Replying to @Aramark
@Aramark Items in your shop in Crumlin Children’s Hospital Dublin marked up by more than 150% compared to the local Centra. Profiteering by extorting from vulnerable parents concerned about their sick and dying kids. Jesus, how do you sleep at night?

Astonishingly, no response from @Aramark. We have a saying in Ireland, ‘bíonn ciúin ciontach’ which means ‘guilty are the silent’

Do not use @eSpares if you live in Ireland. Worst customer experience I’ve ever had. Despite .ie website, orders come from UK waiting weeks and additional customs charges. Then, if they send you the wrong part, their returns people don’t reply. Cynical, nasty way of making money

@eSpares PS I’ve shared my negative experience with 43,000 UK-based woodworkers on Facebook

@ScrewfixIreland used to be the worst customer experience ever until I used your subsidiary espares company. Misrepresented as Irish company so had to wait weeks and pay additional customs duty. Then the wrong part. Now returns people not responding. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Is Goatstown so-called because @BrianODriscoll used to live there? #shouldertoshoulder #teamofus

Talking to colleagues today about #chatGPT and #AI and someone said you can make it write in the style of a pirate. Someone pointed out that’s only if you’re writing in R

McGregor's defence on the whole thing really boils down to 'a comedian made fun of me' doesn't it? That is some snowflake shit right there.

Looked up origins of ‘throwing a paddy’ and found text below on @LBC’s webpage. Sorry, hang on, British oppression in Ireland started and finished with William of Orange in the 17th century?? No famine? No bloody Sunday(s)? No black and tans? Learn your own country’s history.

Thank you @dunmoreadventur for an amazing afternoon’s kayaking in the capable hands of Milo. Staff couldn’t have made myself and my sons more welcome. Strongly recommended if you find yourself out Dunmore East direction.

@TescoIrl Are these single-use plastic cloths you’re handing out to every customer to clean their trollies, then discard? How many of these are you sending to landfill every day?

Really impressed with how seriously @TescoIrl Customer Care have taken this and how quickly they’ve taken steps to resolve it. Thanks folks!

@TescoIrl Great that these single use plastics were removed. Thank you. Very disappointed to see they’re back, however. Please revert to paper. Every little helps

Ranking schools based on how many students went on to third level is a warped view of education. The best schools in Ireland are those which unlock & nurture the potential of their students. A carpenter in Cabra is no less than a barrister in Blackrock. Stop stigmatising trades

Leinster fan, here delighted for @connachtrugby. A great and deserved result. If the run had to end, I’m glad it was you guys that ended it #LEIvCON

Today I found myself scraping our leftover quinoa into the compost bin I seem to have turned into the punchline of a Frankie Boyle skit about Guardian readers
