Formula One World Drivers Championship. Lewis Hamilton has entered the chat.

The Ciaran Frawley argument is getting really tiresome. He looked good when his team were down by nearly 30 points. See so many commentators who just ignore the fact that the scoreline at that point is a big factor in how someone performs. The pressure was off.

There is a lot of discourse in rugby commentary/punditry that nothing is a yellow or a red card anymore. A clear, reckless roll on Tierney-Martin, which he was lucky not to be seriously injured, and you have Quinlan and Duffy trying to say there's nothing to see here.

And now there's loads of shouting. Verona Murphy on her feet and manages to restore order . Order of Business now gone to a vote.

Also to the surprise of nobody, Sinn Fein, Labour and Soc Dems apoplectic that there is no Leader's Questions today. PBP and Independent Ireland also opposed. Chief Whip Mary Butler saying it's 'normal practice' to put forward a confidence motion' and that it supercedes other business.

And to the surprise of nobody, the Dáil's order of business is not agreed.

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

The Dáil is just about to get back underway. Straight into the approval of the order of business, which means there will be no Leader's Questions and, if business is approved (it will be, eventually), it's straight into the motion of confidence.

Genuinely can’t remember the last time I saw so many government backbenchers highlighting how upset their constituents were about an issue like I’ve seen with regard to the SNA Allocations this week. Said it before, during and after GE24, disabilities is a sleeper issue among the electorate.

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Education Minister has 'paused' review into SNA allocations following significant backlash. In a statement Hildegarde Naughton says she will engage with Taoiseach and Tanaiste in the coming weeks - and that no further letters will be issued until they've concluded.

The government don't have annual targets anymore as part of it's Delivering Homes, Building Communities plan. Instead it has a target of 300,000 by 2030. However, it did have a revised target for 2025 in its predecessor - Housing For All - which was 41,000. www.rte.ie/news/busines...

New safety cameras installed at the Merrion Gates level crossing in Dublin will detect drivers breaking flashing red lights and speeding with licence plate detection technology leading to fines and penalty points. They go live on Friday. My report for Morning Ireland: www.rte.ie/radio/podcas...

It’s been a while, BlueSky! Recently finished up with Newstalk and Bauer Media Audio Ireland after almost 9 years with the group. I’ve learned so much from some of the best in the business and I will really miss the place. Currently taking a short break before a new challenge next week!

NEW: Donald Trump has written to the Taoiseach to formally invite him to a meeting at the White House. Spokesperson for Micheal Martin says he is ‘delighted’ to accept the invite for the meeting which takes place in the Oval Office on March 12th.

Very important discussion on the plight of children with disabilities on @tonightvmtv.bsky.social, especially around a lack of special education classes and assessments of need waiting lists. Been doing a lot of work on this in recent months, genuinely baffled how it isn't a bigger scandal.

Suggestions that Catherine Ardagh (FF) and John Cummins (FG) will be the first-time TD's who will be appointed junior ministers when Cabinet meets this afternoon. Promotions in store for Niamh Smyth and Michael Moynihan (both FF), while Emer Higgins and Neale Richmond (both FG) look to hold.

The usual bad-faith actors, who consistently downplay weather events and gaslight everyone into thinking the same, are suspiciously very quiet this morning. Don't know if many of them are on BSky but still #StormÉowyn

Some structures around Dublin have been damaged, including a lamp post falling onto a house in Ringsend. Dublin Fire Brigade have received 14 calls related to #StormÉowyn as of 7 o clock this morning. Most involved trees/cables down and trees falling onto cars in some cases.

The Dail has sat for a total of 30 minutes since it reconvened at around 11:05am.

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Dail suspended for a further 45 minutes to allow government and opposition parties to meet in an effort to resolve the row over the technical groups.

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Incredible scenes. The Dail has been suspended AGAIN after the opposition called for Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy to publish legal advice she received in relation to the RIG members getting speaking rights from the opposition benches.

The Dáil is back, and there's more shouting.

Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy forced to suspend Dail proceedings after an almighty row with the opposition. 27 minutes is all it took. We are so back!

Also, the IRFU needs to consider a second AIL division in the women’s game. Only having one division means players will be poached from clubs who are trying to improve their status to the likes of the bigger women’s clubs. Let the game develop properly!

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Open to correction, but by my read of things 31 out of the 50 AIL clubs have women’s teams. Some of the remaining 19 have functioning underage girls teams which could develop to women’s sides down the line, but it’s not good enough in 2025 that it hasn’t happened already.

Labour has officially withdrawn from talks about potentially forming a government. Leader Ivana Bacik says the 'policy gap' between Labour and FF and FG would mean it's 'not possible to implement policy priorities' in their manifesto.

020

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Labour leader Ivana Bacik admits the party is 'unlikely' to go into government with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. She wants to meet with both Micheal Martin and Simon Harris seek a 'substantive response' to the party's policy priorities before making a final decision.

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

A reminder that the new Dáil hasn't even sat yet

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Labour leader Ivana Bacik will meet with Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin tomorrow, and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris later this week. Hard to see how you convince Labour to come on board to a government platform that your teams are negotiating without Labour in the room.

110

Andrew Lowth @andrewlowth.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Fianna Fail and Fine Gael's negotiating teams are to meet tomorrow to start government formation talks. It follows a meeting of Micheal Martin and Simon Harris today.
