@lstwrd @cooper_m @adrianweckler @malcolmbyrne @paulmurphy_TD Your segment on the Cliffs of Moher walking trail just now was the most ill informed piece of journalism that I have ever heard. Very, very poor.

In my 20 years as a journalist, I've never attended a council meeting quite like this. If I had included all the insults and random name calling, this article would have been 1,000 words longer. @IrishTimes

With all 180 boxes in the Ennis count centre open, the outcome looks virtually set. Timmy Dooley (FF) is set to top the poll with 11,041 ahead of Cathal Crowe (FF), Joe Cooney (FG) and Donna Mcgettigan (SF). #GeneralElection2024 #Clare #ClareChampion

Sinn Féin's Donna McGettigan is polling very strongly with 62 of the 180 boxes open in Clare. The Shannon councillor has 2,069 first preference votes according to a joint tally by Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party.

@GalwayCoCo hello, there is a large tree down across a road in Burrogue, Kylebrack, Loughrea. Thanks

If this is not corrected in the next bulletin I will be making a complaint to Ofcom. I though we were past this terrible and dangerous journalism. Very disappointing.

@bbcworldservice your correspondent on News Hour has just spoken as if nationalist are the only militant threat to the police in Northern Ireland. This is entirely incorrect and damaging information and needs to be corrected immediately.

A piece in this week's @Farming_Indo about the River Feale in Kerry. Rewetting of farm land is going to effect thousands of farmers in the decades to come. It is critically important that this is done in a fair and open way.
