I imagine Canada wouldn't be too happy about being bordered on three sides by the US if Greenland was to become US territory. #NoToMeglomania

Events at Manchester United and Glasgow Celtic clubs shows that the businessmen and sports clubs model is just as successful as the businessmen and government model....

Not the best way to start any year. A truly exceptional person who never put herself into any story, but helped provide the facts that informed it.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/…

Well, this is a pretty ignorant tweet, one that ignores what an ad valorem tax is and does. All relating to taxes that predate and follow the Green Party ever having been in government

I worked with Alf Dubs on the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly. I was in awe of his fundamental decency. irishtimes.com/world/uk/2026…

My first journey of 2026 is on the top deck of the 216, a journey from Monkstown to Glasheen. With a Leap card the fare is €1.55.
I'm reading that government is reducing its commitment to public transport in an act of stupidity. We need Green transport policies more than ever.

Last day of the year. Time to reflect then on reflection think of the future. Walking along Raffeen Creek, I see this for the first time - a literal Victorian postbox, at least 125 years old. Has me thinking a trigger from the past is not a bad jump off point for the coming year.

Interesting to see newspaper reports today about arms-length state advisory bodies, the Climate Change Advisory Council & NESC, taking future-oriented policy positions that are markedly at odds with the current direction of Govt policies. They should not be ignored or resented.

This I run a successful business so I know how government should run guff O'Leary goes on with is so tiresome. He knows and cares little about government in its widest sense, which is as much, or at least should be, about society, environment and values as it is about economy.

I had two experiences in the 1990s with British CID officers at a ferryport and an airport both related to why I had named by daughter Saoirse.
Irish folk singer Christy Moore was at the centre of a previously unknown diplomatic incident in 2004 when he was locked in a room and questioned over why he was travelling to England by boat by UK officials rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/122…

A lovely stroll along Carne beach, near Carnsore Point wind farm. A reminder that most things in life are good.

Something or someone seems to be missing from this Christmas message.
25 Dec 2025
Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement. What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!! President DJT

None of us is right about everything at all times, but Greta Thunberg gets it right more times than not. The British government is perverse in legislating Palestine Action as a terrorist orgsnisation.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide.
When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble.
Happening under a Labour Government.

Sad to hear of Máirín's passing. An excellent public representative who should have been Lord Mayor of Cork.

Fox hunting in Ireland should long ago have joined cockfighting and badger baiting as illegal activities. This Dáil vote is disproportionate and is far out of line with public opinion on its continuing practice.

While serious injuries and deaths on our roads are at record levels, the government is abandoning the road safety reforms recommended by an independent review without any justification or evidence.
ALT Decision to retain RSA condemned by campaigners, opposition and some within government The government has been accused of being “deeply unserious” about road safety.

I've received my royalty statement for 2025 sales of my 2017 book 'Making Up The Numbers'. The fifty room mansion remains a distant dream, but I am somewhat pleased that another 30 people have become interested.
