Notice how ⁦@EOBroin⁩ doesn’t mention ‘environment’ or ‘climate change’ 🤔

For ⁦@sinnfeinireland⁩ these are topics to avoid at all costs as they aren’t perceived as vote-getters 🗳 The minute they are they’ll be going all out on it.

I cannot POSSIBLY be any clearer (as someone who worked in IT managing some of this country's biggest databases)

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE PROVIDE PICTURES OF THEIR PASSPORTS OR DRIVING LICENCES

ESPECIALLY NOT

to databases outside the GDPR

An important thread.

Not only is out of control litigation costing us our entertainment spaces. It could end up costing us our health services.

The lack of proper media reporting into this is almost as big a crime though. Everyone just sung from the same hymn sheet.

I want to live my life with the attitude of Google Maps when you ignore its incorrect suggestion and its U-turn requests and eventually it agrees with you but never acknowledges your way was better. What's past is past. Regrets are futile. In 200m turn left.

@FstopIreland Out for a run?

@IWCare No water on Dunluce Rd, Clontarf either

A chance encounter when @AodhanORiordain was canvassing has lead to me being @labour LAR (Local Area Rep) for Clontarf and meeting so many interesting people @women4election #CountHerIn

“At first,I don’t notice any difference,then there’s a moment where it nudges me along.I thought it was interfering…But the feeling doesn’t last long. Within seconds I was happy to take the help from it.” Thank you @colmoregan for trying the #BikeLibrary! https://t.co/KP11dPtByH

Every story on #screening should state:
🔹ALL screening comes with downsides for a population-the aim is an overall net benefit (false negatives &false positives inherent in the process)
🔹False negatives are NOT negligence
🔹The hazards of overdiagnosis

@FoodDrinkDest @BackpackingTony Wineries - (1) Oldenburg just outside Stellenbosch. (2) Anronij Rupert between Stellenbosch & Franschoek because the building is lovely & breath of tasting
Lunch (1) Glenelly The Vine Bistro - French Bistro (2) Tokara amazing views.
Safaris near CT are not the real deal.

....to clarify, this is not "benefit of hindsight" thing; scientists & doctors pled with politicians & media to convey things more accurately even then. Here's me in IT in May 2018 saying precisely that. A resounding failure to assure & inform the public

..a half decade on, litany of misconceptions endure like -

❌️ Diagnosis was withheld
❌️ People died over it
❌️ American labs were inept
❌️ It was a cover-up
❌️ Programme was defective

None true, but couldn't fault anyone for believing given the poor coverage
