@rodneyedwards Congratulations, Rodney, to you and the whole IR team. The paper is a publication for the whole community, including those of us living outside the county. Its online profile has really raised the game for regional publications. Brilliant work!

@keithodonnell63 @JamesInvictus Do remember, Keith, in the interests of fairness, other clubs were and are available. Thankfully!

@BBCGarethG They are so far ahead of us. You’re in Spucefield, they’re somewhere near the toll. We chased them towards the border, but only just. At least Foden is a local lad made good. V v good indeed!

@GusLogie1971 There’s an important item missing from this picture. It’s made of glass and contains pure genius.

@PintsBeauty Proper. What pubs and Irish craic is all about.

Given upcoming events I was intrigued to come across this excerpt from the Irish Times, April 19, 1939.

[Peter Donaghy @peterdonaghy]

Adjusted for inflation, teachers' salaries have fallen dramatically compared with both private and public sector workers in NI. In real terms, private sector salaries in 2023 have fallen 3.6% since 2019, public sector incomes down 5.8%, but teacher salaries are down by 17.5%.

@bbctheview @liam_mcguckin_ @NAHTnews @MarkCarruthers7 Thanks for your advocacy, Liam & @NAHTNInews. Striking is a very difficult choice, but fair reward & support are basic rights all across the UK & Ireland.

Since 2010: 5 prime ministers & 7 chancellors. For secretaries of state: 9 business, 7 transport, 9 work & pensions, 10 education, 13 for digital & media. Thank you @andrewrawnsley for the numbers. A revolving door of incompetence & the antithesis of strong & stable government.
