@SyncNI How does this cost £42 million?… it’s honestly not that complicated.

Brilliant opportunity coming up in Moville

Two brilliant people, Louise and Paul, are bringing something really special to life in a beautiful building , and they’re backing it properly. It’s going to be a gorgeous restaurant, and I’ll be heading up next week to lend a hand

They’ve been very good to me, and I’m genuinely looking forward to helping them get this one off the ground.

Interesting insight

[Ryan Vaughn @RyanHVaughn]

Most founders assume more 1:1s equals more alignment.

In reality, they're destroying teams from the inside.

I've watched this pattern kill leadership teams.

Here's why (and what to do instead):

@claude1976 Culture Conor… culture

@MichaelsCoDub God actually help her… terrifying! Except for the pints.

[Paul McElvaney @mcelvaney]

@MichaelsCoDub Happy Christmas all the same. Only thing for it is another drink I’d say.

[Paul McElvaney @mcelvaney]

@MichaelsCoDub Jesus Gaz that’s desperate. And here’s me having a lovely Christmas before I saw that.

This is an unbelievably bad decision. Tech entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland have watched enviously the progress made by NDRC. Ridiculous to even contemplate closing it down.

[Luke @Luke_Mackey]

The closure of NDRC in 2025 threatens Ireland's startup future. As founders, we've drafted an open letter opposing this decision.

At an awards dinner with a load of builders. Starter was goats cheese… literally never seen anything go down as badly. I had 3 portions.

[Paul McElvaney @mcelvaney]

Lots of the coverage is about the name and the laughs. But it’s a real business run by impressive people dealing with real world problems. Fair play @MuffLiquorCo. Great success story.

[Paul McElvaney @mcelvaney]

@thomascarroll76 It’s a good double act to be fair! Hope you’re well Tommy.

And…. Weekend…

I fight with my kids every day of the winter to wear a coat. They always ignore me. Today… coats * 3. #iblametheirmother

Nice touch from ⁦@UlsterUni⁩. We’re learning how competitive it is for universities and confusing it is for teenage decision makers in our house. Every little helps!
