Yaay, can’t wait to see the Irish wine industry take off. We may have nothing to actually eat in future but we’ll hopefully be too hammered to care.

John Wilson: Could Ireland benefit as climate change makes wine production difficult in warmer climes?
We are likely to see a move to cooler regions and countries including Scandinavia, Britain and, yes, even Ireland

They're going to have to mic up the referees with these new rules. Very confusing at times trying to figure out what's going on. All in all though, new rules are brilliant. Making for very exciting games! #GAA

Naomh Pádraig have rolled on to Croke Park for the All Ireland final in two weeks.

What a day in Parnell Park. Game of the season & a fully deserved win.

Thrilled for every man on that pitch today, and so proud of my dad and my brother Eoghan in the management team.

We go again. Hon Muff!

But but but it costs TOO MUCH to tackle #climate change, it’s so much cheaper to just let it happen. Just ask any mainstream economist.

All three in now! Congratulations to them and to all of our Labour TDs. What a day...more to come! 🌹
This is looking like a very good day for Labour.

Not only does Marie Sherlock look like she's going to be elected, but Mark Wall and Conor Sheehan are firmly in the hunt too.

Happy days so far. Nothing to be taken for granted obviously, but a good start 🤞🤞🌹🌹

A positive thought before bed - the very learned and esteemed Prof. John Bowman believes @mariesherlock.bsky.social will beat Gerry Hutch. And with that - goodnight! #GE24

Just a reminder of the peak moment for the Irish electoral system, which occurred during the 2020 election.

There has been much begrudgery about the fact there will be 10 leaders in tonight's debate.

But doesn't it go to show that we in Ireland have one the most representative democracies in the world?

How many other countries have parties that genuinely represent all interests? Looking forward to it!

The far-right have no interest in protecting rights of people at work, and their actions ought to be heard as loudly as their rhetoric.

Great piece here from Dan, laying out clearly the contractions of these far right groups.
Far-right political parties across Europe often claim that they are advocating for the “common worker.” But, a recent report by the Workers’ Group of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) reveals a different story danoneill.ie/2024/08/14/f...

Listening to a lot of Irish trad music lately, and I can only conclude that "roving" was once a much more popular pastime than it is today.

Five years ago today, I spoke in Dáil Eireann at the Youth Assembly on Climate.

Eamon Ryan was one of the only politicians to meet us that day.

Love him or loath him, his contribution to public policy in Ireland has been immense. I wish him the very best in the next chapter of his life.

We got away with that one tonight. Seriously unlucky for Argentina, given our last score came in the 30th minute.

Serious questions need to be asked before the next game #Ireland #IrishRugby

Alright Irish Bluesky - we have 3 weeks to go until the Toy Show.
Time to lightly bully your friends and mutuals to join the butterfly place and we *might* just have enough time to have an excellent live reaction space again. #SpeirGorm
