President Stubb about the amount of Ukrainian territory Russia wants:

I guess, for an American audience, and having studied in the US for many years, the best way to explain it is that if you take the relative land mass of what Russia wants right now from Ukraine, it would be a little bit like you giving up Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, even Virginia, and then bumping into Maryland.

@matthew_sede Is it a male or a female?

@austeni I think the first Sunday Address has previously been delivered from the Loggia rather than the window - pretty sure John Paul 1 did so.

@LOCthedreamer2 Well done to @IrishTimes and @IrishMirror!

[Luke O' Connor @LOCthedreamer2]

I'm often very critical of the Irish journalists

But fair play to that lady from the mirror who showed some journalistic integrity by taking on these two authoritarians.

Ruth Coppinger and Paul Murphy have nothing but contempt for free speech.

@RaymondArroyo procession through streets of Rome first since PiusXII?
Not so!
Paul VI died in Castelgandolfo and his body was brought to, and through, Rome.

@Seanfhear59 @rtenews It is a deeply anti-Catholic station, the modern-day version of the one-eyed nationalists who could only speak bad of Britain.

Nell McCafferty and Queen’s University

“She was among the early cohorts of Catholics admitted to Queens University in Belfast,”
Was there ever a time in the history of Queen’s when Catholics weren’t admitted? Shades of Mary Kenny’s letter on the alleged Edna O’Brien book burning?

@RadioBrendanRTE The house wasn’t done up because the priest was visiting - it was done because Mass was being celebrated there.

We were deeply grateful to @Pontifex for giving the band the chance to play for him. As their predecessors did 80 years ago for Pius XII. @FCDOGovUK @DefenceHQ

[UK Defence in Italy 🇬🇧🇮🇹 @UKDefenceItaly]

Today we had the honour to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of 38 Irish Brigade @ArmyinNI the first Allied troops to enter the Vatican after the Liberation of Rome. The Pipes and Drums of @RIrishRegiment played in St Peter’s Square for @Pontifex as they did 80 years ago. 🫡🇬🇧

A real hack take on the drafting of the Irish constitution, the laziest kind of liberal caricature possible. If ppl read @DonalkCoffey and Judge Gerard Hogans excellent accounts on how it came to be and you’ll see this take for the intellectual philistinism it is

@ConorMcDonough4 I had been excluding top left as it didn’t seem to be the classic form, but a relook leaves me less certain!

[Bryan Sheridan @BryanSheridan]

@ConorMcDonough4 Eh, actually at least three of them are not, in fact, the Miraculous Medal!
