For those of you defending Lynn Boylan for not being able to fire off a cúpla ceist as Gaeilige. Ni Mhurchu demonstrates how it is done here, provided you can actually speak the language.
And I'm sure it's just an incredible coincidence that she posted it this evening.

@ClionaQ Also, Kerrygold is such a popular product, the factory address for DE NW 40015 EG is Kerrygoldstraße 1, or Kerrygold Street.

[William Delaney @willydelaney]

@ClionaQ DE is the country code for Germany (Deutschland) not Denmark - DK. The circle and code just denotes the factory location not ingredients origin.

The factory where Kerrygold is made be it Ornua, Mitchelstown or Ornua Germany both use Irish cream.

@Little7Rose Willow and Green in Portarlington has a lovely colourful collection and Joey is a very helpful fella.
Finline furniture could have something in the January sale.

@CorrCormac 1 word, weather.
In the origional plans in the 30s this was looked at but too difficult to predict a dry day and that was with Douglas Hyde being sworn in in June.

Also most people don't care that much about pomp and ceramony when you can look at it on the telly or your phone.

@GOConnor2000 I'd disagree. If we wanted a truly genuine competition we would open it up to OMOV or the weighted system we have for electing a party leader.

@JohnFogartyIrl 2. It was an enjoyable day and felt energetic in the stadium with a very young crowd. U-14 development squad parade at HT were from all counties. It gave every young girl a chance to be at the final and be centre stage.

Good product but poor promotion.

[William Delaney @willydelaney]

@JohnFogartyIrl To be fair to the Camogie association they have 2 big things going in their favour.

1. The quality of the games is good. Not high scoring but tough fought and clear that the players on the pitch put in as much effort as any final in the last 3 weeks made it a great watch.

@gavreilly Can we can surmise that there was at least one political anorak on the Football Review Committee when the decision of the 3v3 rule was created?

That childs spacecraft was actually built on a OPW contract for €1.5 million. #LateLateToyShow

@andreeaaa21 @efitz6 Seems to be covered in the FAQ they released during the week. Doable but not practical.

Fantastic opportunity for TY students to learn more about the Agri-Food industry, meet industry and political leaders and have a practical element to learning Ag Science as a subject.

All while getting your own mini herd of 5 Angus cattle to rear and show off.

@Little7Rose It's a ceramonial dance. All the TD's will gather around the bike shelter on the next full moon and do the apple "tax" dance to draw down the €13bn.

A project that went way over budget, is an open plan design and is mainly constructed of glass....only a mattet of time before we learn it was Dermot Bannon all along.

@DarraghScott Same for people spraying herbicides and pesticides in their garden. No measuring jug just eyeing it, wearing a dust mask not a spray mask and spraying at 3 O'Clock in the day without a thought for evening spraying or leaving it wild to help polinators.

[William Delaney @willydelaney]

@DarraghScott But its the same double standards for most environmental rules.

Look at the amount of people that will trim a hedge in their garden to keep it neat and tidy during the closed period when a farmer would be reported and plastered over twitter for keeping a roadside hedge trimmed.
