Ireland players wore black armbands too when Princess Diana died. The galactico of meaningless gestures.

Abair anois go dtiocfadh duine go hÉirinn ag 12 bliain d'aois. Déarfaidh an Roinn Oideachais leis go gcaithfidh sé díolúine a fháil ón nGaeilge agus i gceann ocht mbliana déarfaidh an Roinn Dlí agus Cirt leis go gcaithfidh sé buneolas ar an nGaeilge a bheith aige le saoránacht a bhaint amach 🙃

FF and FG have appointed Ministers for the Gaeltacht who can't speak Irish. Think they need reminding of that fact.

A few words on Katie Taylor
You could feel it from a very early age even though you might not have known exactly what it was at the time.

My first byline in The Irish Times was in 1992. My second byline in The Irish Times was today. Strongly suspect 34 years is a record.

Revolver is 60. It was The Beatles' third album in a year. Nine months later, the lazy arses released Sgt Pepper. This is why The Beatles are still underrated.

A cursory scan through the history of the phrase in the Dail shows that the government has said that nobody has a
'monopoly on compassion' when it comes to: what's happening in the West Bank, the treatment of animals in Ireland, the treatment of SNAs in Ireland, the Residential Tenancies Bill, Jeffrey Epstein, floods in Cork, the tragic death of Harvey Morrison Sherratt, energy prices, and 'the housing sector. All of those examples are from the last seven months, and I have not included every example.
