The results of the #GeneralElection2024 showcase the innate laziness and faux concern thousands of young people have for the significant issues facing Ireland.

If you couldn’t get off your arse to vote, you lose the right to complain about housing, the cost of living, etc.

@JoeNaConnacht Recreating the wheel rather than trying to restore it to what it was strips away the culture of the sport.

I think the GAA have significantly overdone it with these rule changes.

Aidan O’Shea should play for Connacht more often.

€335,000 for a bike shed at Leinster House but I’m still waiting to hear how @GalwayCityCo spent a quarter of a million euro on these ridiculous benches. Where’s the money going, lads?

And so begins the swathes of “Win Tickets to Oasis” competition reshares by people who have only listened to Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back in Anger.

The IOC are a complete joke.

Best Olympic “cauldron” ever.

A perfect weekend.

@EwanMacKenna What a daft take. “Skill set of an under-12” yet put on the kicking show of the year in the first half.

Anthony Nash - “People think people down here in Cork might be a bit cocky..”

Cork haven’t won an All-Ireland since 2005, lad.

Opening ceremonies at football tournaments are diabolical. Stop, please.

Anti-Ireland Israeli propaganda gets an E- from me. They could have at least made it funny.

Ireland, if your goal was to reward terrorism by declaring support for a Palestinian state, you’ve achieved it.

@SimonHarrisTD, Hamas thanks you for your service.

Fury claiming that the judges sided with Usyk because Ukraine is at war is *slightly* off-colour.

The stamp on Comer. Ulster football at its finest.
