@DavidOlusoga @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer Cromwell's tour of Ireland financed by London merchants, with land distributed to them and soldiers as recompense.

@HillisEric Too true

Right wing Irish-Americans think Bono and Conor McGregor are Ireland's most beloved figures when in reality it's these two lads.

Lecture programme to end March

Join BHS 17 Jan as we start our series of talks with a fascinating presentation by Michael Reynolds on a Tipperary military family's association with the Harp and the Crown.

The Cult , ‘She Sells Sanctuary’, live on the UK’s BBC2 show ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’, January 1987. Fun fact: The show was originally commissioned by famed broadcasting & biology legend David Attenborough! Back to the song, it’s an iconic track that sounds even better here!

Glengarriff Nature Reserve, West Cork: someone went to all the trouble of putting their dog's shit into a plastic bag, tying a knot in the top, and depositing it neatly on a stone. Apparently, this bizarre behaviour is *very* common. What mad planet are these people living on???

@SophieP25397 How many had Irish connections I wonder?

With the New Year's Honours list upon us. Albert Finney David Bowie Stephen Hawking George Bernard Shaw Alan Bennett Ken Loach Aldous Huxley L.S. Lowry Harold Pinter J.B. Priestley all turned down a knighthood.

If you had him what would you name him?

Practically everything said in this piece about the Limerick Boycott in this piece is untrue, including the claim that the Jaffe family was driven out in consequence. They were still living and working in Limerick years afterwards.

A new study has found that almost half of children in Gaza wish to die, as a result of the trauma they have been forced to endure. Every single supplier of arms to Israel has blood on its hands — and the world will never forgive them.

Haaretz confirmed that Dr. Iyad Rantisi, the head of the obstetrics department at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, was killed under torture while in Israeli custody. qudsnen.co/doctor-iyad-ra…

@conor_pope Thurles to Limerick daily by train, only €219 per month. Compared to driving at least 50% cost, nevermind the stress of traffic etc. A game changer. Well done to Irish rail.

Quick question for you all.... Do you think public transport in Ireland is good value for money and do you have any stories of that good or bad value that you would like to share?

@ballsdotie @Paulmcgrath5 USA 94 v Italy and his disallowed goal- terrible decision 😢

The great Paul McGrath, one of Ireland's greatest-ever sportsmen, celebrates his 65th birthday today. We'll be publishing a number of pieces celebrating Paul's incredible career today. What's your favourite @Paulmcgrath5 moment?
