This is not the first time Sinn Féin have been embarrassed by their lack of knowledge about the Irish language. Ag ligean orthu gur slánaitheoirí na Gaeilge iad, cé nach bhfuil focal Gaeilge ar bith eatarthu. Liúdramain.

I've clipped the audio here. Bit to unpack. Bryson is not a lawyer. I phoned around, and he didn't meet any reps from the DFA on behalf of Donaldson. He didn't meet any EU ambassadors to Ireland; they don't exist. Also, there wasn’t even an EU ambassador to the U.K. then.

One of the social media ring leaders of the current fuel protest says, "fuck them c*nts" about people struggling to get to the hospital for appointments or get urgent medical care.

One of the great endings to RTE's Reeling in the Years. Bertie saying he would take great pleasure in watching non-compliant taxpayers go to jail - 'cause that's the kinda person I am.' To the background music of "I Got Friends in Low Places". (1993) #aras25

Michéal Martin absolutely scalds Richard Boyd Barrett in the Dáil. Someone call a burns specialist. "It's great to be virtuous, deputy, but for the workers’ representative, you lack all virtuosity when it comes to protecting Irish workers."

When Blatter is calling you out for corruption that is when you know your goose is cooked.

Protesters almost coming to blows with people trying to get to work.

Sinead "paint yer nails" Gibney got pretty upset in the Dáil just now because she didn't get a letter of some sort in relation to being on the Artificial Intelligence committee.

Pick your jaws up off the floor for this imbecility. Cathy Bennett, Sinn Féin TD, member of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Asks how much Ireland has put aside to find a candidate for the upcoming EU presidency. She had to be told it was Irelands turn to host the EU presidency.

The pollution at Aughinish Alumina is something to see. 183 Hectares of death.

Go pick your jaws up off the floor after watching this. Footage of Catherine Connolly telling the Dáil that the attempted assassination of Sergei and Yulia Skripal should be seen in "context" because of the EU and NATO building missiles right up to "Russia's borders". #aras25

Old dear takes on a protester blocking the road as she's trying to take sick children to hospital.

A housing activist challenges Catherine Connolly as being the "barrister for the banks" in Galway. "I don't understand how you can make speeches about homelessness if you're partly responsible for evicting people out of their homes" #aras25

Every single time I see another revelation or story about The Peter McVerry trust, I'm reminded of this by Conor Skeehan about how some charities operate. Listen very carefully to what he says.

Joanna Donnelly withdraws from #Aras25 race.

Simon Harris vs. Mary Lou #GE24 It was probably the most devastating take down of Sinn Féin and Mary Lou Mcdonald recently. #GE24

Simon Harris hits back at Leo Varadkar. "I've never believed in dividing people in to where they live or what jobs they do."
