@IrishPTNolan @flowerlady61 Big brother who spent his life stealing what little limelight I was afforded.

Holy Child, where I made my First Communion. The sacred jewel of North Broad street. I’ve seen more beautiful churches. But this one is closest to my heart, because it is the first one that heard my confession, gave me my Lord, and taught me what it meant to be a Roman Catholic.

@taxidamien @flowerlady61 Love the lad peeping out the window behind you!! Cute photo.

@flowerlady61 When I would say "made my First Holy Communion" my mother would give me a clip behind my ear a shout "you don't make your first communion you receive your first communion, it's made by the nuns" Just sayin 🤷

@taxidamien @flowerlady61 🤣🤣🤣

@MichaelPTKelly Happy Birthdsy to your dad, may he enjoy every morsel of his break fast.

Lovely to be able to celebrate my father’s birthday, now that Lent is over! He’s a mighty man.

Reading 'Ireland’s retrofit reality' in @IrishTimes a young married couple begin the piece, but the 'wife' is omitted thereafter, only the husband credited: "He had the house externally wrapped" etc. He had!? No doubt there was a pair of them in it. Definitely a 'retro' reality

@philastokes @EmmaLouDoran @RTERadio1 Good for you, Phil. I was laughed out of 3-4 banks when looking for a mortgage. Not a metaphor, they fully laughed. Reminded me of when I went to join the navy to find out they didn’t take females. They laughed at me (1976 – I laughed too). Eventually TSB gave me the mortgage.

@IrishPTNolan @EmmaLouDoran @RTERadio1 100% correct. 80s, was asked for guarantor for a small loan, I asked to see the manager and told him that it was unfortunate that they would lose out on the over £1 million that would go through my account over the coming years as I was closing my account. He changed his mind.

Myself and women my ilk (66 now) did work back in 'days of yore'. We were the generation got the banks to give mortgages to women. I'm not laughing at the anyone broad-brushing this. A simple 'thank you' would suffice @EmmaLouDoran #BrendanOConnor @RTERadio1

@eternaltxts Learn how to use a drill and all of the bits. And all of the bobs. What screw where and when and how. You will save 1000s over your lifetime.

I’m 21. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

Watching #thebiginterview in between #TheBigAdBreaks

What does this message even mean on this @HSELive poster? ‘THAN REGULAR USE’? I read it over and over. If they mean abuse of Pharma drugs, then say ‘prescription drugs’, but … Recreational vs regular? Make it make sense!

I use the bus. On unfamiliar routes ticker tape info is stressful. Leaving a stop, you get ‘use the handrail; exit by centre doors; name of road; bus destination; use handrail again!’ when all you seek is name of next stop so you press button & grab bags on time. @TFIupdates

@ClontarfTimes1 It is a porthole shot! I like the light streaks.

Oops! Meant to be a porthole shot! #Clontarf #DublinBayArea

@Luke_Mackey @AerLingus Yes, it is a total swizz. You arrive thinking how convenient this is going to be, then get your 10,000 steps in WITH WEIGHTS and the stress of the time factor. As for the portacabin, yep, that's classy.

RTE needs to do Prime Time investigates on @AerLingus claiming gates are in T2, only to walk 15 mins to T1 and get on a bus to a portacabin

Ireland must prepare ‘evacuation’ plans for coastal areas as climate change intensifies, says expert irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

@TheFigen_ The faces with no plastic surgery look a lot better in older age.

Time is one of the things no living thing in the world can buy.

@JurrasicPo31235 @VishalShar46456 @elonmusk Sadly there's not much privilege to 800 years of English colonisation. I'm old enough to have met people lived under the tyranny. Being evicted from your home, starved, banned from speaking your language & treated worse than an animal hurts the same regardless of your skin colour

@IrishPTNolan @VishalShar46456 @elonmusk You’re white. Still enjoy white privilege

Madness

@VishalShar46456 @elonmusk Deleted my comment due to your clarification. Still not convinced the debatable belongs on public info panels. I'm Irish & studied Shakespeare at school. Never was it interpreted as an effort to establish English cultural superiority, only as genius writing. AND I AM IRISH!

The Actual Facts — before the outrage machine:📌 What the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust actually proposed — not demolishing anything, not erasing Shakespeare. Adding contextual interpretation alongside existing exhibits — acknowledging that his works have been used historically in colonial education systems to establish English cultural superiority.📌 This is a legitimate academic debate. Chinua Achebe wrote about it in 1975. Gayatri Spivak wrote about it in 1988. It's been discussed in postcolonial literature departments for 50 years. The Daily Mail discovered it in 2026 and called it breaking news.📌 Shakespeare himself — born 1564, died 1616

Still the best photo ever

@thaktonhemlock @MarkLTighe You mean the 1.15km of hedgerow belonging to the wealthy Magnier family? Also, environmental infractions aren’t put on an ‘ignore’ spreadsheet because there are more damaging infractions.

@IrishPTNolan @MarkLTighe €40 million worth of peat exported every year but you don’t want to annoy tyre farmer up his little “bothairín”

In Clonmel today where Coolmore has been the first company convicted under environmental laws protecting hedgerows for "serious" and "egregious" environmental damage
