@IrishRail In other words, we have yet another dart breakdown at rush hour due to 40 year old trains that are not fit for purpose. A 35 min wait on a crowded platform for a dart that will probably be full when it arrives. Thanks @irishrail

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

Believe in Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Here is a recap of the Ukraine situation, for those choosing to reject propaganda and continue seeking truth:

December 1994, Ukraine agrees to give up its nuclear arsenal in return for security guarantees from the US, UK, France, China and Russia.

February 2014, Russia invades and subsequently annexes Crimea, President Obama does next to nothing. War through weakness.

July 2019, Trump admin withholds $250 million in military aid to Ukraine to apply pressure to investigate alleged corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden.

February 2022, Russia invades a weakened Ukraine, world expects Zelenskyy to flee and Kyiv to fall within days. Ukrainians fight bravely for 3+ years, inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russian army, weaken Putin politically.

U.S. has sent ~$70 billion in outdated military equipment to Ukraine since start of war, providing opportunity for U.S. military to modernize its weaponry. We’ve sent an additional $30+ billion in budget support, $75 billion in ancillary appropriations related to war.

~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.

The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.

America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.

Slava Ukraina.

I’d say there are a fair few people who feel like complete and utter arses now. Sad news to hear. Hope she’ll be ok. #PrincessCatherine

@michadaly @DublinAirport No, but I believe they have had them in place for ages!

[Louise Sullivan @lousul]

The new security scanners at @DublinAirport are such a game changer. No faffing around having to unpack and repack your bags going through anymore and no need to squeeze all your liquids into a tiny plastic bag. If only all airports had them!

This is like a pool match #NZvARG #RWC23

[Louise Sullivan @lousul]

What a lackluster game in comparison to last Saturday’s thriller. #RWC organizers really need to rethink about how the draws are made. #RWC2023 #ARGvNZ

[Louise Sullivan @lousul]

So Ireland beat South Africa, who beat France, who beat New Zealand, who beat Ireland. Really nothing between these teams & such a shame the lopsided draw meant these were quarter finals rather than semi finals. But matches for the ages all the same. #FRAvRSA #IREvNZ #RWC2023

[Louise Sullivan @lousul]

Am definitely not the better for that. What a game! #RWC2023 #IREvRSA

WTF was that?? Please tell me this is not how they are going to do all national anthems for the #RWC2023 #FRAvNZL

@ProfRuthMassey @Dora_Bonini Those were the days!! 🏊🏻‍♀️🏊‍♂️ Although 22 years?? Can we really be that old?? 😱

[Louise Sullivan @lousul]

@ProfRuthMassey Omg… I really shouldn’t laugh, but that’s classic! 😂

[Louise Sullivan @lousul]

@ProfRuthMassey Depends on how many margaritas you’ve had when making that decision! 😅
