I am not a Communist. I may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist, but I AM NOT a porn star. Urban planner, St. Patrick's Athletic and things that don't wreck the planet. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

Felt worse earlier this morning in Cork than it did on Friday. The addition of heavy rain probably played a part

Robbie Keane just doesn't make it easy for himself. Surely he can find himself a non-fascist country to manage in?

Not enjoying this feeling of wanting Shamrock Rovers to do well....it feels wrong.

In no world can a party for whom their raison d'etre is almost entirely the protection of the planet, and therefore its citizens, be classed as right wing. Sorry.

If you don't think dramatically increased spending on public transport, active travel, sustainable energy, proposals for expansion of universal childcare, increases on health provisions and education is "left" then I'm very confused as to what you think left is.

Greens are clearly a left wing party, in the same sphere as the other 2 I mentioned.

The lack of a strong, single left party is such a pity in Ireland. Greens, SDs and Lab have around 15% combined. As a single party, with a single voice, I feel they could climb towards 20+ easily with a full campaign.

Simon Harris looked fairly shook entering RTE for the debate earlier. #RTELeadersDebate

Still not a single one, and only 2 nights left. Pathetically disappointed.

Far from the worst, imo. I'd actually have it as a fairly decent one relative to a lot of them.

I feel like this graph should be burnt into our consciousness - the harsh reality of our fragile fiscal health - as we head into this election.

Where is the political vision for a less-FDI dependent economy?

You could have said that at any stage over the last 23 years I feel.

It'd be massive. Palmer was excellent for when fit. One of the best in the league I'd say.

Unfortunate for him, local club and all that. Wonder where he goes from here.

We've been incredibly lucky tbh. Having 40% possession at home against Finland is bleak

Jaysus we're blessed to be leading at half time. Fins dominating us I thought

N.B. This probably, definitely isn't the first St Pats post on Bluesky.

The first is always going to be tricky....so here's what could be the first St Patrick's Athletic post on Bluesky. Up the Saints!
