Disappointing that RTÉ felt compelled to apologise for the "background noise" on the One O'Clock News.

That noise? Chants of 'Free Palestine' while they were doing a live link to Leinster House

Kneecap join O’Connor in hall of fame for calling out injustices How long will it take for the Belfast band to be seen as standing on the right side of history, asks David Kent

It took just over two decades for many to acknowledge that Sinéad O’Connor was on the right side of history when ripping up the picture of the pope.

'My son's memory is wiped clean every two days': Mum speaks out against serial abuser After her children were abused by their stepfather, Georgian Tuohey speaks out on Ireland’s child abuse crisis and justice system failures

This is one of the most appalling cases I've read, and I've read a lot of them. This poor family, utterly destroyed by the actions of one sadistic paedophile. Sensitively covered by Cormac O'Keeffe as always. I hope someone in power is paying attention.

time after time they come in, propose a solution that was rejected years ago because it's stupid, and call themselves geniuses

I, for one, am shocked that Charlotte is immediately going into a title feud #RoyalRumble

Contrivance at its finest!
