Though Social Democrats TD Eoin Hayes wrote last month that losing a job is "one of the most traumatic events a person can go through”, he co-led a team responsible for cutting 200 jobs at a global tech company – including 70 roles in his own constituency

A long time ago I heard it said that Michael Noonan was not Ireland’s Minister for Finance but Finance’s Minister for Ireland, and I am often reminded of that

appreciate the Irish Times proclaiming that The Phoenix folded due to the quality of its content and then publishing three stories based off an interview with Pat Rabbitte

Thank you for telling us that the reason you want to get rid of the Triple Lock is so Irish troops can be sent to fight in Lebanon against Hezbollah.

@davidmcw even when they were reporting that you thanked the israeli embassy for supporting the book festival then deleted it? what was the story there?

[Michael Coleman @noironyintended]

A lot wrong wit this article but suggesting that the North 'doesn't have a coherent political force on the right capable of channelling this energy at the ballot box' is a genuinely insane thing to say lol

It will never occur to her, but it should surely occur to her handlers, that Finn McRedmond hasn’t the first idea what she’s talking about.

Any Irish person with an ounce of historic memory will view the scenes in Belfast last night - loyalist pogroms, burning families out of their homes - with utter disgust, the only people cheering it on are the worst reactionary elements in the US, Britain and further afield

[Mark Malone @soundmigration]

Brain fogged Irish PayTriots cheering on loyalists burning people out of their homes once more in the six.

How many times have we seen this play out at this stage.

The Irish far right work of an internalised loyalist logic.

Siné.

[Paul O’Connell @pmpoc]

The attack in Belfast was horrific - here’s a British soldier posing with the head of decapitated Malay rebels in the mid 1950s - your country has done this and worse the world over, maybe you don’t want to recognise it

@Sharfowein @higginsdavidw @Independent_ie Here's some help to connect the dots: DC weigh on 22% of grid's capacity. On trend, they'll add 10% by 2030s.

Dublin's grid capacity is severely strained. Operators currently burn gas on-site to ease pressure. Their contingency plans presume this intensification will continue.
