Behind the wheel of the new Hyundai Inster this weekend. First impressions? Incredible value! With a range of 320km+ and prices starting at just €18,995, this could be a game-changer. 2025 is shaping up to be the year of stylish, affordable electric hatchbacks

Shaking, stirring news: The James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have made arrangements with Amazon MGM, giving the studio creative control of the 007 franchise.

I recently bought a jumper that kept picking up static electricity so I took it back to the shop. They gave me another free of charge. For much better dad jokes than that, follow all ten people in this starter pack (who posted my favourite dad jokes last week)...

What a win for Dublin. Didn't see that result at half time. #GAA #KerDub

It looks like a florist. Inside, it's a stark reminder of women killed violently in Ireland. This St Valentine’s Day, Women’s Aid is raising awareness of violence against women & calling for men to stand up as allies*. www.thejournal.ie/violence-aga...

New business alert for Marine Road #Dunlaoghaire called French Revolution eclairs. I felt the need to go for a run just looking at them

The St Brigid festival in Maynooth the other evening was beautiful.

Met Éireann have updated their storm reports table and confirmed a max sustained wind of 143kmh at Mace Head during Storm Éowyn which is Hurricane force and higher than reported. Much higher than old record of 131kmh from 1945 in Limerick. The gust report is still under review.

In honour of St Brigid, lover of beers. Especially tasty ones from Kildare! Rye River.

It's OK to recognise that meteorologically and astronomically speaking, there are 2 different definitions for the beginning of spring. I was educated to recognise the astronomical one, so here starts spring. You can't deny that February is one of the 3 coldest months though.

This guy asked this question in 2016 and was literally never heard from again.

in one of the pierce brosnan bond movies the villain is a newspaper guy who wants the world in chaos bc it means more news for him to sell. I remember watching it and being like "this is impossibly dumb" but you know what, I may have been wrong on that

My #RoyalRumble prediction is that Jade Cargill will return and point at the person who injured her. #WWE

I love the severe penalty for dissent to the ref in the new #GAA rules. No nonsense at all in #DubMay. The ref will get to go home unstressed.

The Dublin line up will be interesting tonight. Brian Howard and Tom Lahiff were my picks for midfield, post Fenton and McCarthy, so good to see them on the starting sheet. #Dublin #GAA #DubMay

I once rang Hotel Doolin to ask them if I could use their loos for a group of just arrived Syrian families who were on a day trip across Clare and when we arrived they had muffins & hot chocolates ready for all the children and teas and coffees and scones for the adults ready in their barn.
