@willgoodbody Wow, that flew! Congrats, thanks for all the great reporting and best of luck for the future.

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@JPPhelan @FineGael That’s some record! Wishing you and the family good health and happiness for the next adventures!

@LarryPDonnelly @kathysheridanIT @HHumphreysFG And the replies here proving both Minister and Journalist correct in their assessments of social media along the way.

@IrlAmbCanada @GGCanada Huge congratulations, John! Every good wish for this exciting new chapter for you and the family🙌 🇮🇪🇨🇦🇮🇪

Now list all the Republicans that previously said Trump was a ‘bigot’ ‘a con artist’ ‘heroin’ - L Graham, M Rubio, JD Vance - who now treat him like a god. Maybe conservative software is better? Honestly, when you tweet this stuff I just really want to find out who funds Iona🤷‍♀️

It's almost like liberals wake up every day with a new software update downloaded to their brains. Biden is as sharp as a tack. No. he's doddery and must resign. Kamala would be a bad candidate. No, she is like something sent down from heaven.

@MaireLogue @KilkennyArts @RadioBrendanRTE And all the good tingles back to you in the Kingdom, Máire! I hope you’re flying it after your own odyssey and the new pupper is settling in well too!

@MuireannNic Takes one to know one🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Xxx

@RoryStewartUK I was inclined to agree, but it’s very different from the recent UK problems w/coronating leaders. Hard to argue with the (exciting) $$ in 24 hrs & coverage is huge for now. Also poor optics to side-step Harris’ incumbency. If it’s good enough for Pelosi etc. Love the podcast🙌🏻

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@Neil_Murray57 @JeanOloan Ah, I misunderstood your point, about the total points! Points, points, points…I guess it’s always been that way, it does convey something about the nature of a game too… goals are standout moments, the scoreline reflects it I guess. Savage game today. Hope you’re well too!

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@gillianmobrien Epic match, and massive congrats to Clare. Even this disappointed Corkonian couldn’t begrudge that win! Enjoy the basking in the glory now!

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@Neil_Murray57 @JeanOloan It would, if Cork hadn’t scored 6 points more than Clare had points at that point. This point you’re proving is that ‘aggregate’ isn’t what’s happening here, it’s just addition. 4 goals (penalty or drop) would also beat 2 (unconverted) tries in rugby. Hope that helps😉

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@dublin_damo Something to look forward to so! Thanks for all the great lists👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@susanbrodigan Thanks, Susan!

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@dublin_damo Not at all! Sure I was delighted😉 Next time you’re in Cork make sure to pop into the Corner House on Coburg Street. If I had to pick just one in each town, Walsh’s in Stoneybatter, O’Riada’s in Kilkenny, the Corner House in Cork.

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@dublin_damo Another excellent shout - also has the best draft Guinness in Kilkenny, closely followed by Cleere’s. I think you may be my pub spirit animal- From a Corkonian, who lived in Dublin, and now in Kilkenny. I even appeared in one of your Dublin shots once🙄

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@iaclown Thanks so much, Raymond!

[Olga Barry @olgabarry]

@longsiobhan That’s SO kind, Siobhán. I hope you’re keeping great, it’s been too long. Keep on keeping on! X
