The LOITV app is now available on Apple devices. Works well for me so far. 12 games or so there to play around with to see if it’ll work for you. A new account is needed if you’ve previously signed up apps.apple.com/ie/app/loitv...

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

A blanket of snow covers the Rock of Cashel. South Tipperary has become a winter wonderland this morning! The Rock of Cashel, or Carraig Phádraig, is undoubtedly one of Ireland’s most iconic monuments with well more than 1500 years of stories. #sneachta

We went to a kid-friendly murder mystery tonight and someone brought their baby. 13yo was keeping notes on who he thought the murderer was, and at the bottom of the page it just said BABY, all caps, huge letters, circled and underlined.

In a few months when people wonder how Elon Musk developed such an outsize influence over British politics, it’ll be worth noting the contribution of push notifications like this from the national broadcaster.

Please treat game developers with respect. You have no idea of what they are advocating for you on your behalf and by being toxic or negative and forcing them to make changes and playing armchair gamedev you are inevitably pushing your BIGGEST CHAMPIONS out of the room.

Only #speirgorm will understand the horror! I just discovered that the immersion switch in my house has been on for at least a year, if not more. 😱😱😱Explains the high electricity bills for a small house! My mother was right.

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout. Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.

Whatever about quality of Prem Sports debate (1st half good, 2nd half scatty) the funding of ⚽️ being front & centre highlights importance of making noise & picking battles. Mad that it took some people within the game too long to see that. Inferiority complex was as much an enemy as incompetence

Political party membership and trade union density have collapsed in Ireland (just 28% of the labour force are members of a trade union, as opposed to 62% in the early 1980s). It's hardly a surprise voter turnout is falling if the organisations have been hollowed out by careerists.

Canvassing is sometimes difficult, because no one person knows the lived reality of every different group of people, and how policy will impact them. That said: as a renter myself, I'm really impressed with the #SocDems Renter's Charter, and proud to advocate for it. #GE24 #ForTheFuture

Jay: I think social media should be basically common infrastructure that society gets to use and evolve it as society evolves, building a more democratic form of social media to reflect a democratic society.

I can't remember the last time I heard a candidate enthuse about a policy. Not just communicate it well, but express genuine excitement at what could be possible if we just tried something different. Patricia Stephenson would be a phenomenal TD for #CarlowKilkenny. #GE24 #housing #SocDems

Social Democrats promise €1 off-peak fare to ease congestion, free public transport for under-18s, extending the “90-Minute Fare” to 120 minutes across more cities. Investment will shift from roads to public transport, rail, & active travel, promoting decarbonization and reducing car reliance. #GE24
