@DublinAirport As you know that is impossible on the ground. Its your airport...stand up and do thr communication for your passengers like others do

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@DublinAirport why isnt your duty manager down here sorting out the Air Canads baggage issues and apologising for the shambles. Not enough info and senior involvement

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@DublinAirport get your act together. Nearly an hour waiting for bags to be unloaded is not good enough. And the state of the floors and walls....what must people think if this is their first impression of Ireland?

@muddy_gas_doc @goldstone_tony @nhs_pensions Any effect of early mortality and retirees not taking their full pot?

@AirCanada not covering yourselves in glory are you. YYZ to DUB cancelled last night because someone hit engine with airbridge!! Now rearranged flight this evening is delayed. Compensation...apparently not? You need to do better for your customers & your awesome staff.

1. Do more good than harm - be a net positive in the world
2. Love, and let yourself be loved
3. Forgive others and yourself
4. Learn something new every day

@Jeremy_Hunt If done properly it could have a big effect...in a decade or 2. But to do it properly means investing and joined up thinking across health, social care, justice, education etc and you have no track record of that. In the meantime, acute care is capability is going downhill

@djdebgrant Fantastic news....congrats and looking forward to some great music

@SteveBarclay @BMA_JuniorDocs @Telegraph You absolutely hypocrite. How dare you! Emotional blackmail is the last resort of a morally bankrupt administration. You have a chance to be remembered for doing something right and just for once. Perhaps take it.

@CommonsNIAC @BBCJayneMcC It's been long time since a properly FUNCTIONING Assembly & Executive. We need proper recognition that this country does not just consist of nationalists & loyalists. And in the absence of an Executive we need UK gov to step up and take necessary action to secure services

@BBCPolitics @bbcnickrobinson If you have no virtue yourself....

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@duponline And open minds

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@duponline @NigelDoddsDUP Or convincing more and more of the British public that we are a millstone around Britain's neck and the cost of keeping us is much greater than any benefit. So hyperloyalist that even the King isn't loyal enough for you. #unintendedconsequences

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@briwbri @Peston Not for along time now. Struggling for relevance and meaning in all the wrong ways.

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@triciafearon It's time they git back to work and had the courage to make the long overdue tough decisions that will ensure the viability and quality of our services into the future. Every day wasted is a future stolen.

[Andrew Ferguson @scimedic]

@guardian I suppose 'Stop the boats' sounds better than 'Deny human rights and let them drown' but most people can figure it out. Amazing how openly trampling on the vulnerable can be so openly advocated. If the Conservatives get back in Britain should be very ashamed

@JimAllister Any unionist who can't grasp the only opportunity on the table to keep moving this country forwards is taking another step towards losing any semblance of union and making UI even more likely. Progress will happen one way or another.

@BBCJayneMcC @ArleneFosterUK @J_Donaldson_MP Delay, obfuscate, delay, complain, delay, accuse, delay, refuse, delay, suppress this country's potential
