Hello Friend

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

ah, I'd never finish it

First look at the LEGO Sagrada Família

It is the largest LEGO set ever made at 12,060 pieces.

Will cost $800.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@DaraghCassidy A big improvement and makes crossing the bottom of the street much safer already. The similar scheme on Francis Street replaced the plastic bollards with planters etc. which I assume will be the case here also. Unfortunately there will be c1 million parking signs.

It's only fair, for balance you need to ask students to answer the opposite question in all cases.

[David Quinn @DavQuinn]

The Politics and Society exam paper for 2025 contains a quote from Arundhati Roy saying nationalism caused most of the genocides of the last century. How about asking the students about communism's death toll? @CormacLucey @AnMailleach @danobrien20 @Casey5122dark

The Champions league final kicking off at 5pm on a Saturday is civilisational decline stuff.

@P_Soisialach too cheap to buy a ruler

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@F1_Jordan Don't care about the brit focus in the commentary (to be expected) - thought the sprint race direction was exceptionally bad though - at a couple of points commentators seemed to be asking why action around the track wasn't being shown.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@RobCross247 @cathalcoleman11 I think your graphic excludes pitches in the park that would fall within Dublin 8, as well as pitches in Islandbridge?

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

The government keeps finding new ways to give up on managing delivery of housing.
So afraid to directly build at scale and unable to encourage planned private building at scale they've turned to 'throw up whatever you want in your back garden or field or wherever'

[Mícheál Lehane @MichealLehane]

Tánaiste Simon Harris has told the Fine Gael parliamentary party the Government is preparing the biggest overhaul of rural housing rules in two decades to make it much easier for families to build one-off homes.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@RobCross247 Rob I basically agree with the point you are making about lack of inner city facilities but why are you excluding the Phoenix Park pitches from Dublin 8 when they are in Dublin 8?

[Eoin Ó Nialláin @eoinneylon]

This month the drunk/drug driver that mowed down and killed my uncle on a Clare road was sentenced for her crimes. Today Clare Co. Co. effectively victim blamed uncle Mike for his death at the hands of a drunk/drug driver. Furious doesn't cover my emotions right now.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

Can't be in a bad mood today. Saw Cygnets.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@NipseyHoussle Car Dealerships and Estate Agents absolutely do work on Saturdays in many parts of Europe.

Maybe Lupita is a really good choice for Helen of Troy. All I’ve seen is men fighting about her...

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@FootballCliches extra points for the bigger U at the end for balance

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@ciarannugent What I love though is that fellas like Dan think they arrived at their world view through rigorous analysis from first principles... and it just happens to align with western conservative economic orthodoxy.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@EoghanOCPBP Well today isn't gonna be the day with that attitude!

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@MikeMcKillen Odd, they normally daisy chain them (bike locked to bike locked to hoop). If you are dropping one off as a user it looks for a photo as proof it has been locked.

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

@FootballCliches Good to see someone get off the fence regarding Pascal Gross tho (has played as a defensive-midfielder, right-back, attacking-midfielder, winger, or forward in his career)

[Derek Doyle @dgdoyle84]

First one of the Shels womens games I was ever at with my (then) 9 year old... some introduction!

[LOI Women @LoiWomen]

Incredible scenes on the way to the 2021 title 🤯
