@daveirl I look at it like this, if the lads from Skibbereen win a medal, people do sometimes say 'Cork now has x medals in the Olympics!'

Technically correct but 'according to IOC statistics' wrong.I don't think anyone would question it?

Counties, and NI, both British inventions?

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@BelfastUrbanist @LonghoC @richardtgarland A new Ireland should absolutely be federated, 5 provincial governments wresting some powers back from central government. Anyone on either side of the border who expects NI to just be absorbed into a 'business as usual' ROI isn't wise.

New, modern, constitution, flag, and state

@JacobWMills When you beat the boss and your fingers hurt because you were pressing the controller hard with the tension

@liam_bs I'd remove 'pay to be on the ballot' from the equation entirely. If you can't get 60 signatures you're probably not going to be able to get 80,000 votes.

Shocking that this is required, some drivers have absolutely lost the plot.

[Naas Cycling Club @naascyclingclub]

Announcing a step towards enhancing the safety of our members by equipping our groups with rear-facing radar cameras, in response to an alarming rise in close passes, incidents of dangerous driving and, unfortunately, the serious injuries & deaths of cyclists on Irish roads

@FundTheNINE Here's hoping they do Mc Diarmada in Sligo, it would be a good location for a post apocalyptic rail scene.

@JacobWMills I think my favourite part of MM1 is just watching it and thinking maybe they just filmed the normal goings on of a bunch of Australians

@maolroid @OlaLN @gavinsblog Aye and that area is smaller than the area inside the North and South Circular!? It's just mad, Dublin feels way smaller

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@maolroid @OlaLN @gavinsblog Which ring road, for which city, are you using? If the inner ring of Paris then also the north/south circular for Dublin? That's mad, it feels a lot smaller!

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@PadraigMacA @adrianweckler Because it would cost several times as much for a lower quality product, these units are effectively 'off the shelf' with a well established operating record on other systems. Maybe we should develop train manufacturing, but it wouldn't be ready by next year when these are needed

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@jayloadsofnos @AndyHoops21 @CByrneGreen Then they should include it in their design/application, don't blame the council for the hack job the hotel did of their application.

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@ChronicAnxiety3 @Feljin_J As a result of which there is now a new consultation on those documents, isn't that good!

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@aarongrantdj Heard on the regular growing up in Belfast, so going to say universal?

@aarongrantdj I've a box full of them, in the attic if you fancy them, hmu

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@rogerokeeffe @tampopo2236 @IrishCycle So you'd agree then, that there should be no legal requirement for cyclists to dress only in bright colours.

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@rogerokeeffe @tampopo2236 @IrishCycle But you'd agree that legally, you shouldn't be allowed to buy a car in an unsafe colour?

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@FundTheNINE This is how I realise the Dargan Bridge is single track!! 0.0

While a feckin 8 lane motorway was being built beside it!!

90s planning really sucking on exhaust pipe fumes there....

[Conor Winchcombe @CWinchcombe]

@schmarlton @yascaoimhin You can tell they were only delighted with themselves about how nicely it all looped around "Dublin bay" and then 5 minutes before it was due they were just like "Bollocks, the red line goes to the point!"
