He’s already written some great books but THESE particular words by @radiomukhers are so powerful… in a time of so much hate and hostility , here is a call for us all to pause and respect our differences …Challenges yes but violence NO

Thanks to my old ‘mates ‘ @VirginMediaNews for covering this big fire which took place about 250 metres away from where I grew up in Waterford .. Hope the Tycor community recovers quickly from the damage done
Dozens of business owners in Waterford are still waiting to access their premises after a major fire tore through the old Jute Factory in Waterford city over the weekend.

This is a truly exceptional explainer by @EdConwaySky by the always reliable Ed and his colleagues
Top class …. Congrats

📽️ WHY are diesel prices rising so fast?
Well, partly because this is the worst oil supply shock in modern history.
And partly because of an obscure decision taken by politicians decades ago.
