Insane anchor leg from Sharlene Mawdsley to qualify Ireland for the women's 4 x 400 at the World Championships🔥

Beast mode💪

[Cathal Dennehy @Cathal_Dennehy]

Splits for the Irish 4x400m, and Mawdsley's is just as spectacular as it looked.

McCann: 52.35
Becker: 51.84
Crossan: 51.30
Mawdsley: 48.34

Some speech! 💪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[Madeleine Ebbs @MadeleineEbbs57]

Don't know who this man is, but OMG.
Long time since I heard anyone speak the truth with such passion. We need to be shouting this from the rooftops.
We need to wake drip fed sheeple...

🇮🇪 Spontaneous protests are forming all across Ireland.

What started out as fuel protest have developed into something much bigger.

[Sinéad O’Sullivan @SineadOS1]

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the Irish government! This is a peaceful protest that they so want to turn violent. I can't get over how bad this Irish government is! It's failure after failure after failure! They don't serve the Irish or Ireland! General election required🇮🇪

[Patrice Johnson 🇮🇪 @patricej36]

Shocking scenes in Galway.

The garda should be standing with the people not following the governments orders of brutality.

Tyrannical treasonous behaviour by the government.

[Anne @AnneD_1987]

The government no longer serves the Irish or Ireland! Shame on a government that would send in the Gardai & army against peaceful 🇮🇪 protesters! A general election is required urgently! None of these protests would be required in a country with a gov looking after it's people 🇮🇪

[Declan Ganley @declanganley]

Galway Port, entirely peaceful, even joyful #FuelProtest and right now AGS in riot gear arriving. I am 57 years of age and have been pro-Garda my whole life. Whoever is deploying these officers is carrying out an act of wilful provocation.

[Anne @AnneD_1987]

I actually cannot get over how this government has handled this peaceful fuel protest! Sending the army & Gardai against its own 🇮🇪 people is beyond disgusting! Especially when they could have explored speaking with the organisers of the protests & getting a reasonable solution

[TheLiberal.ie @TheLiberal_ie]

🚨BREAKING🚨
Gardai have pulled a fuel protest farmer from his tractor and aggressively thrown him on the ground.
Ireland is on the brink of civil unrest.
