We also export to places where it does make sense to produce. I was talking to a truck driver one day who often took a trailer full of Irish beef to Italy, and then filled it with Italian beef and drove back to Ireland. That's marketing I suppose. All that fuel wasted.

I was only thinking of this song- we care a lot- during the last few days. Believe it or not I couldn't remember who sang it, and I didn't Google it. Now I know, thanks ๐Ÿ˜†

#arsbay delighted for Madueke. He has been brilliant every time I've seen him play for Arsenal. Merino was excellent too.

What a team! What a squad!

That should never be a red card - and I'm not even an Everton fan!

Same here. Also, the debate about spelling shows a bit how people really are about the language. My kid's school is big on the "is fearr gaeilge briste" idea but in my experience, if you attempt to speak Irish and do it poorly, there'll be a queue of people to scoff and tell you how wrong you are.

Israel is not in Europe and is not like a European country in any way. Why not kick them out? #speirgorm

Major changes to Eurovision voting as organisers aim to head off vote on Israel's inclusion Earlier this year, a report found that an Israeli government agency paid for adverts targeting the Eurovision public vote.

The voting rules for the Eurovision will be โ€œmajorly overhauledโ€ after controversy regarding the public vote for Israel at this yearโ€™s Song Contest.

Also worried that the Revenue commissioner doesn't really act like an instrument of the state when it comes to policy- see taxes on EVs for example

My concern is that people are waiting for governments to tell them what to do. And governments are waiting on other governments. No one is prepared to lead.

Worse than FF during the financial crisis? I honestly think this government are awful, uncaring and incapable, but that's a high bar.

Ronaldo is such a pro. So driven. He even wants to be the best at walking off after getting a red card ๐Ÿคก #speirgorm #irlpor

iirc he actually slapped O'Shea in a game at Lansdowne before but only got a yellow. I'd love to know what Dara does be saying to him ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It's funny that the FFers are raging about the Presidential candidate, rather than any issue that affects people outside the party. This party bankrupted the country and here they are, fucking up housing for generations to come, and the only thing that they'll "rebel" against is Jim Gavin.

Unfortunately it seems to be part of th Irish condition to do whatever the hell you feel like, all the time, and if ever challenged about the ethical or sustainable nature of your choices say "I'm just one person, what can I do?"
