@workerdrone4 @Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK Apart from new motorways, new metro on the way , children’s hospital, Dart extension, lowered taxes, improved health service, better public services.

@Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK The money has been absolutely squandered so we have nothing to show for it in terms of infrastructure

Europe dominates the list of richest countries. The US ranks as 16th while the UK is not even in the top 20. This is a new ranking which measures, not just GDP, but how wealth concretely translates into the daily life of the ordinary citizen. GDP per capita is generally a terrible metric, as it assumes national output is evenly shared across the population.

@Scullabogue @Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK No Ireland is not a tax haven. Companies registered in Ireland pay billions to Ireland in taxes. That’s not what a tax haven does.

@Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK You lot facilitate the biggest tax havens on earth

@Mark38160782258 @Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK All that tax take has made the country wealthy. An airport train does not measure this.

@Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK Ireland is not a rich country ! Have you tried getting from dublin airport !! And I live here ! We pretend we are rich with all the US tax take .

@Mr72Capital @SebJohnsonUK Ireland is not a tax haven.

@SebJohnsonUK Yeah not buying it Ireland and Luxembourg are clearly skewed by their Tax Haven status and to a lesser degree Switzerland. If you think Ireland is (on average) one of the richest countries in then you clearly have never been there. This new metric is as flawed as the old one.

@SaulGPowell @GaryHaubold @simongerman600 What a load of nonsense. At the time Ireland was a part of the British state. It was British land policy Ireland that forced Irish locals onto poorer quality freeholds that were only good for potatoes that made them reliant on it.

@GaryHaubold @simongerman600 The British state warned the Irish about the risks and they just kept planting the same crop.

Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).

@mattmellberg @AVL8ton @LFCHistoryShow No, he’s Jim Beglin, the footballer who broke his leg. Commentators are not very physical.

@AVL8ton @LFCHistoryShow Beglin the commentator who broke his leg?

Liverpool FC. 1988-89. Legends galore. But a couple of these players are not so easy to pick out? #LFC #LiverpoolFC #YNWA

@miaownianlab @ParadigmShiftin @Matt_Pinner No it’s Irish weather. Very simple.

@ParadigmShiftin @Matt_Pinner Love Ireland but English weather

If you were forced to live in Europe, Where would you choose?

@BriSmithy Ireland isn’t part of your imaginary house.

Sorry guys... Missed Northern Ireland Thought it was only first 2 in group. Full house then!

Qualified for World Cup: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Playoffs: Ireland 🇮🇪 Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Hopefully we will get all 4 there 🙏

@Derryfattoe @irish_news Strange to blame road and not driver. You drive to conditions and a VW Golf also had 6 people in it which no one seems to talk about.

@irish_news Dangerous road. Bad bends, poor lights and a dangerous slip road before a bend. RIP to those young people. 🙏

The names of the young people who tragically died in a two-vehicle crash close to the M1 motorway in Co Louth have been named. They are: Chloe McGee (23) and Shay Duffy (21), both from Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan; Alan McCluskey (23) and Dylan Commins, (23), from Drumconrath, Co Meath; and Chloe Hipson (21), from Lanarkshire, Scotland.

@SusanWareing1 @Coops2910 It’s not compulsory you know. I thought the wars were fought freedom. So he’s not free now to make a choice or change his mind?

@Coops2910 Exactly where is it ? he should not be on the program if he won’t wear the Poppy Sky you are a disgrace for allowing this !!!!

Where is your Poppy today Roy Keane

@Millers1964 Poopy is a choice and a free opinion not compulsory and he remembers that Irish people have died in Ireland thanks to British army.

Roy Keane very disappointing no poppy being worn ....he must have forgotten who died so he can have his opinions 🤔

@ManDogeMoon @jeremycorbyn What are you on about? Irish president does not decide immigration policies. Migrants won’t have a clue who she is. Also not all migrants are illegal. Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrante.

@jeremycorbyn Any illegal migrant will see these election results as an open invite to enter the country(due to the left’s weak immigration stance) No matter the laws.

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, the next President of Ireland. Catherine will be a voice for peace, social justice and a united Ireland. This is a landslide victory for humanity and for hope!

@XboxGamePass Well done Xbox. I’ve had every Xbox since 2001. Stuck with you after poor generation witn Xbox One. Subscribed to Game Pass since launch in 2017 and moved to Ultimate on launch. Felt that Xbox cared about gaming. Now it’s changed and all about money so I’ve just cancelled. Sad.

we've got updates! here's what's changing with Xbox Game Pass:

@michaelokunola_ @BetaProfiles Don’t rely on an algorithm to show you music of the same genre. Go discover new music and styles yourself.

@BetaProfiles They should fix the fuckin’ algorithm, it’s so bad.

New Apple Music features coming in iOS 26 🎵

@benonwine Ireland is fine and not in any mess. Stop talking about things you clearly have no clue about.

Ireland would be doing a good job electing Connor McGregor he would make a good job and start at cleaning the mess they have made of Ireland.

Connor McGregor says he’ll use the Irish military to immediately remove dangerous migrants if he becomes President this year. Thoughts?

@benonwine British people taking about Ireland and they haven’t a clue. McGregor has no chance of gaining nomination to get on ballot let alone get elected. Also President of Ireland is symbolic role without executive powers. He cannot summon army. He is more dangerous than any migrant.

@toomelady @davidmcw Broaden your mind. Dereliction is to do with years of bad Irish government and administration. Nothing to do with immigration. By the way no such thing as third world anymore since fall of Soviet Union. Look it up.

Morning. After visiting few proud foreign cities recently from Vilnius to Bilbao, the dereliction and shabbiness of Dublin is shocking, and getting worse. We need to sort this out quickly, with the right financial incentives. Here's a few ideas. irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

@vxmpontt @eoghanoakes @BackseatsmanLFC Do you see the word “Irish” in “Northern Irish”. That makes him Irish.

@eoghanoakes @BackseatsmanLFC He played a sport but he also chose to represent Northern Ireland meaning he isn't Irish he's northern Irish

Great picture of the three Irish lads

@keira_con @dmchammer1 @_mullally_el_ No you’re claiming they did without any evidence or back up. Onus of proof is on you.

@dmchammer1 @_mullally_el_ So you mate claims the HSE never sold organs ?

People should give consent if they want their organs donated. The government do not have a right to automatically take what they want from a person after they die!

@KennyShields5 @BelTel Cheaper because you’re poorer.

@BelTel Why is my local Tesco filled with cars from the south every weekend because it’s cheaper up here
