Alice Chambers

@olliemagic @WeatherofDublin Thanks! I was worried I was beign fooled by AI!

@aflchambers @WeatherofDublin It was about 3.30.

How is the weather where you are? Has anyone seen any flooding yet?

@weatheire1 Yes, we were just surprised it drained that quickly!

@aflchambers It was high tide at the time, Alice.

Some coastal flooding at high tide between Sandycove and Dún Laoghaire in Dublin.

@SnowbieWx Is that this? x.com/sryanbruenphot…

WHAT THE

@weatheire1 It's terrible we have to think this way now, isn't it? A friend of mine was just along the seafront for a walk and all the water is gone. So we were wondering had we been fooled

@aflchambers From a follower who lives in Dún Laoghaire. These certainly are not AI. More enclosed below.

@olliemagic @WeatherofDublin Did you take this? and what time was it? A friend has just been down that way and said there's no water there at all currently. I'm just curious about how fast it might have drained

Orsted’s Irish assets valued at almost €1bn in European onshore portfolio deal thecurrency.news/articles/21600…

Had a pretty convincing scam call from a lady pretending to be from my mobile operator. Said there was a Jan promotion of 20% off — did I want in? And if so, I’d get a six digit code texted to me. Which immediately came (from my real operator’s SMS)… (—> cont’d)

A third resignation at the @PortofCork. My latest for @thecurrency. thecurrency.news/articles/21050…

This section seems much better. So it’s not an insurmountable problem.

I mostly love the Parliament St changes but this just seems really dumb - an accident waiting to happen - to use street furniture to channel pedestrians into bikes 🤷🏼‍♀️ @DubCityCouncil

@FredPLogue @thecurrency Thanks so much Fred, appreciate it! For those who aren't subscribers (yet!) we have an intro deal where the first month is only €5. You can read everything we've ever produced and no obligation to keep the subscription after the first month.

For the first time (ever? in decades?), a leader of the State planning body sat down with a journalist. “I think an awful lot of the criticism is based upon knowledge of our organisation three years ago,” says An Coimisiún Pleanála's new CEO. thecurrency.news/articles/20930…

@margaret19500 @GillSherratt23 I'm sorry to hear that ☹️ have you looked into travelling south? I think the scheme just reopened this summer bbc.com/news/articles/…

@aflchambers @GillSherratt23 See my post. Waiting list in North 5 years. I am in that situation

Got referred for an *urgent* MRI on my shoulder last week. Just got the call there and if I want to get it on my medical card they can give me an appointment in March. If I want to pay I can have one Thursday, Friday or over the weekend all under the same medical group. The joys of Irish healthcare, I can either pay €310 for a scan, or wait another 5-6 months in pain and struggling to even dress myself 🤦‍♀️

This is very exciting news for everyone at @thecurrency. I'm really looking forward to having another great mentor with vast experience - and our readers will undoubtedly benefit from having another storyteller on board to bring them into the heart of issues affecting Ireland.

@idahopov @NUJofficial It looks like you're based in the US? I think you might be misinformed about the situation in Ireland.

@aflchambers @NUJofficial Why don’t you spend your outrage on the invasion that’s happening to your own home?

Irish journalists are protesting today at 6pm at the Spire in Dublin against the ongoing slaughter of journalists in Gaza. Organised by the @NUJofficial - if you're looking for a place to vent your outrage, join us.

Mariam Dagga, killed by Israel today, was an incredibly talented photographer. She relentlessly and courageously documented the genocide. I'm going to share some of her images. Graphic content included.

Margaret Higgins felt she had no choice but to turn to private care when she faced a 16-week wait for chemotherapy after her breast cancer surgery. She wishes “it wasn’t so difficult for people” in the public system. Read the full story: jrnl.ie/6798640
