Another day, another cancelled 33B from @GoAheadIreland Now to drive 4 lads to their booking for a game of pool in Swords. Since there are no facilities in Donabate because @Fingalcoco thinks 1000’s of homes with no infrastructure is all ok 😫

Why is it so hard to find basic bus timetable info @GoAheadIreland Standing at stop 3711. Bus stop printed info says bus is at 0003 but online says 0013. Is it a street too far to actually have accurate info

What’s the story with politicians locking comments on their posts? Do they not want to engage with the people they represent? Are they afraid of what the replies might be? Do they not realise they can be quote tweeted? All a bit strange.

Full credit to @PassportIRL passport application made by daughter yesterday morning. Estimated delivery 28th. Passport arrived this morning. 24 hour turn around. Amazing service. Well done. If only this level of efficiency could be extended to other parts of public service.

Can I take this back @PassportIRL 😂😂 12th (and final) child passport application for my three kids and first ever issue. We all sat together in the school reception signing the damn form. 2 weeks later we get told someone put a wrong date 😩😩

After a good year with @VirginMediaIE just got cold called to discuss end of contract offers. I don’t give personal info to anyone who rings from unknown number so they wouldn’t give me offers so asked for email and they as that’s against GDPR apparently. What a farce!

Pure fiction from @ryanair in Grenoble airport. Flight in 1 hour 50 mins and sitting here last 20mins unable to drop bags. Farce of an operation here.

Thanks for the instruction email @ryanair but not sure how we were to board from the back when there were no stairs to back door put in place at Grenoble.And now all boarded to be told we are going to be sitting on the plane at least an hour before we move.

Pot calling kettle black about overcharging! When they want to charge my daughter €115 to correct an autocorrect of her name from ‘Emily’ to ‘Me’ on her booking. Apparently 3 letters is free but 3 letters and a swap of 2 costs €115

Disgusted with @Ryanair and @TUIIreland my daughter booked her first solo holiday but her name accidentally autocorrected from ‘Emily’ to ‘Me’ and they won’t change it unless she pays €115 A huge chunk of her holiday budget. Nice way to encourage as a lifetime customer. Not.

Why am I not surprised. I seriously starting to think @IKEAIE hate me. It’s just one thing after another these past weeks. My love for IKEA can only take so much.

I am an @IKEAIESupport @IKEAIE super fan but what is going on with the stock checkers? Was told an item was discontinued a few weeks ago yet it was sitting on shelf. Today, having checked stock of an item I wanted travelled to the store but shelf empty 🤷‍♀️

Will be pretty pissed off with @ManUtd if this is the case for my son’s first time seeing Man United play in person. Bit of respect for Irish fans please 🙏

Always nice to see my Mum’s dress design and handiwork this time of year #eurovision
In the build up to @Eurovision, @BBCRadio4 hosted a historical discussion of the event today. It allows me to recall my fondest Eurovision fact: Ireland's first Eurovision win came from Dana singing "All Kinds of Everything" in a Celtic-style dress designed & handmade by my Mum!
