@Luas @sjordan497 Thanks Sabrina, but does that mean LUAS from hueston to Tallaght is running again?

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@Luas @sjordan497 Does this imply that the earlier incident has been cleared and the red line is running again?

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@Luas Many thanks Sabrina. Much appreciated.

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@Luas Hueston station where the LUAS is terminating

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@Luas Any idea how can get to red cow so?

[Lancer @lancer_325]

[Lancer @lancer_325]

Are they panicking yet in Fianna Fáil hq do you think ? #TonightVMTV

[Lancer @lancer_325]

Would someone from the Fianna Fáil team of minders please run in at the next commercial and tie Jim’s right arm down please. Very distracting all evening #TonightVMTV

[Lancer @lancer_325]

The #TonightVMTV debate raises questions about Michael martins wisdom in choosing Jim Gavin. He is not a good media performer at all.

@SPRA24 @17Gossips75426 @historyinmemes I must check that for you. You may be right, i always doubted the popular version that Stalin had a meltdown. Another version is that Stalin fabricated a meltdown to force them to come to fetch him, implicating them and thereby wiping the collective slate

@17Gossips75426 @historyinmemes Ive posted to the tweet from @historyinmemes about the photo. I believe it was taken on 22 june 1941 in the kremlin. The photo corresponds with robert service quoting from Zhukov’s memoirs which stated that stalin sat clutching an empty pipe for comfort. Look at stalins left hand

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@historyinmemes The photo also corresponds with robert service quoting from Zhukov’s memoirs which stated that stalin sat clutching an an empty pipe for comfort.

@SPRA24 @17Gossips75426 @historyinmemes Sean McMeekin has shown in his recent book “stalins wars” that kremlin log books released after the fall of the soviet union show stalin was in the kremlin all day june 22 with first visitors at 5.45am (molotov, beria, zhukov, Timosjenko and Mekis)

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@historyinmemes he met with Molotov Beria Voroshilov and Meklis (Robert Service, Stalin) utterly fascinating. You can almost see stalin finally realising whats just happened.

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@historyinmemes Zhukov called shortly after 3.30 am when reports started coming in of the german invasion and Vlaski (chief of boduguard) answered the phone. He woke a sleepy stalin who dismissed the news and ordered no counter measures be taken but agreed to return to the kremlin by limo where

[Lancer @lancer_325]

@historyinmemes Utterly fascinating picture, a moment in history captured. I doubted it at first, but i went checking Stalin’s movements that night. Ive always wondered about this moment in history. Stalin was originally in his Blizhnyaya dacha on the night of 21/22 june 1941.
