@2Otoole4School @KeithMillsD7 What employers found it less productive? By employer who do you mean? The CEO? The line manager?

@liam7988 @KeithMillsD7 Micromanagement, office chatter distracting , because of office leases - 3 nonsense excuses peddled about by people. Employers found it less productive, people were taking the piss, especially those with pets or kids.

All this will do is force more traffic onto other perifoveal suburban roads. People don't use the M50 for the fun of it.

“Controversial links”? What’s controversial ? How many Irish universities have links to China, Quatar..? But Connolly has nothing to say about that. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Only country in the Middle East to have a Pride March. In whose name is she hitting out????

@2Otoole4School @KeithMillsD7 The back to office is being driven by CEOs some of whom aren't even based in Ireland. It's not being driven by the line managers who work with the staff day to day. It's just micromanagement

@liam7988 @KeithMillsD7 Theres lots of evidence from employers themselves, thats why they’re bringing people back. Any evidence of increased productivity is where employees are surveyed and ofcourse they feel more productive getting paid to walk the dog or cooking lunch with a teams call open.

@mrcraigmoore1 @PremSportsIRL A friend of mine has one

@liam7988 @PremSportsIRL Fire sticks are fantastic tbf Liam

We're pleased to confirm that the UEFA Champions League will remain on Premier Sports in the Republic of Ireland until 2031 🙌 Here's to more unforgettable Tuesday nights in football's greatest club competition 💥

@KeithMillsD7 There is no evidence of it leading to lower productivity. I would seriously question how productive they expect people to be after a 3 hour drive.

@liam7988 Why should they do this if it leads to lower productivity?

The difference between @roisinmurphy and other supposedly outspoken Irish singers is that Roisin speaks on issues with risk attached. The likes of Moore and May simply spout safe, nodding-dog platitudes they know everyone will agree with. Conformity masquerading as conscience.

@givern_robert @BelTel @SuzyJourno Tom Barry refused to support the hunger strikers in Portlaoise. Was he a West Brit wanker?

@liam7988 @BelTel @SuzyJourno Doesn't make you any less a west brit wanker

SDLP didn’t just get Bobby Sands statue vote wrong — it reminded people why it has been losing ground for years ✍️ @SuzyJourno belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comment/sdlp-d…

@ashstronge Because the Nationalist party that bombed the shit out of the place is really going to bring people with them

You only have to look at the accounts that are jumping in to defend SDLP on this tweet to see exactly why this decision was so poor. Being the unionists favourite nationalist party offers zero rewards

@theorangecrunch @Independent_ie Abolishing USC obviously wasn't popular or FG would have done a lot better.

@liam7988 @Independent_ie But it became a feature of their dwindling campaign which they did not honour. This, Varadka's statement and handling of the peaceful protest will come back to haunt them come the next election.

Lorraine Courtney: USC should be abolished for everyone earning under €100k to help ‘middle Ireland’ buff.ly/YVAqrDh

Sinn Féin's engagement with Arab Barghouti reflects their long-standing ideological alignment. Barghouti’s father, Marwan Barghouti, is serving multiple life sentences for his role in the murderous attacks of civilians and membership in a terrorist organisation. This raises questions about what priorities might shape a united Ireland under Sinn Féin’s influence. For those who reject comparisons between the Palestinian conflict and the Irish Troubles, such associations are particularly contentious. Framing violence as “resistance,” rather than emphasising negotiation and political compromise, challenges claims of inclusivity and will most certainly risk deepening divisions rather than resolving them.

@rosscolquhoun @diffleypartners Still a desperately low figure.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 52% would say YES to Scottish independence, according to the latest poll by @diffleypartners. Independence support by age: 16 - 24: 77% 25 - 34: 75% 35 - 44: 66% 45 - 54: 62% 55 - 64: 43% 65+: 28% It’s comin yet for a’ that.

@givern_robert @BelTel @SuzyJourno The Sands family don't even like Sinn Fein.

@liam7988 @BelTel @SuzyJourno Fuck up Willie ya West brit wanker

@theorangecrunch @Independent_ie It was a new policy from October 2015 - Election was February 2016 and FG were polling well in 2015. So it wasn't last minute.

@liam7988 @Independent_ie Yes they were struggling with getting votes and came out with this last minute promise. When they scrapped in with an amalgamation of other similar political parties they renegade on their promise.

@theorangecrunch @Independent_ie FG's support went down in 2016 which is when the abolish the USC promise was made. Dropped from 69 seats back to 50 seats in that election.

@Independent_ie FG got into the Dail promising everyone they would abolish USC. But like everything they failed to deliver.

@ben1981c @mark_robinson_ @Blakey_78UTD The small clubs don't want replays. They do when its a Premier League opponent but not if its a League 1 team

@mark_robinson_ @Blakey_78UTD You missed getting rid of replays because 4 or 5 teams out of the entire FA happen to be successful and play in Europe too.

The real reasons the FA Cup has been devalued: - Clubs playing weakened teams - Rounds being spread over days, sometimes as many as five - Being on pay TV (i.e. not BBC or ITV) - Semi finals being played at Wembley - The final not being the last game of the season with a 3pm kick off Yet some people still blame it on United for not playing in it in 2000, even though they wanted to but weren’t allowed to. #MUFC #ManUtd #FACup

@darin_burrows @mark_robinson_ I think the start of it was the expansion of the Champions League which already had 3 English teams when United withdrew.

@mark_robinson_ Nope, don't blame them; as you rightly point out, they wanted to. All your other points are also correct; however, being pulled was the start of it. Plus, the boredom of pretty much the same clubs in the final, most of the time.

@mark_robinson_ Agree with your points but also there being 3, then 4 and now 5 Champions League places in the Premier League. Winning the FA Cup is now same value as finishing 6th in terms of the European place on offer.
