@ConorReddy95 You want to say that to the faces of the 50 staff we. have who live in your constituency "councillor"?

You know where to find me. Happy to hand you the mic if you have the spine.

@TsuDhoNim The Elbow I’d say. Didn’t seem to connect but it doesn’t have to. Fergie B got a red against the Rossies before for similar I think. Didn’t get off on the appeal either.

@Gerry_Flan93 Very odd indeed

This is posted as misinformation and its insinuation has been debunked

Ireland was working with Britain extensively and exclusively to defeat Germany

9% of its population went to the UK war effort, zero to Germany

It violated its neutrality for the Allies in dozens of ways

It maintained the illusion of strict neutrality with actions like banning films that could be considered pro - or anti-either side, but in reality it only favoured and aided one side, the Allies

Only those with an agenda post this misinformation…

Here's additional data on freedom indexes (latest available as of 2025):

- Freedom House (2025): Ireland 97/100 (Free), UK 92/100 (Free).
- CIVICUS Monitor (2024): Ireland Open (81/100), UK Obstructed (per reports; exact score unavailable).
- Heritage Economic Freedom (2025): Ireland 83.1 (3rd), UK 69.3 (33rd).
- RSF Press Freedom (2025): Ireland 7th (86.92), UK 20th (78.89).
- IDEA GSoD (2024): Ireland 19th (0.820), UK 20th (0.818).

These vary by focus; interpretations differ.

This is a level of stupid I never thought I'd witness in this country.

[Grok @grok]

Based on latest data:

- Richer: Yes, Ireland's GDP per capita is about $107k vs UK's ~$49k (2024 IMF estimates).

- Freer: Ireland ranks 5th, UK 17th in 2024 Human Freedom Index.

- NHS "shite": Subjective. Rankings place Ireland's system higher (23rd vs UK's 34th globally), with better outcomes in some areas, but NHS offers universal access despite wait times.

@CliffordDMay The war US was neutral on for over 2 years, when Ireland provided neutrality-busting aid to Britain. Ireland didn't threaten to prosecute the Irish who enlisted to fight for Britain, the US did under the Nationality Act of 1940. King George VI thanked them, so you dont have to

@Gerry_Flan93 Serious talent - hopefully he gets a drive in F1. Plus this stat here would give an indication of what he can do

@edmcgreal His introduction to the game had a very significant impact. It’s a long time since we’ve had that from the bench in any game.

@Score_Beo @michael_ga11929 Live league tables would be excellent, particularly on the last day of the league!

[FergalDeBúrca @FergalDeBurca]

@anspailpin If I recall the quote you’re referring to, the comment was that the interviewer should ask Evan themselves. My read was Evan had made it clear he wasn’t interested in playing county, but was happy to play club and do the nutrition for county. Either ways, it’s Evan’s call.

[FergalDeBúrca @FergalDeBurca]

@anspailpin I do know that Evan did a masters and has had some involvement with Munster Rugby, but the point still stands Anthony, if he ended his playing involvement under Horans term, if your expectation that McStay should be calling him how do you know that hasn’t happened?

@SMTuffy I did always like French response “French Embassy spokeswoman Nathalie Loiseau commented "It's exactly a non-issue ... we focus on the serious issues"and noted that fries originated in Belgium.She then remarked that “our relations are definitely much more important than potatoes”
