You may find the below graph enlightening. Wearing helmets DOES NOT make cycling safer - it just makes it a minority pursuit. Safe segregated cycle lanes are the way to make cycling safer - not specialised armour & clothing. They just deter people using cycling for everyday trips

"The bulk of public money is spent in greater Belfast area, leading to serious variations in economical and social outcomes. Surely the purpose of government is to improve the wellbeing of the population as a whole, not just a part" belfasttelegraph.co.uk/opinion/news-a…
So the pub owned by Conor McGregor in Dublin fell victim to a fire recently, apparently startd deliberately. In the spirit of its owner, what daft & wild conspiracy theories can we come up with for it? 😄 Was it an insurance job? Angry staff? A misguided attempt to gain sympathy?

The petition calling for Cornwall to be recognised as the UK’s fifth nation has almost reached 10,000 signatures. Have you signed it yet? The Cornish have a right to the dignity of recognition and a say over our own affairs through devolution. Sign the petition! Link below ⬇️
Why are both teams in their away shirts in today's #AllIrelandFinal ?

That's some job by the ground staff on the Croke Park pitch 😲👍 #AllIrelandFinal

With 10's of thousands of people frm #Donegal descending on Dublin today for #AllIrelandFootballFinal, it's important to acknowledge the complete absence of suitable public transport to get them there. It's time that Donegal got its railway back again 🟢🟡👍 #LetterkennyDerryRail




Looking forward to the #AllIrelandFinal this afternoon 👍 C'mon #Donegal ! 🟢🟡🏆🤞🏻
The 2nd of my 2 game South Down football jaunt today & it was @BangorFC again as the visitors- this time at 3rd tier @RathfrilandFC. Home team deservd 4-0 winners (no idea how strong the Bangor team was). I expected a bit more frm Iveagh Park tho. Moneyslane's pitch is much bettr




First of 2 back-to-back football games in South Down for me today - both bizarrely involving @BangorFC as the visiting team. First up was a trip to @Moneyslane_FC. Their home (Jubilee Park) is a great facility for a small village - with a pitch like a carpet & a great wee stand👍




My first trip to the Brandywell 37 years ago. On that A5 again tonight, but slightly more optimistic than in recent years, just slightly 😯
Was in #Gallway on wknd for 1st time in about 20yrs. And my god - it's absolutely vibrant. I appreciate @GalwayIntArts festival was on, but the city appears to buzzing all the time. Tonnes of tourists, loads of shops. The contrast with #Derry, especially at night, is depressing😔




I was planning to tweet a post asking how Castlebar (population 13,000) can have a street hire bike scheme, yet Derry (population 105,000) doesn't. So I'm pleased to see reports today that @DCSDCouncil is writing to @DeptInfra requesting similar here👍

Sign the petition! If it gets to 100,000 it’ll be debated in Parliament. As a national minority, the Cornish have the same right to recognition as the Welsh and the Scottish. Retweet to reach more people ⬇️ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7113…
Cornwall Council calls on #Kernow to be recognised as a unique nation within the UK 👍 Which would finally end centuries of it having its identity incorrectly subsumed under an English one. Council calls on government to make #Cornwall 'fifth UK nation' share.google/0iohsZfKd2EEuH…
The new season of South Park is out — and it’s already taking shots at Trump In the latest episode of Season 27, the creators go all in on Donald Trump, mocking his ties to the Epstein case and even showing him… in bed with Satan 🫣 It’s crude, wild, and ruthless — classic…
This is the hard reality America's right wing evangelicals must listen to & accept. Israel's West Bank settlers do not discriminate in their hatred of Palestinians. They are erasing Christianity frm Palestine, just as they are muslims & secularists alike. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS

A huge night awaits at the Brandywell on Friday night live on LOITV.
