Opinion polls have only ever been an indicator, but they have been consistently, and sometimes glaringly, wrong over the past decade here and abroad. Are they a pointless exercise? Apart from filling column inches on Sunday newspapers #Referendum2024

Should an amateur organisation continually eat into consumer surpluses? Those with the least bear the brunt

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at

Drink it in… hurling

The pre-election bonanza budget playbook deployed. The tax we’re given back will be eaten up by the inflation this package will cause. The ‘mansion tax’ is misdirection. This is a budget for the wealthiest in society… again

Thought Ireland were good in the second half and lots of learnings over the two games for Hallgrimmson. Like the look of Taylor in midfield, good instincts and touch. We were better with Parrott running behind than Ferguson coming short #COYBIG

Fine Gael have pinned much of their campaign strategy on their leader and Simon Harris is faltering badly. Poor performance in leader’s debate and several missteps on the campaign trail. Fianna Fáil may be the main beneficiaries this time next week

I see the The Irish Times have amended their headline, Simon Harris was contrite but did not apologise. Fine Gael scrambling to put the toothpaste back into the tube today. That really unpleasant exchange will have been seen by most of the electorate by now

Michael Martin showing total contempt for the Irish citizens of the North. The troubles did not have two sides he says. It was “a war imposed by the IRA on its own people.” A hurtful, breathtaking lie that will be celebrated by loyalist paramilitaries, unionists & the British

Looks like this visit from Micheál Martin was too little too late for Stephen Donnelly. Tallies suggest his seat in Wicklow is in serious jeopardy

Sam Prendergast with a diving block that Anthony Rainbow would have been proud of #SCOvIRE #SixNations Suncroft GFC

Anyone not crying? 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪#RyderCup2025

How crucial Hovland’s half-point turned out to be… #rydercup

Troy Parrott will rightfully take most of the plaudits, but Liam Scales’ prowess in the opposition box was so important to both wins. He has to start from now on. Azaz makes errors but he has vision and Parrott/Idah know it #COYBIG

Parrott (2025), O’Shea (2014), Keane (2002), McGeady (2014)… injury time goals hit different

Wow, one of the best races I’ve ever seen! Let’s hope Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File lock horns again

Outrageous training performance from Keatley Racing congrats

This is such mean-spirited nonsense, hopefully someone has the sense to say ‘cop on to yourselves’

Like a bull getting out onto the grass after being in the shed all winter
