Ah, here! That is beyond unfunny! They were just cups. @avocaireland But the place in Kilmac was full, so they must know what they are doing.
The first obituary I have ever written for The Irish Times goes ‘most read’ on the website. I think it is down to the Flatleys’ fame, rather than anything else. But what a lovely woman, and such a loss to those who loved her. Niamh Flatley, RIP.

In the past week Israel killed those 4 young girls:
Lama Mohammad Habib, Wafaa Akila and sisters Lana and Bana Momen Ahmed.
But saying "Free Palestine" is "hurtful".

A ‘gentle giant’: Man who died in Galway homeless hostel leaves will of almost €1.3m irishtimes.com/ireland/socia…
Just dropped in to @ScrewfixIreland in Bray to get a chain for the saw. They couldn’t measure the chain I brought in. She asked for help from a colleague and he shrugged. So she turned her screen to me asking me if I knew. Wow.
She also couldn’t locate a measuring tape, didn’t know how to measure a chainsaw chain. So I rang @screwfix customer care and the man said staff have no training in the stuff they sell. That’s it. They don’t.

@DublinAirport - you really can't duck responsibility for this. It's your team at Dublin Airport that's not doing its job. The very helpful @jet2tweets Lost Baggage team at Stansted can't get a response from them!

The 3.5-hour, 35km commute: Kildare motorists on their M7 traffic ‘nightmare’ irishtimes.com/ireland/housi…

Good overview by @TheIrishTim on M7/N7 traffic congestion, which is my commute.
Much caused by “incidents” which means ‘human error’ or mechanical failure - it would be good to know if common locations and ‘which lane’ is identified by @GardaTraffic and TII?

This morning at 8.am about to go to security at T2 . A woman in front dropped €50 notes.
I called but she did not turn and @DublinAirport staff man put his hand out. Said he would announce on screens. An hour later, I’d seen nothing. Someone when home poor🧐

A crash on the N11 northbound south of Coynes Cross. Traffic stops. The muppets fill up the hard shoulder. They’re not thinking about ambulances…but @Irishdaytours @Buseireann ???
