It's now canon that @GuinnessIreland exists in the @StarTrek universe following #StrangeNewWorlds latest episode. I just want to know if a person can get their hands on these pint glasses!?!
In the context of RPZ announcements trying to incentivise apartment building, it's worth recalling one of the main issues we have is that we, by regulation, restrict all construction to a default minimum of a luxury/premium standard. We're stopping ourselves building cheaper!

Have one Davin Stand (lower) for tomorrow's match. Looking to get 2 together anywhere (will take Hill tickets). DMs open. #AllIrelandFinal #kerry #donegal #GAA #ticketfairyireland

Happy #BastilleDay to all my French friends. Fitting an Irish man is in the yellow jersey for it, when the first person to breach the Bastille back in 1789 was an Ennis man.

So the #LeavingCert starts tomorrow.... and this is the 5 day forecast. Something is very very wrong. I blame grade inflation! It's the only answer. Government need to call an emergency meeting. #panic
