Noted anti-militarist and occassional guest at Iranian missile facilities calls my reporting "absolute bollox". I'll take it on board

This is likely the British warship guarding the EU meeting in Wicklow. It's 33km off Lusk according to satellite. Corresponds to where the Merlin helicopter was operating from. The length suggests its a Type 23 frigate of the type in the 3rd pic. Credit to @puca.bsky.social who spotted first

I'd take these arguments a lot more seriously if they didn't spell defence with an S

The Government continues to refuse to acknowledge it is receiving help from foreign militaries. It's getting a bit ridiculous a this point

Christ, the poor emergency services to had to respond to this. I hope they're getting proper support www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Minister Niall Collins on RTÉ's This Week programme claiming the Aughinish report couldn't be released because it contains "commercially sensitive" information. Perhaps he should read the report, particularly page 16

On Friday the Government published a terse 450 word summary of its long awaited report into Aughinish Alumina. It was light on both detail and definitive conclusions We obtained the full 51 page report. Read what's being kept hidden in Saturday's Irish Times

The DF showing off newly developed layered approach to counter UAS operations. Helicopter mounted machine guns, handheld signal hammers and, if all else fails, shotguns loaded with 12 gauge buckshot

Conor Gallagher @conorgallagher.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

This framing is bizzare. It was never accused of breaching sanctions. Alumina isn't sanctioned. That's kind of the whole point

Our visuals team made this nifty little gadget showing just how similar the Russian and EU websites are (one of many, many similarities)

Aughinish and Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke said this morning the official data is not correct and that Aughinish gave the wrong export figures to the CSO. They say real export figure to Russia was 45 percent

Starting last Saturday, a day after voting closed, various accounts on Polymarket placed $2,903 in 99 transactions on Sinn Féin councillor Seamus McGrattan to win the Dublin Central by-election. McGrattan was not a registered candidate in the election.

I'm confused by this announcement. Ireland doesn't have to pull out. The triple lock allows for deployments of 12 personnel without a mandate. We only have four in Irini...

An Irish Army team has won gold in the Sullivan Cup, an international competition run by the US Calvary Corps. They won the Bradley competition which is quite impressive given most of the participants probably never saw a Bradley until last month

Listen, he shouldn't have said it and it's not true but it's also a fairly hilarious line

Exports of alumina from Ireland to Russia have surged in recent years, despite Russia’s stagnating civilian economy. Aughinish and the Russian smelters are owned by Rusal, a company with deep connections to the Kremlin and Moscow’s arms industry.

For the first time, the Naval Service will have clear legal powers to protect Irish waters, without first referring to another agency (Coast Guard, Customs etc). Fairly crazy this is only happening now but there you go

Maybe they're going to the evening screening in Liffey Valley, the only other cinema showing it. Five seats booked

A grand total of zero seats booked for tomorrow evening's screening of the Melania Trump documentary in Cineworld. You'd think the US ambassador would at least head along
