@rtenews There’s no enforcement of the rules- what there is, is showmanship for the cameras at bank holiday weekends and the like. It’s actually immoral what’s going on.

The number of gardaí involved in Roads Policing Units has dropped by nearly 40% since 2009, the latest figures released from the Department of Justice and An Garda Síochána have shown rte.ie/news/2026/0516…

@helerina It’s the in thing nowadays, but, if it becomes compulsory I’m hauling my backside out of the country.

Beginning to think Ireland is full of closet gays. Are all Irish men gay now? Just come out and get it over with.

@WriterHannahBT The Cuckoo is singing all through the nights at the moment. Is this a record?

Willow Warblers galore are my #FirstBirdOfMyDay filling a reed bed with their rapid sounds on a grey but mild day. #WhatsYours

@MickRya60849577 @OAralt Hardly bestow the word tactics to a lot of what’s on show. To me,tactics is play that opens up defences to register scores on say, 40% return to amount of possession. 8 points over the course of 60 mins and half the team suffering from cramp could never be called tactics.

@Gallantsweeney @OAralt Yes, the tacticians have outsmarted the FRC. Holding possession around the arc has become the new 15 behind the ball. Gaa need FRC mark 2 getting to work asap. Time is not on our side.

I wonder is there going to be a video of a certain ex manager putting the boot on the Donegal U20 manger after last night ?

@LisaMcNulty86 @TheSundayGame The strange atmosphere prevailed over the weekend where a stadium with a capacity of 82k is 1/16th occupied on Sat and 1/3rd occupied on Sunday. What other than strange could be expected in such settings?

15 minutes into @TheSundayGame… Joanne & the boys script is that Kerry couldn’t care about the result & there was a ‘strange atmosphere’ in Croke Park. Also harping about Michael Murphy as if Kerry didn’t batter Conaty,McMullen & Crealy last week without a word from anyone 🙄

@buff_egan Rules in GAA are only suggestions. Don’t watch it if application of them bothers you.Incidentally in the rule book , striking with a closed fist, is a straight red.

100% a Red Card for Murphy 🔴

@mjc0ughl4n @AthloneTC @westmeathcoco A relic of our pathetic business culture,pre-crash. Any wannabe “developer “ with zero background in development, was given money to throw up commercial sheds willy- nilly at every crossroads or turn in the road. Aesthetically and financially our country was ruined.

Athlone is a lovely town and very nicely situated on the River Shannon. I was a bit sad to see a lot of empty commercial units in the town centre, but that's true of a lot of our towns and cities unfortunately. @AthloneTC @westmeathcoco

@m_brosnan The new hybrid Gaelic football is being really shown up today for what it has become, compared to rugby. It’s now a boring handpass fest with minimal contact and a complete reluctance to take a chance.

That has to be a first. What a strike.

@NUFC Why do keepers dive before the kick? At 6’ a descent keeper will cover 12’ of width leaving 2 x 6’ areas for the taker. By going early he leaves a 12’ gap unguarded. Never go, leave the taker guessing

It finishes level in the first leg at St. James' Park 🤝

@rtenews The version of GP elected in the UK and the GP party here has only one thing in common- the name.

Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman said the Green tide was rising again, pointing to the recent by-election win for Hannah Spencer in the Manchester constituency of Gordon and Denton which he said meant hope could win rte.ie/news/politics/…

@ali_naka The American electorate is the real reason.

This is the reason why there is a WAR Trump is in #EpsteinFiles

@TomasJHeneghan Before you make such sweeping statements publish a few statistics, like , how many over 70’s caused fatal accidents as a % of all fatal crashes. Call for proper and sustained enforcement of the laws that already exist.

39 people have died on our roads so far in 2026. Maybe it’s time to tighten up on who’s allowed drive a car? Introduce a mandatory annual theory and practical test for any licence-holder once they hit 70. Increase the legal age for a license to 23.

@KeithMillsD7 The dimensions of the bill might at some future time get smaller, but, the figures at the bottom only go one way. This is Ireland and price reductions are legally forbidden.

So when are the reductions in our electricity bills coming?

@Scott_Pert No, refereeing is dead, killed by a combination of cowardice, ineptitude and the scourge of today’s society, social media.

Football is dead 🤦🏼🤷‍♂️

@PeteFarrell14 Social media experts are the least knowledgeable people in the world on all sports. They inhabit an idiot’s forum and have no relevance in the real world,

There is so many great rugby minds in Ireland

@jim_demps Agreed, the lack of smartness over the handling of this is astounding. Sam, for all his attributes could never develop into a world class o/h. Jack could,but, alas,a lot of damage is being done to him with the prevarication by the selectors.

Andy Farrell’s handling of the No.10 jersey has been nothing short of disgraceful Years of chopping, changing and mixed messages, and every 10 looks worse for it The talent is there,it’s just not being nurtured. Ireland’s most important position has become a coaching blind spot

@andrenaok @TomasORuanaidh @LeitrimGAA Sadly he wouldn’t be doing it as Kerry and Donegal probably would have defenders on the field. However it was first class performance of accurate shooting.

@TomasORuanaidh @LeitrimGAA Unreal kicking off both feet , if Barry Mc Nulty was doing that for Donegal or Kerry at the weekend.. he would be the talk of the country 😄👏👏👏

Ah lads, Barry McNulty’s six two pointers in a half of football, are finally here from Leitrim’s comeback win against London. 🔥 Five off the left, one with the right. Five from play, but the final one is a free from about 60 metres out. 🎥 @LeitrimGAA

@laoishurler Nothing incredible, he’s 20 mins on the field and has turned the game in Ireland’s favour, all around are performing below par, so what does a smart guy do in that situation?

it's incredible, Not one word is Spoken of Crowley kicking the ball past the Dead ball line Today and Blowing A chance of the Bonus point 4th Try..Which keeps Italy ahead of Ireland, and Fucks our Chances..Ah Sure Let's blame Prendergast! 10 yards out Mate!

@Mike_Quirke How is that a Kerry free though? Any explanations?

The buzzer beater! 👌
