@AlisonGilliland There was a suggestion a couple of years ago that News leased a floor in the CBI on the quays. Nothing came of it.

A great lecturer way back in my undergraduate days. Enjoyed the odd pint with him too later. R.I.P.

[Michael Gallagher @MichaelgTCD]

Very sorry to hear of death of Prof Tom Garvin of UCD, one of the pioneers of Irish political science. Source of original ideas, supportive of younger scholars, brilliantly fused history and political science, a sad loss.

Excellent points from
@Toibin1 on @rtenews there

[ddp @theddp]

Wonderful! Got an unexpected present from an old friend today. So looking forward to dipping into it.

@fmcomment @MaryKenny4 Much of the rot stems from the court actions that have stymied the Carlton/Moore St.end . They have frozen 25 per cent of the street. Can't blame the protestors of course.

Early start. Worth it.

I sometimes write highly audacious verses in Greek

This is seismic.

The biggest beast in Scottish politics by a mile. R.I.P.

@dublinbypub Definitely a bit harsh...

[David Banks @DBanksy]

In newsrooms you cannot overvalue old heads on the desk who’ve experienced some terrible errors themselves, and who will look at a piece of copy like this and say: “Wtf were you thinking? That will not be seeing the light of day, not today, not ever”

[ddp @theddp]

Not sure what's to be gained by picking fights at this stage; Donnelly accepted it cd have been a mistake. Bad faith accusations won't get us anywhere.

[@sinead_ryan @sinead_ryan]

In fairness there was no reason they thought they wouldn't get away with it.

[ddp @theddp]

@fmcomment That is incredible

[ddp @theddp]

FF are right

[Paul Cunningham @RTENewsPaulC]

New - I hear there’s concern in Fianna Fáil ranks re the Fine Gael approach in seeking a Dáil debate on Sinn Fein & child protection. Sources suggest a serious issue could end up becoming a political circus. They’d prefer a SF statement, as per standing orders @rtenews

[ddp @theddp]

Isn't it great? One of the best around.

[ddp @theddp]

Agree..

[Eoin O'Malley @AnMailleach]

If Jack Chambers is going to be Fianna Fáil’s saviour, he’ll need to become more assertive.
