Please RT: If you have family diaries, letters or memoirs from firing squads of 1916 Rising in Dublin I'd love to read them (writing a book)

@frankmcdonald60 And if you build a block of apartments it's required that there be a park within a specified distance (I think it's 500 metres), so Paris is full of gorgeous, varied parks, not to mention the wonderful street planting

@DarrylBertie Excellent video on changing bathroom pull-cord switches. What's the name of the kind of volt tester you're using? All I can find is those little screwdrivers

@frankmcdonald60 What would you do with SMacD Street? I was there last week & it seemed utterly desolate & windswept - yet it's in the city centre, a perfect place for a new 9-storey apartment centre if beautifully built with spacious homes & facilities

@frankmcdonald60 Rathmines Town Hall could be back - the Conservatory is migrating to DCU, I think…?

[Lucille Redmond @Redmond_Lucille]

@frankmcdonald60 Every area needs a town hall - as in France, where the mairie is where all the local events take place

[Lucille Redmond @Redmond_Lucille]

@frankmcdonald60 Or so I'd reckon. What would you think, being more expert 😀

[Lucille Redmond @Redmond_Lucille]

@frankmcdonald60 Build homes, workplaces, shops, parks, school, library, town hall (with facilities for recreation and a small theatre for local shows)

@KevinKirkDub @thejournal_ie "Struck by" cyclist? If someone on a bike is hit by a car, @thejournal_ie, @Independent_ie, @IrishTimes, @irishexaminer etc always refer to a bike "colliding with" a car. Different modes, different rules, eh, folks?

[Lucille Redmond @Redmond_Lucille]

For all those drivers who park "just for a minute" in cycle lanes, this is why you shouldn't - you're putting people in danger with your selfishness https://t.co/3CCuAAGuSZ

[Stephen McManus @zynks]

Woman cycling in Blackrock a short while ago leaves raised lane to bypass illegally parked car and falls when trying to get back on lane. Landed on her face causing serious damage. Driver of car left, cyclist can't remember (concussion?), so no witnesses.

@xdemiansmithx @RSAIreland I cycle in everyday, literally every third motorist is on the phone and I have never seen a single enforcement in 8 years of commuting

[RSA Ireland @RSAIreland]

There is no excuse. Watch this eye-opening video on why you should never use your phone while driving.
