Having spent the Sundays of my youth as a fanatical follower of @williamsf1, it was a special treat to meet @HillF1

I'm sure he gets the same questions every day, but he and his wife Georgie couldn't have been more generous with their time and indulgence of my enthusiasm 😊

Last night at 03.25 @CluidHousing residents across Ireland were able to receive a free tank of hot water from surplus renewable wind energy

Why can’t people just be honest??

I'm 38.

When I was young I worshipped politics, went woke (broke) & believed in the myth of equality.

Then I discovered Thomas Sowell, and he changed my life forever.

@VIOTASEnergy was delighted to host a site visit this week to @Pfizer_Ireland’s Grange Castle Biotechnology Campus for a delegation of energy specialists from the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU), Ireland’s energy regulator.

Ireland's police and justice systems are really focusing efforts on tackling the major issues that will tear through the fabric of our society!

I think the world badly needs a bit more of a People Before Politics/Power/Borders perspective about now.

@paddymacc1 @KWSolicitors @FionaWalsh14 @PantiBliss @gazmogazmo23 @declanvarley @HoranLiam @hilarysolicitor @Ballinrobe33 Not all of them are coming here - just a small proportion relative to the numbers other EU countries have taken in. Have you heard any of the immigrants say that they expect to be handed anything? I haven't. But if they aren't allowed to work then some provision has to be made.

[Paddy Finn @paddyfinn]

@TheFuds @seaniecain The point is the opposite - bogs are fantastic in many ways, so we need to preserve them . . . as bogs.

[Paddy Finn @paddyfinn]

@TheFuds @seaniecain Harm? You know, global warming destroying homes and livelihood, and devastation to our biodiversity etc. - little things like that. Teagasc have a number of online publications on this and there are articles like the one below in Nature and other journals https://t.co/i8oY2LzLLs

[Paddy Finn @paddyfinn]

@TheFuds @seaniecain The main problem isn't the burning of the turf/peat. When you drain the bogs for harvesting or turf cutting, it causes the bogs to release thousands of years of embodied gases into the atmosphere - which are far more harmful than just the burning itself. Bogs need to be kept wet

@RonEng1ish This is disgraceful & reprehensible behaviour by anyone and can't be justified, but the reality is that being Muslim or an immigrant doesn't make someone a scumbag. Being a scumbag makes someone a scumbag. We have plenty of our own that are white and Irish. What's the difference?

@Niall_Boylan If a party said they would hire high calibre professionals from the corresponding sectors to serve as Ministers, rather than appointing them from the panel of TDs with no relevant experience - they'd have my vote!

[Paul kenny @Paulkenny79]

This is a game changer, took a while to get all the building blocks in place. The first of its kind in Europe. Ireland can lead on energy, and the retroft architecture is fast becoming the envy of other countries. This is a 30 year journey, but the path now clear.

@markfoleyce I'm truly sorry to hear this terribly sad news. My deepest thoughts are with you and your family at this very challenging time.

[Paddy Finn @paddyfinn]

@markfoleyce I fully agree. Even if the conclusion is not to pursue it, the decision should be based on a continually revised merit order of options, considered dispassionately and logically on a holistic basis.
