Drumcondra is full of Leinster rugby supporters going to Croke Park who’ve never been north of the Liffey, and IT SHOWS. Border patrol at Connolly Station was like a zoo – none of them had passports, and customs had to check their 'culture shock' rather than luggage.

This is by far the most abusive and hurtful email I've ever received. Marketing comms from Irish Rail promoting taking the bus to the airport.

Greyhound racing is going to be outlawed in Wales… with a popular petition cited as having an influence. It’s notable that one of the topic tags used by another news outlet was “gambling”… but here’s the thing everyone is coming around to: greyhounds are pets, not bets.

"Trump threatens 'very high' tariffs on Denmark over Greenland"
Guess that means OZEMPIC which one of Denmark's biggest exports to the United States is either going to be more expensive, or the highly in-demand supply will go elsewhere!

I’m still recovering from the stunning

Helping a family member by setting up a new smart tv for them and getting them sorted with internets. I’m absolutely blown away with how fast the 5G router is. Even faster than the fixed line internet here (and over half the price).

Absolutely extraordinary radio that @clairebyrne.bsky.social on @rteradio1.bsky.social isn't challenging the stark revelations that Santa has a quantum computer recording everyone's data from the moment they're born.

Israel’s Dublin embassy closure impacts the citizens of Israel most: no consular services, no visa support, no legal, community, or cultural help. While there are theatrics involved, the reality is that closing an embassy primarily affects a country’s own citizens living in the host nation.
Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of 'the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government', Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said in a statement

I'm a fan of the original Stanley Kubrick movie, and was gifted a ticket to @aiannucci.bsky.social's Dr. Strangelove in London last month. It was so good I've bought tickets for Dublin.
