Good governance isn't sexy, its doing the basics right, picking the stuff that works. Good systems for administration, good research and development, simple implementation processes, asking the people who know/are affected what could be done, its not hard. Its just hard to tell governments.

This is the sort of efficiency that I fear DPER will push for in the upcoming public service pay talks. AI will just produce absolute muck, and someone will lose a grant or payment or worse a health appointment etc. #Speirgorm

Well said by Melissa Reddy here 👏 #lfc

Very hard to belive there's any integrity in the Refs when it comes to City. Considering what we've seen from the independent commission. This is the problem with leaving them in the League, its a sham, and it devalues everything around it. It also casts doubts and credibility on everything. #LFC

Wirtz makes a great pass make Gary Neville gives him shit for passing and not shooting,when kerkez wasn't switched on to make the run and have a free cut back. #Liverpool #lfc #epl

Yet again, for those at the back - RTE should be entirely funded from the public purse and removed from the advertising market, with a primary focus on quality journalism, culture, the Irish language and providing a platform to Irish writers and artists, and not two-bit entertainment "concepts".

Get in the Sea. The nonsense we go on with in this country with public transport. And now we're being told it's 2bn over what's in the NDP. Just build the f**king thing. Those fuel give aways have really come home to roost. #speirgorm #transport #ireland www.irishtimes.com/transport/20...

Spoiler it was never a gamble. Its a strategic move. The Anglosphere is too wrapped up in oil prices and carbon tech for profit to see China quietly setting the pieces on the board for its future plans #speirgorm #china China’s clean-energy gamble is paying off www.irishtimes.com/world/asia-p...

Peak Cork behaviour. #speirgorm #ATN #alltogethernow

German broadcast. Nailed it

Why is this absolute rubbish published. The best part of the article, the guy who wrote it, is from....Sheffield, in England 🤣he, "visits" friends and relations in cork. Surely this is a culture warrior out for a digital spin. #speirgorm #activetravel www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/your...

This sounds like a winner tbh #speirgorm because we cant keep going they way we are currently going. #climate

Has the 2nd Russian Pacific fleet made a comeback? And were there torpedo boats near by? #naval #history #navysky Russian frigate reportedly fires warning shots at British yacht in Channel www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

This by 100%. Its works in the Netherlands and it could easily work here. This is a no brainer, buikd a cycle track and let it make returns year after year after year for the price of maintaining a well let footpath. #speirgorm #transport

Then empower the public and civil service to do this? You can litterally do this, instead of commentating. As it stands its not unusual to be queried on an overspend or underspend of 18e. #speirgorm Public service must embrace risk to deliver big projects. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... This whole photo essay by the @theguardian.com s Sean Smith should be sent to @dieworkwear.bsky.social if gammon could dress up, it'd be this.

This angle of Wirtz’s finish shades of THAT Thiago goal 🤩 🇩🇪 #LFC #Liverpool #Redsky #CrystalPalace #PL

If the minister is of a mind to designate private offshore wind facilities as critical infrastructure, they shouldn't be in private hands. If we follow the logic that they are critical. #speirgorm #ireland #renewables www.irishtimes.com/politics/oir...

This graph should be on the front of newspapers. From Sinead O'Sullivan: www.butthistime.com/p/mind-the-gap

A good article by @thejournal.ie on the protests and there infiltration by the fascists. Its a balanced look at what's going on. #speirgorm How Ireland's far-right movement got involved in the fuel protests and tried to hijack them jrnl.ie/7009832

Got to love ireland, if Just Stop Oil did this everyone would be calling for their deaths. If farmers and truck drivers do this, lots of people think its great. We comment about Americans being stupid, many in Ireland need to seriously look at themselves.

Nah, enough now, clear them off the roads and let the country get on with life. #speirgorm the right to protest has firmly tipped into the obligation not to be a pack of muppets.

Played as well as we could, ran our legs off sometimes you just get beaten. #coybig #speirgorm

If Trump does what hes says hes going to do re gas and oil infrastructure in the gulf....he might just become the biggest driver of a shift to renewables in modern times. #speirgorm #politics #iran

Pair Nice starts today, so in honour cycling its time to post a classic from the days of GCN+ #bikesky #parisnice

This message needs to be said repeatedly and everywhere. Your granny heats her home: € in tax You drive your diesel/petrol car: €€ Michael O'Leary makes millions burning the same oil: 0, zero, zilch. I'd love some group to take out billboards, personalise it, get nasty #speirgorm

Bicycles do not require numberplates in Switzerland, even most e-bikes and cargo e-bikes don't However, if your e-bike can go faster than 25km/h it is classed the same as a moped and must have a license plate... ...which is exactly the same as the law here in Ireland, only here it is not enforced.

RTE showing the impact Troy Parrott had on their social media engagements at today's social media conference in Croke park. Massive spike. #speirgorm #SMDublin2026 @secondcaptains.bsky.social #RTE

Just build Dart+Southwest and invest public transport wholesale. And while we're at that, do all the climate resilience measures and transition away from fossill fuels. #speirgorm #stormchandra

How did i miss this? #LFC its hardly still the case is it?

Couldn't resist this unwitting echo of 'it's time for some game theory'

Grand Canal Greenway from Adamstown to Hazelhatch is now fully open

This must be fought head on and in the open. Start by emailing your MEPs. The EU and National government's have to address the inequality the average eu citizen feels. But, and I cant say this any more clearly....fuck the USA administration. #speirgorm #Irishpol also we need to Defence seriously

Layla burning Patrick left right and centre lol. #toyshow

Or to give it a proper headline, US doesn't want to have to deal with a Europe united in action and economical strong. JD and the Donald can get stuffed. Wankers #speirgorm US national strategy advocates ‘cultivating resistance’ in Europe www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

We'd have lost that game 7 days ago, one foot on front of the other and let's keep going. A draw and a fight back to get a point is a win for npw #LFC #liverpool

**Cough** this TII, this is how you fix the M50. You could also do the same re the M7🙄🙄 #speirgorm

Maybe TII could build stuff other then roads. Trains and train lines for instance? #speirgorm and maybe the Govt could bring in some real rules re work from home for those who can. It'll bring life into rural towns and ease child care along with getting work done. www.rte.ie/news/primeti...
