Secret Agent

Hi @Chill_Insurance I’m looking to add a fully licensed and insured driver from UK to an fully comp Irish policy and don’t have a spare 45 mins to wait on your helpline - any way this can be done online?

Oh Ireland we have fallen. Muslim blessing in Dublin Castle for Catherine Connolly's inauguration as president. She is not my president.

@MickOKeeffe rte.ie/news/special-r…

I have no words for what I have just witnessed. A Muslim blessing the Irish Presidential inauguration and calling out to Allah, in Dublin Castle.

@LindaBa73296055 @13thApostle_ Nice work Linda, you’ve corrected his terrible spelling but you then totally misused the word incredulous here (look it up). Oh, and you misspelled Garth Brooks. You lot are always entertaining if nothing else…..

@13thApostle_ I assume you meant taught? its just incredulous that a few years ago Croke Park would not allow Garth Brookes to perform extra concerts! keep reminding them Ireland is a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!!! How would it work if Christians prayed in a public area in Pakistan ??

@BrentHBaker @ThisWeekABC @TheAtlantic Read a book Brent. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/in%…

George Stephanopoulos opened @ThisWeekABC in high-dungeon over presidential corruption: “This unprecedented money making by a sitting President and his family summarized by critics like @TheAtlantic’s David Frum: ‘Nothing like this has been attempted or even imagined in the history of the American presidency,’ he writes. ‘Throw away the history books, discard feeble comparisons to scandals of the past....The brazenness resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House. This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a post-colonial African dictatorship.’”

@davidcullinane What’s funny is an individual thing? Gervais is objectively not funny - but that aside, as a T.D. are you sure you’re happy to defend a loudly transphobic man who’s act now consists merely of ‘firing out one-liners about dead children, Islam, rape, paedophilia and suicide’?

Comedians can by their nature be controverisal and edgy. Most anyway. Comedy should never lose this. If you seek offence you’ll find it. If you don’t like a comedian don’t go to see them. And what’s funny is an individual thing.

@UpdateNews724 Plus he is a much hated bell-end and known miscreant here - even if he could get nominated (won’t happen) he hasn’t a snowballs chance in Hell…..

@UpdateNews724 Please stop & learn how to be nominated to run for this ceremonial role - it takes 20 members of the Irish equivalent of house and senate to nominate him or 4 county councils (with a majority vote) - given his recent civil conviction for sexual assault etc, it won’t happen.

@elonmusk Good day for all the Irish people with second name Noone. It’s a strange exemption from the law to include in this letter - or have DOJ just fired auto spell check in MS Word as part of ongoing cost savings?

OK so it’s time to shut this one down. Actually it was time two years ago but I guess I was hoping it would get better instead of so, so much worse. So I’ll delete the account/app at the end of this weekend, if you’re interested I’ll still be on Insta @jonathanshankey . Cheerio!

Hard to believe we’re posting this but we now face the threat of closure of Poppy’s school by the CRC (despite our defence and support of them all these years) they are trying to close her school down. Please sign the petition below to stop this madness. chng.it/r5CVTC8rBV

There should be an Olympic Medal for editing in which case RTÉ Sports editor here would have made it 8 medals! Amazing work!!

Dave's Cup Of Tea And A Chat... With Cathy Belton todayfm.com/podcasts/dave-… via @TodayFMThank you @DaveTodayFM for the best chats about the finale of Hidden Assets this Sunday and more📞 @RTEOne @SohoMoonPics @SaffronPics @NoraJaneNoone @Simone1Kirby @MonaghanAaron @KwakuFortune

Yee-har!!! Go on you good things!! ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

Update - so some students, including Poppy have had their buses restored, still more have not. Here’s Tadhg Kehoe, Poppy’s classmate and his great parents trying to deal with the continued denial of his right to an education by @Buseireann and @Education_Ire - please retweet!!

@CaitrionaNiMhu1 @Nialltoner @colmwhatyalike This is a level of cool I could only ever aspire to back in the Nighthawks days!! Love it!!

Aaaah. Look at little baba @Nialltoner @colmwhatyalike Nighthalks was a great old programme all the same, wasn’t it?

@DavQuinn @Colly_wobbles Steve Coogan is the son of a Mayo woman and a second generation Kilkenny man. He wrote, starred in and produced this film. Just because it contains uncomfortable truths about your church doesn’t make it false or particularly British either. Why are you so upset by it I wonder?

@Colly_wobbles Why set a British-made film here and not in Britain where there were heaps of (non-Catholic) mother and baby homes?

RTE is actually showing Philomena for the umpteenth time tonight. A key scene in this never happened (BBC journalist Martin Sixsmith confronting the 'evil' nun). And why didn't he write about British mother and baby homes instead?

In case any of you think this problem is unique to Poppy’s school….. School buses – children with disabilities irishtimes.com/opinion/letter…

Families left in limbo by lack of school bus service via @RTENews - fully story here. rte.ie/news/2023/0903…

So proud of Poppy who in this longer piece for Six One News @rtenews uses her talker to speak up for her own rights and say “I Want My Bus Back!’ to @Education_Ire and @Buseireann - she’s rightly hugely proud of herself - we’ve all already watched it about ten times!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
