It’s a simple choice today. You either support the public sector workers who provide a wide range of supports across all sections of society from birth to death; day in, day out; that the majority of us depend on and will need at various stages in our life. Or, you agree with Jack Chambers #strike

Public sector strikes are ‘unfair’ on taxpayers, says Jack Chambers I detest this Tory prick. In a government that has presided over a shambles of a health system, a housing crisis and a children’s hospital debacle to have the front to lecture hard working people. www.thetimes.com/article/f554...

Cheating fuckers

I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.

A sentimental post on the all-Ireland final My wonderful late father & I went to every final between 1982 & 2021. This means we saw Mayo lose 11 times, the last one being when Tyrone won in 2021 👇 All-ireland day is harder than his real anniversary Other than ‘21 he always wanted Mayo to win ❤️💚

All respect to Congo but you don't want England to go out like this - u want it in the semi-finals, on penalties, after a week of hysterical "It's Coming Home!" hype #WorldCup26

A case of “what if” for Tyrone. Plenty of positives but Kerry so clinical at times. Still needed a few favours from the officials to get over the line #GAA

Where are your fucking protests now ye bunch of racist pricks??

Hydration breaks are shite. Pass it on #worldcup

English commentators need to stop analysing Northern Ireland through an English lens! When you see anti-immigrant riots in Belfast, Ballymena or Larne and immediately reach for "Britain's far-right problem", you're missing half the story. This isn't just racism. It's loyalist terrorism. 1/

Well we’re all Scottish now I suppose

Magic in the air tonight in Kildare. Pope Leo must be near @josefoshea.bsky.social

Richie on the ball

Just lots of my favourite people in one powerful message. Class

Leftover pork belly hash. Top stuff #food

James Connolly was right.

Hi USA. More of this shit please. ❤️❤️

Love how Tyrone and Armagh are refusing to accept that the new rules make the game more entertaining #GAA

Nice summary of what’s really happening here at the minute. Bad faith fascists manipulating a serious situation and making it worse for the people of Ireland. Important to remember that very rarely do any of these get backed in an election.

That’s tough. The boys gone to bed a broken boy. Don’t have the teary to tell him that football nights go like this most of the time. Klopp had him spoilt. #Irl

Perfect half bar the mistake. It’s edge of seat stuff with the boy. #Irl

Me and my boy talking about how work and school are taking a backseat today because the excitement for Ireland v Czechia is just too much. #Ireland

Sneaky wee trip on a school night into the big smoke to see Alfa Mist in Whelans and sure CN Dumpling is around the corner so what’s a man to do.

It’s the small things in life that can make you happy, like arriving home to @imbibecoffee.bsky.social delivery

First pick of the new wild garlic season. Wild garlic, leek and potato soup in the pot. Two jars of wild garlic pesto (one for the forager). #foodsky

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Only amateurs celebrate Paddy’s Day on the 17th

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Can't stop laughing at a story my friend told me yesterday about going to meet a work contact at the gates of Trinity. He went up to another waiting man and said "Are you Michael?" "Yes" "Will we go for a coffee?" "Sure." Over a coffee he realises it's not the Michael he's meant to be meeting.

Kenny Cunningham actually gets paid for these predictions

Gotta love how Americans treat the c-word like it's the absolute worst curse, and should only be used in extreme circumstances. Meanwhile, my credit card wouldn't work in the shop today and the lady behind the till assured me that the machine has been "acting the cunt all day".

Sometimes you can be a churlish as old grumpy man but that performance from The Reds is absolutely class and just what we all needed #LFC

17,000 people are homeless, including 5,000 children, and rents have soared. Yet the Government still claims its housing approach is working. People should judge them on the crisis they’ve created, not their promises.

Bono is going to join the Board of Peace. Calling it now.

Only in Ireland do we have to charge families for students doing exams in school.

The 17,000 homeless people just need to read Stephen Pat Collins Leahy articles more and then stop being homeless | the Irish Times view on the irresponsible homeless community

Honestly. Look at this. Running a business without greed and giving back to communities. Just amazing. Go buy some coffee from them.

Release the pies

Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.

Doing end year numbers and total we'll give this year between the 3% to good causes and 1% to staff on top of salary/bonus will be just shy of €76,000. We're a company of 6 people and whilst this is a drop in the ocean, if a big corporate adopted a similar financial model it'd make a big difference.

Kudos to Pan Collins whose idea this was in the first place 50 years ago @rte.ie @rteone.rte.ie @latelateshow.rte.ie #LateLateToyShow

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.
