Blackrock Dart station in serious trouble. They'd want to be building some sea wall to protect it going forward. There's no where else for it to go.

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.

Why is Joe Brolly laughing when he asks Mary Lou, "Do you condemn the La Mon Hotel bombing?"

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

Fixed that Lowry video for ye.

Simon Harris rightly points out that Sinn Fein was very quick to look for an apology over a joke on the late late show, but they haven't been as quick to respond to the teenager that was inappropriately contacted by one of their Senators.

Seán Ó Fearghaíl is lying, it's from a famous Spitting Image Maggie Thatcher sketch for ffs. #aras25

The time Mary Lou and Michelle O'Neill were asked a question in Irish and couldn't answer. #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."

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

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

All the times Ciaran Mullooly was called out for spreading misinformation in the Seanad yesterday. I've never witnessed a pack of Senators from all parties turning on an MEP like this before. It wasn’t politics so much as a feeding frenzy on what's left of Mullooly's integrity.

Bob Geldof had the measure of Russell Brand.

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.

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

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

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

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary labels X a “cesspit” again, and calls for online anonymity and Grok to be made illegal.

Probably the most devastating take down of Sinn Fein tonight came from Deputy @podonovan The 22 children in the this state that grew up fatherless because of the dead gardai, put in to early graves by yer sister organisation.

Woahhh. Deputy Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD calls out Sinn Féin for playing both sides of the argument on the ground when it comes to the far right. She says she witnessed it in Ballybrack this summer. By a long shot the strongest speaker from the Government benches tonight.

Sinn Féin TD Cathy Bennett bravely tried to bounce back from her EU disaster recently by speaking in the Dáil today about Bluetongue plaguing Irish farmers. Unfortunately, she confused Bluetooth with Bluetongue and also appears unable to read a speech prepared for her.

Jim is asked repeatedly did he break the law. He obfuscates. Louise Burne says she finds it very hard to believe that he doesn't remember someone knocking on his mother's or father's door looking for clarity on money he owed them. #aras25 No way back from this for Jim Gavin.

Jennifer Carroll-McNeill eviscerates Catherine Connolly dithering about hiring a rapist to work in the Aras. #aras25

Have they tried more community outreach? That's the way to go, ya? More community outreach instead of arresting them so they're not a menace to society.

Gardai arrested far-right agitator Philp Dwyer just now. Philp Dwyer to Garda - "I'm a citizen journalist". Garda - "No you're not, you're a prisoner now".

€250,000 for a house that was petrol bombed in Finglas. This man deserves an Oscar or an IFTA at the bare minimum. I can't believe he kept a straight face.

On the evening of January 15th, Padraig (Pee) Flynn took to the stage on the Late Late Show and delivered a set of remarks so jaw-dropping they left the studio audience—and the entire nation—utterly flabbergasted.

Limerick man has some thoughts on a 3 bed semi-detached for sale in Clontarf.
