@colmflynnire @HenryMcKean Best of luck Colm and Paola!

Some personal news from Paola and me as we wrap up an incredible time in Rome, and embark on a new adventure in the USA! 🇺🇸

OK hear me out, idea for a movie. Joxer he of the van& Stuttgart fame had a son. The Son travels to Prague for the Ireland game. He repeats Joxers actions and 9 months later a beautiful Czechia woman and baby undertake a quest to find Joxer Jr ..Im calling it The Child of Prague

In 1993, a local Chicago reporter covering the St. Patrick's Day parade spotted Tommy Lee Jones filming a movie amidst the festivities and stopped him for a quick interview. The movie was THE FUGITIVE 🔥

@Broonjunior @threeredkings @Overthehillprop @OvalDigest Hello - I might know someone interested. Do they need to take both? And how much?

I have two spare tickets for France v Ireland next Thursday. Anyone interested let me know. Would appreciate a share @threeredkings @Overthehillprop @OvalDigest

This is great.

Declan for RTE sports personality of the year #LateLateToyShow

@NoelRock @GavinBarwell @SpanbergerForVA @MikieSherrill Hmm. I think it’s worth bearing in mind the general, and improbable, rise of Mamdani through the primaries too. With the vote I think you also need to factor in the republicans basically coalesced around Cuomo too. I also appreciate this isn’t the point of the thread 😂😂

@GavinBarwell @SpanbergerForVA @MikieSherrill Yep. Wonder what lesson will Dems take. Only one is getting all the headlines alas.

Interesting that Lucy singles out Mamdani, a socialist who underperformed Dem vote in NYC, and not moderates like @SpanbergerForVA and @MikieSherrill who won big

@SuzyJourno Hmm. If SF had run a candidate (say Mary Lou?) they most likely would have won this easily… so seems like a missed opportunity for them?

SF has played a blinder. FF, FG & many in the media mocked Mary Lou McDonald for her “game-changer” announcement on the Irish presidential election. But the party's decision not to run & to back Catherine Connolly has been truly transformative.🧵(1/2) belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/news-a…

The things you see going to do the Saturday shop. Sean Gallagher endorsing Heather Humphreys. #Aras25

#Áras25 Twitter is split between “my candidate’s a hero” from proxies and “they’re all duds” from the sceptics. No room for nuance.

This just gets better and better! Great way to put a smile on the face of any 40ish year old men you know. (Via DjTonyperry on instagram)

A special celebration was held in Dublin today to honour children and adults born with congenital heart disease. Inspiring stories were shared at the event, highlighting resilience and community spirit. More on #VMNews

@PadraigBelton @businessposthq Congrats on the new role!

Finally got to admire the @businessposthq’s dishy new newsroom (as opposed to old-oldsroom?) in my first reporting shift today in the new digs. (Move in happened last week: I was by a pool in Italy.) Friday’s when I’ll discover if you can finish a news shift there at 7 pm and be on an 8:10 flight to London. Watch this space.

@MiguelDelaney Delighted with this transfer, is this one to cover the LW/ST gap or could there be one more transfer to Arsenal? Eze doesn’t seem an out and out LW.

Exclusive: How Arsenal hijacked Eze... except it wasn't really a hijack The principles of a deal were agreed by morning of Sunday 10 August. That's how it could move so quickly, compared to Spurs independent.co.uk/sport/football…

@EwanMacKenna Sorry to hear that Ewan. Mind yourself.

40 years old. Big C. Bollocks.

One last piece from Portrush - This is one of my favourite Rory McIlroy stories, though it's not really about Rory McIlroy at all. (Free to read) Rory McIlroy’s Portrush gesture completes one man’s 19-year journey to replace what was lost the42.ie/6768794

Met a lady outside RTÉ trying to get in to do her shopping in the Lidl on the Fair City set this evening. It’s listed on Google Maps. I gave her directions to Tesco.

@BrophShane To be fair he acknowledges it’s big in Tipp or Cork but outside of that, it doesn’t feel as big as it should be. Even his point about the All Ireland final next year clashing with the World Cup Final, seems short sighted.

Eamonn must not have been in Cork or Tipp for the last 2 weeks. I haven't experienced a build up like it and this is my 13th Tipp All-Ireland Final i can remember vividly.

Beautiful writing in this weeks Ross O’Carroll Kelly column, an emotional rollercoaster. @AkaPaulHoward
