Save the world? Retweet the Peatlands because #peatlandsmatter

@876arsenal That's as clear a dive as you'll ever see. Doku was falling over before any contact was made. Poor officiating.

@Muinchille The Hanseatic League lasted for 700 years. How long will the treaty of Rome last. While Rome always falls it can take a very long time to do so.

When did bombings ever lead to peace? There are those who would argue that Hiroshima and Nagasaki did just that. However, it was at the cost of hundreds of thosands of lives after a global war where countless millions died.

It is highly unlikely he will be sacked any day soon.

Enjoying a cuppa at Placebo in Ros Ard our new dog friendly café. Well worth a visit.

Yesterday was my first meeting as a TD on the Committee for Further & Higher Education.
I raised issues from therapist shortages & nurse emigration to Irish language targets, third-level funding & access barriers.
Plenty to do — excited to get to work.

Crocii in the University of Galway. Spring is definitely in the air.

Thankfully power was restored to most of Knocknacarra yesterday at 16.20. Thanks to all those who worked very hard to get it back.

[Niall O Brolchain @NiallOB]

Thanks Hildegarde. However the website crashed and we still have no power in Ros Ard along with large areas of Knocknacarra and that website has not even logged the fault yet. Also we have no idea when power will return.

@acurno Still no power in Ros Ard Alan. Any updates you have would be appreciated.

[Niall O Brolchain @NiallOB]

@OConcagh18054 @VirginMediaIE I saw Virgin working on the Western Distributor road earlier. Power is due to be restored in Knocknacarra by 1am apparently.

[Niall O Brolchain @NiallOB]

Our power is out today in Knocknacarra in Galway City. There are a lot of trees and power lines down. We have no idea when power will be restored.

[Niall O Brolchain @NiallOB]

@Dav22211 In fairness the maths was way off. It was based on the last parcel but it did predict the correct result.

[Niall O Brolchain @NiallOB]

My maths says that Noel Grealish will win the final seat in #Galwaywest by about 57 votes from Noel Thomas.

Tally Accuracy #GalwayWest #GE2024. Down from 94% in #GE2020

[Niall O Brolchain @NiallOB]

In #GE2020 the #GalwayWest tallies were 94% accurate. In #GE2024 they were only 85% accurate. This was mainly down to the tallying starting before the talliers were let into the Count Centre. The first count was announced after 14 hours of counting.
