Another year of boycotting @eurovision.tv because of their double standards. War crimes - Genocide - Enforced Starvation. These are human rights atrocities. This is ethical not political. It flies in the face of what the Eurovision purports to stand for. #boycott #Gaza #eurovision @rte.ie

It's a perfect example of the Construction Industry's tactics. Owned since the 1990s and deliberately and strategically left to rot so they could get permission to demolish for redevelopment (in direct contravention of the recommendation they not be allowed to do it)

A gentle warm read for Easter Sunday about one boy's labours in his mission to take part in his school's break the rules day. The list of rules to be broken for a small price makes me smile.

Katy Perry went to space, cried "feminism" while NASA's forced to remove women's achievements from their history, caused an enormous amount of environmental damage, & contributed NOTHING to art or culture while she was up there. She released a set list for a tour that can't even give away tickets.

What a surprise... Not. Even if they had grovelled before the mandarin 🍊 man last week they would still have been betrayed by rUsSiA... The current administration has no honour, and their word means less than nothing, and agreements aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

What is it with public transport in this city? There's about 100 people at least at the Luas stop on Stephen's green and on the timetable there's 3 Luas supposed to be the same time away. 🫠 The one on the board as "Due" has just gone past completely empty without stopping... Absolute joke. #TFI
