraghCassidy This is woke gone mad. It's a mindless offence against heritage and legacy. The formal front lawn was designed in the 17th Century to be just that. Lots of other spaces within the College curtileges that can be "wilded."

Not a fan personally. It just lends another air of unkemptness to the city. Which is the last thing Dublin needs in such a prime location. There are loads of other places in the city that this could have been done instead (all the parks for example).

@cpkeena Every good wish on retirement Paul. Hard to know where those years have gone. You were always one of the "solid" core ..... Tom McDowell wasn't the "owner" of the Irish Times though. It's been owned 100% by the Trust since 1974. He was a 20% shareholder in The Irish Times Ltd.

@antoabs @AGSI_Ireland @gardainfo It's defamatory. Sue the "elected representative." Silence and acquiescence simply invites more.

As if our @AGSI_Ireland @gardainfo colleagues haven’t enough challenges.A Garda member stands on duty, lawfully doing his job..an elected representative falsely accuses him of providing private security,uses his image & subjects him to on line abuse. This is so very wrong!

Last month, we conferred @ConorPMBrady, @MaryCrilly7, @cmcgettrick and @orlatinsley with honorary degrees. Our four amazing recipients were kind enough to chat to us on the day, and we're excited to share that video with you now.🎓📽️ Watch below: media.heanet.ie/page/3647ccf3f…

And @CaliberAI! Thanks for the shout out @ChasTaylor! As the guardrails get built, they must be informed by the expertise of those with experience in security, oversight and public discourse, which is why our AP includes people like @ConorPMBrady & @arusbridger. Bring on 2024!

I know @kilkenomics was ten days ago, but it was my first time partaking, and I only just managed to get my hands on this snap of myself @realBobbyHealy, @destraynor, @AliceVSherwood and @ComedyGildea discussing AI, and we all look fantastic, so I'm going wild and posting it 🕺🏻

A wonderful day last Thursday, where we had the joy of conferring @MaryCrilly7, @orlatinsley, @cmcgettrick and @ConorPMBrady with NUI honorary degrees for the great social, political and cultural impacts that they have made in their respective fields.

@runmollyrun101 Congratulations! What a wonderful roadway stretches out ahead for you, Molly!

This morning I was called to the Bar of Ireland by the Chief Justice. This has been the most challenging but rewarding experience of my life. Officially Molly Scott BL. A day I will never forget.

@BrigidLaffan It's probably a bit of a lawnmower, or a hedge-strimmer.

Can any of those in security sector in Ireland shed light on this-Made in Ireland prominent on this drone.

My piece in today's @businessposthq on how newsrooms everywhere need to, as @ndiakopoulos put it, learn "what’s possible [with AI, in order] to know what’s dangerous", while continuing to focus on what they can do best - filtering important information 👇🏻 businesspost.ie/news-focus/ai-…

@ConorGallaghe_r Common practice in allocating code names to agents since Victorian times ….. pick an everyday term and insert an error: thus “daffodil” might be given as “daffadil”; “Caledonia” might be given as “Calidonia.” A simple safety/security filter.

I see Stakeknife has died. I've always meant to ask, why was it Stakeknife and not Steakknife?

@sheilareilly123 What a beautiful little girl. As a Dad and a Grandad, my heart goes out to you.

Our beloved daughter Rhona Rose has died. She was a ray of pure sunshine - warm, bright and vibrant. It was a joy to be part of her world. rip.ie/death-notice/r…

@arusbridger Quite a big deal …… Caribbean politics!

Richard Sharp helps arrange an £800k guarantee for PM Boris Johnson. They dine at Chequers. Sharp is promptly made Chair of the BBC. “So what?” says Johnson “Big deal.” It is, actually

@arusbridger Indeed it is!

@MartinDoyleIT Some issue arose between Smylie and Gus Weldon who owned The Pearl. Gus was extremely strict in his standards for the house and wouldn’t tolerate crude language for example. I think the animus may have arisen because one of the less well-behaved among Smylie’s followers offended.

@MartinDoyleIT The Palace became the watering hole of choice for RM Smylie and his acolytes after a dispute with the “Pearl” across the street (“the cultured pearl”) in the 1940s. The antagonism persisted into the 1970s when I joined the Irish Times.

@MartinDoyleIT Maybe this thing about the best English being spoken in Dublin is a bit like the late (UK Labour MP and minister) Dick Crossman’s saying that The Irish Times is “the best Times on this side of the Atlantic”! Nice to think it might be true. Hard to prove one way or another!!!!
