@krassenstein Someone claiming to be Iran probably called him to try and end this madness I reckon.

BREAKING: Trump claims that Iran called him last night and that they are agreeing to "not have nuclear weapons any more". NOTE: Iran never had nuclear weapons and has always agreed to not produce nuclear weapons. Trump has no clue what he is even talking about. Iran claims they didn't even talk.

@RasmusJarlov en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War The Canadians and the Danes are old hands at border disputes

Europe has to understand that NATO isnt a one way street. If Europe does not support the USA now, dont expect the Americans to help the next time Denmark or Canada randomly decide to invade other countries!

@revpaulwhite Sundays and religious feasts are exempt from lent IIRC

Drinking Guinness on St Patrick’s Day does not break Lent, right? Asking for a friend…

@R2B2_13 @wereontheditch It wasn't over the country or our sovereign airspace from I can see from the article or the below link. x.com/i/status/20328…

@Spoogle3000 @wereontheditch Why are we allowing foreign military aircrafts use our airspace as a short route to illegally bomb sovereign nations?

An Irish air traffic controller guided a United States Air Force bomber on its way to attack Iran through Irish-controlled airspace. In an audio recording obtained by The Ditch the AirNav Ireland employee assists the bomber’s crew. ontheditch.com/irish-air-staf…

let me get this straight a team will not be playing in the FIFA World Cup because they are currently being bombed by the FIFA Peace Prize winner

@anon_opin That cash machine is the fucking worst

Commercial radio stations have turned into for-profit, barely-legal lotteries preying on desperate poor people, the odds of winning a "network competition" are tiny, and the government should stop it. Bauer Media, I'm looking at you

@john_mcguirk Is that the oil reserve off the coast of cork that doesn't have a connection to the mainland?

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve contains 90 days of supply to keep the lights on in the event of mass disruption to global supplies. Labour would rather use that to bring down prices marginally for a week or two than consider a single tax break. Lunacy.

@stevenconlon Maybe via Africa? Ethiopia or something like that

@Spoogle3000 India eventually. Right now looking at European airline to get me there

Trying to book flights right now to Asia is a nightmare, have flights via Doha, needed to book alternatives. The Airlines have been changing prices so much by the time you fill out everything

@fesshole Good

Partner and I watched Lord of the Flies TV series. I printed a picture of a shell off the internet. Every time she criticises me I hold up the picture and say "You can't speak unless you're holding the conch." It's only been two days and I think she's going to leave me.

@NiecyOKeeffe Was it not that he compromised the evidence system by giving away the bike and that was the issue?

Proper order. It was bloody ridiculous. And I don’t know what was going on but I’d put money down that it was never about the bike.

@rugby_ap Id be very interested to see what the other big unions (SCOT/IRE/ENG etc) say here because if they partner up and rally behind the French and Saffas then it should be dead in the water

The balance of power / influence has shifted. France is right at the heart of the sport. It’s where the game is best attended and most commercially successful. Their influence will only grow. Their vision on how the game ‘should’ be played I suspect will prevail.

@USAmbEU @USAmbNATO Stop talking shit to your European allies then big lad. Pretty simple really.

Joint op-ed by me and @USAmbNATO Matt Whitaker👇 politico.eu/article/why-us… EU policymakers considering the future of defense cooperation face a clear choice — pursue policies that restrict market access, fragmenting our transatlantic defense industrial base and supply chains, or foster openness, competition, and innovation. The latter approach supports our collective security, readiness, resilience, and cost-effective investment, benefiting taxpayers, workers, and service members on both sides of the Atlantic.

@stevenconlon My neighbour sold up this time last year for over a 100k of what they paid less than 5 years ago. Crazy

Going on a neighbours sale my house could go for €165k more than I paid for it. I bought three years ago. That’s mad.

@NiallJournal_ie @thejournal_ie No way we could pull this off. With regards what to do with them, empty the tankers and then use them as a fish hotel off the Kerry coast

Irish Defence Minister says Ireland considering boarding and inspecting Russian Shadow Fleet ships (via @thejournal_ie) Fair to say an escalation in how Ireland is posturing around the sanctioned ships. jrnl.ie/6957232

That kick at 83 mins is unforgivable in test match rugby when you are trying to be the starting 10 #IREvITA

@MoorcroftRico I love your optimism

Irish Air Force hangers 2035. Of course, the hangers my be the only thing we have by then.🇮🇪

@IrishTimesOpEd Or and this may be a bold strategy, develop the other airports in the country so we don't have half the country heading to Dublin. Also as said in thread, it's too small and can't be expanded and will cause the same issues in north Dublin in West Dublin

Justine McCarthy: It’s time to revisit Tony Ryan’s idea for an international airport at Baldonnel irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

@NiallJournal_ie @thejournal_ie Is anyone really surprised?

Defence Forces tell gardaí they can't provide anti-drone security for EU Presidency meetings (via @thejournal_ie) jrnl.ie/6945363
