@dohville @1Bde_Official @defenceforces @df_recruitment probably not warm enough for long enough to heat up just yet, plus a good breeze the last while from the S/SE.

@1Bde_Official @defenceforces @df_recruitment Is there a warm weather version of "if its not raining its not training"? Davis is a sun trap, and the tunnels can be like an oven. Well done to all involved.

Students of the Potential NCOs Course from 1 Brigade Training Centre being put through their paces in 28 degree sunshine in Fort Davis 🔥. This training is part of the Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) phase of the course.

@MarcusSpillane But... what if there's *meant* to be leftover screws cos they shipped spares....

the amount of confidence a man gets from successfully assembling patio furniture without leftover screws is genuinely alarming.

An extraordinary story, little known, about the attempt to blow up the oldest #yacht club in the world.. the Royal #Cork.. in THE ECHO Cork's morning daily paper "Maritime Cork' column.

In 24 hours, Mikel Arteta took Arsenal to first league in 22 years, Andoni Iraola took Bournemouth to Europe for first time ever and Unai Emery took Aston Villa to first European trophy in 44 years, first of any kind in 33 years. All born within 30 miles of each other. Gipuzkoa.

Not sure whether I or my passport will expire first before I get through border control @ParisAeroport ... ☹️

@AoifeMFoley ah here -a 12 year old would have seen that in a drawing.

My faith in human stupidity is restored on a weekly basis! This is maybe the maddest cycle lane ever. Definitely designed by somebody who did NOT do a site visit. 100% wasn’t checked. This is how a site survey drawing, google maps and laziness in using autocad are the holy trinity of the poor technical or engineer. 👷🏻 #alert #disgust #incompetence #letdown #embarrassed 🥴👇 @C103Cork

@irishelt @Martina Also - the actual official tricolour can be seen on the extreme LHS of the pic, in its correct place, the morons did a shite cropping job. Other pic for context. (may have been carefully curated...)

@Martina Its perfectly ok. It was a respectful celebration of the Pakistan 🇵🇰 national day in Cork Ireland 🇮🇪 No different to the global St Patrick's day celebrations held globally.

Yeah. This is not ok…

@MCoEFortBenning BZ Shamrock 1!

Today, the Defence Forces Cavalry Corps Team (Callsign Shamrock 1) took home first place in the Bradley category in the 2026 Sullivan Cup. The Defence Forces Cavalry Corps team competed in the 2026 Sullivan Cup, hosted in Fort Benning, GA, USA. The purpose of the Sullivan Cup is to identify and recognise the most skilled armoured vehicle crews internationally. The competition consisted of gunnery live fire lanes by day and night, vehicle maintenance, crew knowledge, call for fire, AFV recognition, medical lanes and physical fitness challenges. Our team had a two week window to train up in theatre on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle having never used the platform before. After completing two weeks of training successfully, the competition started on 30 APR 26 and the Cavalry Corps emerged as the winners.

@joehas superprofit levy?

Never mind this new virus, has anyone seen potato prices?

@joehas Oooh matron!

I wonder which law firm represents Pornhub in Ireland? Is it "A&L Goodbody" or maybe it´s "Arthur Cox" fnarr fnarr

David Attenborough is officially too old to play with Lego.

@philippilk @Muinchille @enahs ah yes, that'll be the Irish Sea Jet A1 pipeline.

A Goldman Sachs note is circulating saying Britain (and by extension Ireland) have no strategic reserves of jet fuel. The only buffer against outright shortages are commercial inventories. So basically the refuelling tanks at various airports. 🇬🇧🇮🇪✈️

La Roche-Posay Racing Team find the limit in Lorient...wowzas!!

Never underestimate how much time and effort you can waste by trying to automate a process you do not understand manually.

@irishelt And as @daraobriain reminded us; the only proper Irish response is "And also with you!" 🤣🤣🤣

If Darth Vader was from Dublin... #MayThe4thBeWithYou
