@goughd4 What part of Michael Murphy striking a player twice with a closed fist did you determine merited a yellow card and not an immediate red card?

@SmallerFishGAA Since when is a closed fist to the face a yellow card? Outrageous to give just a yellow. Will be interesting to see if it's called out tonight on RTE.
English
Murphy deserved a red there. No need for that
I can't believe Gough gave a yellow for that

@RailUsersIe Operationally, Irish Rail is a shambles. The first train of the day rarely leaves on time, leading to subsequent trains being delayed. There seems to be no repercussions to trains leaving early/late, no incentive for drivers and management to ensure that timetables are followed.
English
214 occurrences of a train leaving a station more than a minute early yesterday, just between Dublin Connolly and Greystones. 11 occurrence of a train leaving more than 5 minutes early
It's bad enough the trains are constantly late, leaving early is unacceptable
English
@IrishRail Why is the 0807 dart from Raheny to Greystones late and only 4 carriages? Not a single person was able to get on the train at Raheny.
English
@MetEireann Issuing a yellow weather warning after hours of torrential rain? Another abject performance by Met Eireann, the latest in a series of wildly inaccurate forecasts and weather warnings that are too late, inappropriate or both.
English

@DubCityCouncil @VivacityLabs @smartdublin Almost 3 years of huge disruption to build something that is used by a tiny minority. Was a passenger in a car at 5pm this evening, in ninety seconds, I saw one person (Deliveroo guy on an electric bike) use the C2CC, none at all cycling in direction of city centre.
English
Cycling data has been correlated from AI sensors to data from rainfall monitors. We found that there is no major drop off in cyclists along the Clontarf to City Centre route even when we have very heavy rain days #C2CC #ActiveTravelNetwork #SmartDublin @vivacitylabs @smartdublin @bentleysystems

@IrishRail Please stop with the nonsense about low rail adhesion. The vast majority of delays are caused by trains breaking down, signalling faults or various operational issues. All of these are within the control of Irish Rail.
English
Update:
DART +35 minutes on some services.
Maynooth/M3 commuter route +10/15 minutes expected
Northern commuter route +10/15 expected
Phoenix Park tunnel route +5/10 expected
Delays due to low rail adhesion and an earlier technical issue on a train in M3 Parkway.

@m_brosnan Kobe will be the third generational talent Mayo has lost to AFL, Pierce Hanley and Oisin Mullen the other two. Hard to think of another county that has lost that level of individual talent. Kerry has probably suffered most in terms of sheer numbers?
English
Mayo's Kobe McDonald is set for a move to the AFL. The deal is likely to be announced in the coming days and he is expected to join after he completes his Leaving Cert.

@GavanCasey There's a history of decisions like this one coming against teams playing against New Zealand so it wasn't totally unexpected. Still farcical though.
English
I try not to comment on officiating decisions in rugby — it’s an impossible job — but that Tadhg Beirne red card is an absolute and utter joke. Inconceivable that you could arrive at that conclusion after a bunker review.
English
@IrishRail It's every single day, the service is worse now than at any stage in the last twenty years. Why are there operational issues, trains breaking down, signalling faults on a daily basis?
English
Some services on the network are operating with delays and alterations, due to an earlier stoppage at Dalkey and a train being stopped between Connolly/Clontarf Rd.
Dart services are operating approximately 25 minutes behind schedule.
The 13:47 Connolly/Maynooth +24 - MH
English
@IrishRail Why can't overnight works finish on time? It's the same every single bank holiday weekend when there is maintenance work - they always run over time and delay the morning service. Is there anyone in Irish Rail with even the slightest bit of competence?
English
Some DART services are operating up to +12 minutes behind schedule this morning.
Due to the works taking place earlier in the night, and low rail adhesion.
-AP
English
@IrishRail Very little, if anything, to do with low rail adhesion.Time and again Irish Rail are completely incapable of finishing overnight maintenance in time for the first train of the day. There are new levels of incompetence day after day.
English
Update:
05:40 Cork to Heuston +50 minutes delayed.
06:15 Cork to Heuston +25 minutes delayed.
Due to an issue arising from overnight line maintenance works and low rail adhesion in the area.
Update to follow. -CL

Update: 05:40 Cork to Heuston departed Cork Kent +37 minutes delayed. 06:15 Cork to Heuston departed Cork Kent +20 minutes delayed. 06:25 Cork to Tralee expected +20/25 minutes delayed. Due to an issue arising from overnight line maintenance works Update to follow. -CL

@IrishRail Another completely shambolic morning across the Irish Rail network. The incompetence on a daily basis is staggering. Irish Rail is unfit for purpose.
English
The signalling issue between Connolly/Tara St has been rectified.
Some services between these stations may still experience delays of approximately 20 minutes - MH
Iarnród Éireann@IrishRail
The 07:02 Drogheda/Bray service has departed Connolly station approximately 14 minutes behind schedule. As a result of the stoppage and an ongoing signalling issue, services through the city centre stations may experience delays this morning of approximately 15 minutes - MH

@MichealLehane In a time of full employment, why are the long-term unemployed being incentivised to stay that way?
English
€10 weekly increase in State pension and core Social Protection rates will be announced in tomorrow’s budget.
English
@IrishRail So two dart failures before 8:30 on a Monday morning. What's going on in maintenance depots that trains are failing so frequently?
English
The 08:48 Malahide/Bray and 08:25 Bray/Howth services have been cancelled this morning due to earlier failures at Dalkey and Howth - MH
Iarnród Éireann@IrishRail
The 07:23 Bray/Malahide service will terminate this morning in Dalkey due to a technical issue onboard - MH
English
@IrishRail Train failures, mechanical issues, signalling faults and operational issues on a daily basis this week. Lots of cancelled services as a result. The staggering incompetence from operations to maintenance to communications, has been evident once again. Irish Rail is a shambles.
English
09:50 Connolly/Belfast has failed near Lisburn due to a technical issue. Staff en route to assist. Update to follow. -AD
13:00 Belfast/Connolly has been cancelled. Passengers will be transferred to Newry by bus trasfers to connect with 14:00 Belfast/Connolly.

@rtenews They're not in the slightest bit concerned. This is pure nimbyism, plain and simple.

Two communities on the Laois-Kilkenny border say they are concerned about the environmental and health impacts of a proposed wind project in their area and are appealing to the Government to urgently update guidelines around wind energy projects

@IrishRail Why is this happening every single day with both trains and lines? Why is there such incompetence at every level in Irishrail?
English
Services have resumed between Cork and Cobh/Midleton. Services are expected to resume shortly and will most likely operate with delays/alterations as a result - MH

Services remain suspended between Cork and Cobh/Midleton. Staff are on-site investigating the tracks. Update to follow - MH

@IrishRail Was the disruption caused by work on the line overnight? If so, it's not the first time this summer that the following morning has been an absolute shambles. After 40 years, even basic overhead line maintenance is beyond Irishrail.
English
Update: 06:30hrs
Major disruption to DART services
Service suspended between Greystones and Dalkey until further notice
Limited DART service operating between Dalkey and Malahide/Howth
Repairs continue on the overhead lines
