@jpwarchaeology A worthy mention would be Sean’s Bar in Athlone, Ireland. Which is the oldest in Ireland and the British Isles(Also has a certificate from Guinness World Records hanging in the bar) https://t.co/93yYiD90AQ
A few high level thoughts about how Europe can deal without Russian gas for the next 2-3 years:
Russian natural gas supply to Europe was responsible for 30% of European demand in 2021 (103bcma vs 342).
Half of that is replaced by LNG imports (from 51 to 101bcma 2021-2023) 1/6
@davidmcw Yes, but first we need to make renewable power traceable in time series from point of supply to point of demand. You should take a look at some of the projects in @ESBGroup innovation hub in @dogpatchlabs we are working on exactly this solution!
@NTBreakfast introducing a land value tax LVT would stop speculation and hoarding of property and development land by funds and developers. Would also stop sprawling development
@IrishRail in light of the @irishtimes story can you let commuters know if there are any plans to to restrict public transport in and out of Dublin? When will announcements be made?
@jkbhoy@sinnfeinireland Well sure there you go you just said it. Sorcha Clarke is a Mullingar candidate who will be looking after Mullingar interests. #Athlone people could learn a lot from what happened in Longford just now and fair play to them. #LDWH
#LDWH Well done to Longford for getting their act together and voting for their local candidates. #Athlone on the other hand needs to cop on. The biggest and wealthiest population center in the constituency now left without representation.3 Mullingar TD is not good.
@j27kerr Nothing to do with any particular political party. I admire the way the people of Longford managed their vote and made it happen. But as I said 3 Mullingar TDs in the constituency will not bode well for what is the commercial capital of the region.
@IrishRail 06:25 Gal -Dub just stopped in Kildare to let 2 people on...... 2! now on platform for more than the 5mins allocated train will now be late into Heuston, Good job! 😩
@IrishRail 06:25 Gal - Dub continues to arrive in late to Heuston since the Kildare stop was added. I counded 2 passengers getting on in Kildare this morning.
@IrishRail Guys why did you add that stop in Kildare to the 06:25 Gal- Dub? It was the best morning train in from Athlone/Tullamore every day. Now just as crap as the rest. Leave 5 mins earlier and gets in 5 mins later (reality) about 3 people got on in Kildare this morning
@KirstieMAllsopp For what its worth I agree with everything you said. I think most people hold thoughts like this. Very brave of you to post it on twitter and expose yourself to trolls and haters. All the best.
