@ciaranmcalynn @eugenereid @Translink_NI Tickets for travel within the north can be purchased electronically without the need for a physical copy

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@ciaranmcalynn @eugenereid @Translink_NI As I said, it may be different for the enterprise

Do they have a similar electronic system at Connolly station, it's been a few years since I used the Dublin train and I did order them via the Translink page rather than the app.

Had to collect mine at the station

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@GMcK2012 Exactly, he survives on bitterness

Has been very negative any time I've heard listen to his shows on the fleadh catch-up

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@ciaranmcalynn @eugenereid @Translink_NI Btw I don't know if it's NFC or QR they're using

But over this last 6 years, I've always bought an electronic ticket and no physical collection required

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@ciaranmcalynn @eugenereid @Translink_NI Maybe different for the enterprise coming from Dublin, it's a shared operator service, so that may be the reason

The last 3 tickets I've purchased on the Portadown line this year, have not required a physical ticket

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@ciaranmcalynn @eugenereid @Translink_NI Nope, I buy my train tickets all the time via the app

Show it to the conductor and the exit from grand central, no need to buy a physical ticket

Guessing you're using it incorrectly

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

Sister's train home from the Fleadh on Wednesday

@fleadhcheoil

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@belfastcityfan @DarranMarshall They're not drinking themselves stupid

Most bars have trad sessions on, ppl are casual drinking

The bitterness is coming through strongly in you

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@Apaganplace1 @rabgee101 Be careful what you say, as you'll be called a liar.

I've mentioned before about PUL community going every year to different parts of the feile and got told that's BS

The ppl who do go, tend to go every year also

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@shimiMacGhille @otisepson @markbtuk @alan131162 It would seem, that some bitter people are trying their best to take away from the inclusivity of the Fleadh as they'd hope it wouldn't be as well accepted by both sides interacting and next to no nonsense

Worst I've seen is two drugged men fighting

Not bad going over 3 days

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@shimiMacGhille @otisepson @markbtuk @alan131162 You mean this one person and you're judging all republicans

If that's the case, you need to think again.

The general view across the Fleadh is acceptance. Flute/pipe/lambeg bands all being appreciated by all

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@whywouldthatbe @Revolution_IRL @JonBurrowsMLA Exactly, we need to embrace all positivity, including all those involved, even if we don't agree with their views

Keep the fleadh inclusive 👍

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@eamonn_ferry @PhillipBrett21 It seems the ppl with the issues with these protestant bands partaking are bigots like yourself

The sma amount of negative comments about the Fleadh are mainly coming from bigots like you

Majority of both sides are embracing all taking part, helping make it a success for all

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@irish_news The full song

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@SuperUlster @johngall__ Language is an important part of any culture.

Irish words are used throughout the north by both communities

place names within the north use Irish wording

Even loyalists paramilitaries have used Irish within their flags etc

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@SuperUlster @johngall__ Ive never said any protestant born on this island is less Irish than anyone else.

Carson was a proud Irishman, he didn't want Ireland to be partitioned and if my memory serves me correctly, Carson had hoped it would be untied again as part of the UK.

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@Cairnlodge1 Over 100k ppl in Belfast and you focus on the dregs who normally frequent the city centre

I would suspect it wouldn't have been long before the psni turned up

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@UnitedMarlob Are they pushing a political agenda

They speaking Irish, part of the cultural within the festival

Are they not allowed to take part

Unless we're missing something, can you please state the issue clearer here

[Colum Ritchie @ColumRitchie]

@SuperUlster @johngall__ Mostly true, however you've been brainwashed that anything Irish is republican and that includes the Irish language.

Look though history and see how big an impact Protestant ppl have had

Language, music and culture belongs to us all, if we want it
