@AlanCha22930272 @rtenews @grok is this true?

@rtenews I wonder how negotiations are really going. It's worth remembering there was a deal on the table in March 2022 but the Ukrainians walked away from it and executed their lead negotiator

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he thought the Ukraine war was coming to an end, remarks that came just hours after he had vowed victory in Ukraine at Moscow's most scaled-back Victory Day parade in years rte.ie/news/world/202…

NO SWIMMING HERE Is a spate of closures sinking the Government’s policies on healthy living? @ianoriordan @TheIrishTim @JackWhiteJ @IrishTimes irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/0…

@claireoleary @KrisAbdelmessih St Pattys is an abomination, truely the work of the devil himself. Nobody, but nobody in ireland of with a genuine connection to the country would ever - ever - be so crass.

Random story...10 years ago today I was in NYC on business. Meetings all day. I forgot about the St. Patty's Parade when I planned it and had to keep criss-crossing midtown. Late to everything. That night I'm having dinner with some brokers. On the way to the restroom...

The 3.5-hour, 35km commute: Kildare motorists on their M7 traffic ‘nightmare’ irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

Good overview by @TheIrishTim on M7/N7 traffic congestion, which is my commute. Much caused by “incidents” which means ‘human error’ or mechanical failure - it would be good to know if common locations and ‘which lane’ is identified by @GardaTraffic and TII?

This morning at 8.am about to go to security at T2 . A woman in front dropped €50 notes. I called but she did not turn and @DublinAirport staff man put his hand out. Said he would announce on screens. An hour later, I’d seen nothing. Someone when home poor🧐

@DublinAirport I found a bunch of €50 notes at T2 queuing to go to security about 30 mins ago. @dublinairport staff man insisted I give it to him and not run after the woman who dropped it. “I’ll put it up on the screens,” he said. No sign of such. Somebody going home poor.🥲
