I just saw a train for Hazelhatch exiting the Phoenix Park tunnel and heading into the gullet on the Cork main line. The tunnel must be open once again.

American papers, please copy. Especially Irish American papers. @irishecho.com.web.brid.gy @irishvoice.bsky.social No American of Irish ancestry should continue to support Trump, MAGA or the US Republican Party.

This is a full ten percentage points gone from FF/FG since the Nov 2024 election and all of it gone to SF and SocDems. That is the centre shifting left. It is also one of the worst ever poll results for FF. With so many marginal seats, they would lose heavily in an election.

Much appreciated that you are now posting poll results on BlueSky. Your audience has been moving here in droves.

This is highly effective. It will not just damage Starmer, but it will damage Reform in England especially.

This is shocking! We all remember Steve Scherer on @news.rte.ie giving reports. Why is a man of this calibre out of work? This does not reflect well on Reuters, or Canada, as it highlights the same lack of a social safety net as in the USA.

@irishrail.bsky.social Any idea what is the long hold up getting into Connolly from the Northern line?

Bus privatisation has been a disaster for us, but this government is in denial.

I got contacted every week by people who have missed or are late to school, work, interviews, etc. as a result.

We should have free, frequent, and reliable public transport - instead, we're getting more GoAhead...

Gavin Newsom is totally right.

Europe, with a few notable exceptions, have been shockingly weak in the face of Donald Trump.

We cannot keep pandering to Trump’s bully boy tactics.

He’s creating global chaos and we have to finally say enough is enough.

We need strong leadership.

Gardaí ‘covered up’ presence of British army car near sectarian murder crime scene Seamus Ludlow was shot dead by loyalists in Co Louth almost 50 years ago

www.irishnews.com/news/norther... @news.rte.ie @irishtimes.com @irishexaminer.bsky.social @nuachttg4.bsky.social You need to report this as prominently as you do other disappeared stories. Shocked that DPP refused to charge on Dec 23rd to bury it in Christmas news cycle.

EU ambassadors summoned for emergency talks after Trump threatens to impose tariffs over Greenland Tariffs would risk ‘dangerous downward spiral’ in transatlantic relations

www.irishtimes.com/world/americ... @irishtimes.com Why in the hell is there a photo of Starmer and a UK flag in this? They aren’t in the EU. Is it just another opportunity for you to fly your flag of preference? And you ask me for a subscription…?

YouTube video by TheBudgie29 Features Go Now 1980

@chrissiehynde.com Can you solve a question that has run in Dublin since 1980. This record, Go Now, by The Features, was heavily played on Dublin pirate radio stations that summer. DJs had to keep repeating that it was not you. m.youtube.com/watch?v=FMnk... Did you ever do a cover? You should do.

At this stage, any Irish citizen, group or party which is supporting or cheerleading for Trump and his régime, or trying to replicate it here, is acting in a way that hostile to Ireland and should not be voted for.

Mickey Brady tributes paid as former Sinn Féin MP remembered as ‘a giant of the community’ Brady served as MP for Newry and Armagh for almost a decade and was also a former member of the Northern Ireland Assembly

www.irishnews.com/news/norther... @news.rte.ie @irishtimes.com @irishexaminer.bsky.social @thejournal.ie Some news you have missed.

No Mullahs and No Shah. Bring back the rightful successors of democratically elected Mossadegh.

And must GoAhead not also innovate? And maybe run their buses when they are supposed to run? Why the negative focus on the efficient state operator? We don’t need GoAhead.

Weber and the EPP are finished in most right thinking citizens eyes after throwing their lot in with the far right.

I am astounded that neither @news.rte.ie nor @irishtimes.com have yet picked up on or reported the death yesterday of Mickey Brady, a legendary MP and MLA who represented a constituency just 90 km outside Dublin. Or is there a policy to ignore such news? It’s all over social media.

There’s an easy solution to that. More remote working. Work from home. It improves productivity as well as reducing operating costs.

Ar buile, ní ar “buille”

@news.rte.ie This is national news, not regional news where you have relegated it on your website. You have your man that drew Dilbert on as national news. Any editorial cop on out there at all like?

@irishrail.bsky.social Where updates should be. Not on Twitter.

@irishrail.bsky.social I was informed by Iarnród Éireann this morning, on another platform which most users in Ireland have left (source: The Journal poll January 12 2026) that this is not an official account. I have asked Iarnród Éireann to please post updates here, not on Twitter.

As a distant cousin of Sr Maura Clarke, I hope that the USA will be diligent in finally acting to bring her murderers to justice and perhaps they should deploy their new ICE storm troopers to arrest the immigrant far right generals who were behind this.

Delighted. We can only have one president, not the whole shop. Makes sense to get behind a strong candidate with multi party and independent backing. I am an independent but pro reunification.

Only a week ago this afternoon I was looking at that very device in the Smithsonian Institution. May this wonderful engineer rest in peace.
