Who's shaming Matt LeBlanc?
Saying he's like an Irish Da who doesn't want a dog in the house, but then a dog mysteriously arrives in the house, and then he ends up loving that dog, is one of the highest paid compliments an Irish person can give.

Charging drivers for dropping off people at the airport so they move to a "sustainable" method instead, but also getting rid of the Airlink bus, is really a perfect example of how Ireland does things.

The Late Late Show ran an actual program to raise funds for Ukraine. No issue with this of course, but who decides in RTE what conflict they have a position on and what conflict they need to remain neutral on.
RTÉ has confirmed members of the Irish Women in Harmony group were asked to remove badges and clothing which supported Palestine ahead of their live performance on last night's Late Late Show

Just thinking about how so many "working from home articles" were about people who converted their attic/box room/extension into a home office. Never much about the five people in an apt trying to share the broken kitchen table.

Some families have been living in hotel rooms as temporary accommodation for months and years. The lack of space has stunted the children's ability to crawl.
But suddenly a 10 day old baby in a hotel for two weeks has a certain segment of this site up in arms. Strange.

I don't recall when the Late Late Show was fundraising (rightfully) for Ukraine and had the set lit up in the colours of Ukraine , that the host said he's obliged to say there is another position on this. Either they're obliged or they're not

A reminder that Mother Burke and one of the sons, both rang up Liveline agreeing with each other's point of view, but pretended not to know each other. Just thought I'd mention that.

I worked on Eir tech support on Stephen's Day. Chap was living by himself. His wife died a few years back, and his daughter was living in another country. He kept insisting his email was broken because she had promised to send a photo of herself and his grandchild on Xmas day.

The great Irish abortion debate:
The 8th amendment was inserted in the Constitution in 1983 and caused so much harm that there were 5 referendums around abortion following it, and the Irish public voted to remove restrictions every time

The Judge gave yer man so many chances not to go to jail, but your man wanted to go to jail to be the victim, and all the others wanted him to go to jail to be the victim, and some journalists wanted him to go to jail to be the victim, and it's so utterly predicable.

No problem, I thought pay ranges were generally public information, most job ads show them when.
Glad that the transition year students are saving your business. Very unfortunate they can't work after 10pm.

No "let children be children" going on here. That's only if they're told about LGBT+ people or what sex is. Racism? That's perfectly appropriate for children.
Quite possibly the most concerning 10 seconds you will see from #Coolock tonight. An unknown adult inciting kids to chant 'Get them out'. This is deeply disturbing.

Journalism around the world is under threat from a growing number of authoritarian leaders who have no interest in being held to account for their actions. @sinnfeinireland have no interest in accountability. They never had. They borrow from the playbook of dictators and fascists when they seek to silence, threaten and put pressure on “inconvenient journalists” with lawsuits, threats, or commitments to “review their objectivity”. The media must be free and fair and hold those in power to account. Sinn Fein struggle with that basic concept. Their manifesto should ring alarm bells for every right minded democrat.

Almost everyday I watch a group of people get off the train at Broombridge, queue to tag off at the Dart validator, then queue to tag on at the Luas validator and hoping the Luas won't leave while they're doing this. It's pointless in the age of the 90 min fare.
Remember that you must Touch On your #TFI Leap Card using a Luas Validator on a Luas Platform before getting on a tram to ensure you have a valid ticket for travel, even when availing of the TFI 90 Minute Fare. See about.leapcard.ie/luas for info.
