A few shots of some of the contestants in the Carlow U 16 Poc Fada at the Nine Stones in the heart of the Blackstairs on a glorious evening! Thanks to all the contestants and helpers. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

The Carlow Poc Fada is a very special event with very special people who absolutely love their hurling and of course the Poc Fada - the Nine Stones May 25th! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack @SetantaCarlow @gaaleinster @TheLeftWingBack

Incredibly beautiful evening for the Carlow Poc Fada at the Nine Stones on Monday evening! Some of the real greats of Carlow hurling who helped out at the event! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

@EnochBurke The Burke family has absolutely no right to be invading the space of public representatives as they have so often done and roaring and shouting at people.

BREAKING: Fine Gael Education Minister runs from Enoch Burke questions in Galway Schoolteacher Enoch Burke has spent almost 700 days in prison after refusing to use ‘they/them’ pronouns for a child. Hildegarde Naughton is the Fine Gael Minister for Education. She was protected from questioning when approached in Galway City last night. Hildegarde Naughton deceived Enoch Burke into sitting in front of Claire Callanan as Chair of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel which was to hear Enoch Burke’s appeal. The Chair is required to be independent, however Callanan is married to Lyndon McCann SC, the chief legal adviser to the Church of Ireland, and is herself an employee of the Church of Ireland. In no way was Claire Callanan an ‘independent’ Chair. Claire Callanan was appointed to this role by Hildegarde Naughton, the Minister for Education. This was an act of gross deception. This is a very serious day when the Fine Gael Minister for Education can deceive a young teacher by making him sit in front of a chair who is neither independent nor impartial and then refuse to answer questions when asked.

@rtetwip @loreillysf Not hard to understand that yes, the people are fed up with the angry roaring and shouting of SF in the Dail. Their policies have been rejected again in 2 by elections! Aine is right!

Áine Lawlor asks Sinn Féin TD, @loreillysf, "Is angry Sinn Féin a mistake?" after Janice Boylan's loss to Daniel Ennis, in the bye-elections for Dublin-Central. You can catch the re-run of #RTÉTwip on RTÉ One at 00:20am and on the RTÉ News Channel 3pm, 18:30pm and 10pm.

Great to meet and have a chat with Adrian Dermody, Carlow hurling kitman in Corrigan Park today! He - like us all is looking forward to Croke Park for the Joe McDonagh Cup final! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

Davy watching the Carlow v Antrim game today. His time with The Saffron's is over. Where next or will there be another intercounty job soon ? Hard to know! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

Fair play to all our Carlow hurlers who did their very best against a strong Antrim team today in beautiful conditions for spectators with lovely sunshine in a moderate breeze. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

A few images I took today in Corrigan Park today. It certainly is a very interesting place. The pitch by the way was absolutely superb. Great stewards who helped us out a lot with parking! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr @TheLeftWingBack

Congratulations to Antrim who put up a big score against us today in Corrigan Park. It is certainly a very pretty venue with a lovely backdrop! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

Thanks to Dublin man and ref Thomas Gleeson and all his officials for doing a fine job in Corrigan Park against Antrim in the final Joe McDonagh Cup game. Best wishes in the future. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

A speedy recovery to our Carlow captain of today in Corrigan Park , John Michael Nolan who took a heavy fall and has a knee injury. Best wishes John Michael - one of greatest ever warriors. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack @NaomhEoin_GAA

@EnochBurke The Burke's trying to remain relevant. Enoch has been dismissed and now they move on to a priest ! Burke's ultra narrow of badgering is becoming tiresome in the extreme.

BREAKING: PRIEST CONDEMNS ENOCH BURKE’S FAMILY BUT REFUSES TO CONDEMN LGBTQ+ IDEOLOGY Teacher Enoch Burke has now spent almost 700 days behind bars after refusing to endorse transgender ideology. Creeslough Priest John Joe Duffy made an extraordinary attack on the Burke family this week after they sought to speak with Minister for Education Hildegarde Naughton in Donegal. His comments were prominently reported across the local media in Donegal. However when we spoke with Duffy this evening he refused to condemn lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender ideology.

A few shots from the action between Leitrim and Carlow in the Tailteann Cup from Carrick on Shannon where Leitrim prevailed. Thanks for the great tea and sandwichwes! Much appreciated ! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

Congrats to Leitrim on their win over Carlow in the Tailteann Cup on Sat in Carrick on Shannon. They dominated midfield and that was the platform they used to good effect. Thanks to ref Liam Devenney. Overall a great year. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

A great day was had yesterday in Borris Golf Club for the Club Carlow Golf Classic! Great golf and food and company on a great golf course! Thanks to all who played and all the great sponsors! @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

Best wishes to our Carlow hurlers on Sunday when they travel north to play Antrim in Corrigan Park. They have qualified for the Joe McDonagh Cup final but this game will be very interesting to see how the team is progressing. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

Best wishes to Carlow football team as they take on Leitrim in Carrick on Shannon on Saturday in the Tailteann Cup. A big game for the panel! A tough game expected. @Carlow_GAA @Natsport @kclr96fm @TheLeftWingBack

@warDaniel47 Fed up with this man who oeddles populist baloney. As for Healy Rae, has shown he did not have the back bome to be in gov.

🚨WOW! 🇮🇪 Irish politician Ken O’Flynn just went NUCLEAR on the Irish Government: “You blame Trump for everything, but he doesn’t run this Country. YOU introduced the Carbon Tax. YOU turned the Army on the people. If any of you have a backbone, vote to collapse this Government.” ✅

@atrupar Listening to Mr Vance and his insinuations and efforts to denigrate the Pope shows clearly a profound lack of research. Trying to build a profile of the Pope that is false.

JD Vance: "One of the things I find fascinating about Pope Leo is he chose the name 'Leo XIV,' which of course is recollecting Leo XIII. Leo XIII was Pope during a time when incredible industrial transformation led to the rise of fascism and communism in Europe."
