Majority of Irish fans. There was many positives to take from some narrow loses. Chicken Licken : The sky is falling!

Interesting new site offering Leinster coverage for a 5er a month. Not too expensive but with zero free articles and plenty of of alternatives not sure why I'd take the plunge without at least been offered a taste?

Jesus Christ this sounds terrible. These teams aren't good enough all you're doing is adding a pointless song and dancing not playing any of the 'top' teams before they get hammered in a quarter final. Reducing the number of games against top teams from 5 to 1! www.rte.ie/sport/hurlin...

Must be two Malcom Byrne who are TD's because the one I know is a FF TD. The party that's largely responsible for the state of the Wexford line. Others with responsibility are his partners in government

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

The gaping hole in Colm McCarthys article in the Business Post today is this "The only available evaluation of MetroLink’s costs and benefits was released as part of the TII’s preliminary assessment in 2022."..... A business case was published last week..... www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...

Was refused entry to the Ladies FAI cup final for ‘trying to make a political statement’ by wearing this jersey. Had to get the wonderful Shelbourne club SLO John Brennan to sort it out. Incase anyone was worried if the FAI couldn’t embarrass themselves any further.

I never understood the whole sports and politics don't mix thing. Maybe it's my GAA background and visiting Crossmaglen and Derry. Maybe because as I got into Rugby and learnt of the tours of South Africa during apartheid but it's always seemed like convinent excuse for soccer

In 2016, Galway City Council recorded data from several passive radar "Driver Awareness Signs". The limited amount of data was obtained under FOI. They never publicised the information and never repeated the exercise. No journalist ever proactively wrote a news report featuring the word "notorious".

How many languages does the URC have? My count has it at least 21 SA has 12 Scotland has 4 Ireland has 2 but SA and Scotland include sign language so we should include ISL too. Wales has 2 Italy is where I really got confused

Suggested new headline. Idiot drivers too stupid to avoid well known and well sign posted speed camera www.newstalk.com/news/speed-c...

Two speed cameras account for 70% of all fines - here's where they are
Since May of last year, they have collected €12 million in revenue from drivers.
