Sad to hear of the death of Sister Emily McDonagh, formerly of Army Nuring Service.
A permanent fixture in the Curragh she was prominent in looking after families forced out of their homes in Northern Ireland..

@john003 @rtenews She just torched him for his comments about the Pope!

Congratulations to all three. A proud day for the school.

Similarly achieved by St Mel’s College Longford in 2001!

[St. Peter's College @StPetersWexford]

Congratulations from all in SPC to three of our Past Pupils, Dan Doyle, Sam Turner and Martin Foley, recently commissioned as officers in the Irish Army. Three officers from one school in a single commission is no small thing. A proud day for the College.👏👏👏

@brendancruise Very good question!

[Barry @barrycrushell]

I did the maths… a member of the Air Corps is roughly 15 times more likely to make a complaint than a member of the Army.

@mattmawdesley 😂

In fairness to the statistics, apparently last year was an anomaly 🤷🏻‍♂️

“When we are in front of the WRC for the first time in 20-odd years, we take that very seriously.”

The WRC was established 10 years ago.

“Company law enforcer spends €334,000 on employment case.”

As an employment lawyer and taxpayer, I cannot understand how any WRC claim could cost so much in legal fees, unless the employer was given a blank cheque by the State.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

Is Ireland the worst run country in Europe?

“People who spend other people’s money in such a wasteful way are contemptuous of the citizenry.”

Defence Forces units arrive at Whitegate oil refinery protest. https://t.co/tCZJhnAeSU

[Barry @barrycrushell]

Calling in the Defence Forces against fuel protesters is a huge strategic error.

“By invoking the threat of the army to move tractors, the Government has proved every sceptic of increased defence spending right.”

[Shawn Ryan @ShawnRyan762]

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side.
They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will.
So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican?
