@movementcoachkm Agree on all fronts. RPE has a lot of flaws. Worked well in terms of the aerobic base work that I implemented. May have been lucky though in terms of athlete profiles. Will look into those apps for sure. Budget always the concern so need to work within the parameters given😭
@WestKerrylad@mickeyo1402 The idea that is a yellow at most is laughable. McGuinness should get banned by the letter of the law and so should Clifford. Its unfortunate to lose both especially Clifford for any period of time during the summer but he literally can be seen forearming an opponent!
@Mike_Quirke Sorry Mike. Can't agree on this one. In the first set of examples (or at least some of them), at least the defenders have some sort of time to evade the screen. In the second set, defenders are completely blindsided in most cases. Its not basketball.

Asked four times by @NickFerrariLBC, Reform's Suella Braverman finally identifies what she would describe as a 'dud degree'.
So true Eoin.. you mention NGO’s- it’s just criminal that there are 34,000 of these organisations that don’t create employment but yet get €6.2Billion of hard earned Irish taxpayers money every year and this is of course to the detriment of self-employed people and businesses
This act completely erodes the rule of law. The more acts like this becomes normalised, the more absolutely everything else becomes fair game and mutual destruction is guaranteed.
An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise, and its sailors paraded on land before the president.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo.
Breaking with all norms of civilization and warfare, we then refused to rescue the drowning survivors. The Sri Lanka Navy was left to pull the dead bodies from the water.
I am hard pressed to think of any other nation throughout history that would do something so cowardly and despicable. We are genuinely in a league of our own, and American media — mostly shrugging off the bombing of a girls school and acting as if carpet bombing Tehran is a normal military tactic — is deeply complicit.
It was a very long time ago so I’m not 100% sure what my view was then. But I think the issue is that Hamilton wrapped himself in the Union flag yet didn’t pay taxes here (and hasn’t done for most of his career as he left Britain when he was 22). Ratcliffe, on the other hand, built up a business over many years in the UK, creating jobs and paying huge sums in tax for many years. He didn’t leave Britain until his late 60s. And he doesn’t wrap himself in the union flag or get treated as a great British hero. So all a rather different scenario, don’t you think?
So let's address the human security of our people(s). That is multi faceted and takes a far broader and deeper view of "national security ". Let's address environmental security, food security, political security, housing etc etc. Ireland needs to take more responsibility.
Great to be part of this project. Some really important issues being discussed. Looking forward to hosting international and local partners in Ireland this summer!
Two of the team @BobbyMc2014@crewzer24 are representing us in an Interreg Europe project in Slovenia called 'Involvim". Polish, Portuguese, Finnish, Slovenian and Irish NGOs and local authorities working to improve inclusion of migrants in our communities.
The latest Global Inequality Report from @OxfamIreland released this week highlights how extreme wealth is becoming even more concentrated among the very richest –
Some of the key findings from the report are:
- Billionaire wealth jumped by over 16 % in 2025, reaching a record $18.3 trillion – an 81 % increase since 2020.
- Billionaires are now over 4,000× more likely to hold political office than the average person.
- The wealth gained by the world’s richest in the last year could have given everyone on Earth a meaningful cash amount and still left billionaires richer.
- The 12 richest billionaires hold more wealth than the poorest half of humanity combined.
This isn’t just about money. The report shows how extreme wealth shapes politics, media, climate decisions, and the everyday lives of millions of people. If we are to work towards a more fair, just and sustainable world this needs to change: https://t.co/LqmI2qZqd4
JOHN MCGUIRK: €288m is being spent this year on hot school meals for primary school children - but one principal tells me more than half of them end up in the bin.
