Mandy Johnston: ‘It was like that when I got here’ is not a credible communications strategy for wayward ministers
On taking office, this government did not promise a revolution but competence, yet this has sadly been invisible in recent weeks

Shamrock Rovers fans on plane informed me of another big result in Vienna. Beer in ground included €2.50 deposit on glass that most were unaware of. Young Rovers fan (U-12) spent most of game scooping up discarded empties & presented them at f/t. The €425 should cover his next trip

As noted by @mjnews.bsky.social in her first general election column for the Business Post- "Harris risks becoming a solitary figure, shouldering the weight of the campaign and, if things go wrong, the blame."

McIlroy chokes back a few tears after signing off the year with a deserved win- he was ludicrously consistent over the year, really. Tom McKibbin also birdies the final hole to grab the last of the PGA Tour cards on offer for next year

At the Fine Gael manifesto launch, the party has had to defend pledged additional spending (tax and expenditure) of €52bn - insisting that it is keeping the ship steady. Pledged spending is more than Fianna Fáil. #GE24

Harris’s “New Energy” promised a fresh approach, but instead, it has delivered a jittery, scattered tone that’s already starting to grate
