I've been learning Irish using online resources, but definitely time to learn properly from a múinteoir. Thank you Coláiste Feirste & @FeileBelfast for a day of Gaeilgeoir. Event sold out. Next time you hear an idiot say it's a hobby language...tell them 'imigh leat' ☺️

@superbowler4 @mclaren_linzi @UlstersConcern @FeileBelfast Linzi, I think Margaret must either be hard of hearing, or is so fluent she just can discern the difference between the languages anymore 😊

@irish_news Garda specialist sources have confirmed it was actually a barmbrack, though.

@DannyDonnelly1 @dunnes Recommended reading - you could be waiting another while! Genuinely fascinating book.

I’ve been in the reception at @Dunnes HQ in Dublin for more than 3 hours. The nice receptionist let ‘them upstairs’ know that I am here and hoping to speak to someone about their empty premises in Larne.
Danny Donnelly MLA@DannyDonnelly1
I am in Dublin today to deliver this letter to @dunnesstores CEO Margaret Heffernan and to request a meeting with whoever is responsible for properties in NI. It has been 7 years since Dunnes left Larne and the town centre building has been vacant and increasingly derelict since.

@BBCMarkSimpson @RhonddaBryant Oh dear. He’ll have fun with Paul “Have Went” Givan!

The new NI Secretary of State @RhonddaBryant is well known as a stickler for good grammar. (Be careful with apostrophes in all correspondence.). 📌

@DarranMarshall @BBCSounds @BBCNewsNI @MarkCarruthers7 Age 5: Vividly recalls “tangible sense of betrayal” over Thatcher and the Anglo-Irish Agreement.
Age 9: “Like, I was a primary school child, so…” when asked if she remembers the details of her father’s arrest in Paris, being held on remand for two years and being sentenced…

@OnDisasters I take it Captain was PF? If it had been the FO would it have resulted in control being handed over, or would it have resulted in a go around? Just curious.

A Boeing 737 is on final approach.
Everything is configured: straight descent to the runway.
Then… BAM!
A bird strike hits right on the cockpit windshield.
The crew maintained control, completed the landing, and everyone is perfectly fine—except for the bird.

@chrisadonnelly I would suspect the (in)ability to read is a large part of the problem!

@Aldamir @naomi_long During a 2006 NI Assembly debate, former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson stated, "Judaism, Islam and Christianity all teach that homosexual practice is sinful... it is a sincerely held view by Christians and people of other faiths”.
English
@naomi_long It’s certainly a hyperbolic argument.
I’m still surprised that, unlike about half the DUP leadership, nobody really seems to have found a quote where he says any particular sexuality is wrong.
English
Did Jeffrey Donaldson ever made any public statement about the evils of any particular sexuality?
Plenty of the commentary on this just seems to rely on remarks by other DUP members instead of him.

Poor chap hasn’t had a good week.

@SJAMcBride Unfortunately demonstrating that he is still in control, even from behind bars.

Just in: Jeffrey Donaldson has written to the Cabinet Office, seeking to hand back his knighthood - and has asked to leave the body on which he sat which formally advises the King. These honours were clearly going; he's jumped before being pushed.

@desfilmsstuff Thought the very same this morning, as it sounded clunkier than “with”!

The BBC edict has clearly been handed down, “use the word near”. Despite the fact Carla Lockhart repeatedly saying herself she was standing “with” masked men, “her people”.
