Conor Murphy says the "wheels are coming off" the stormont project. Not surprising, given the DUPs refusal to fully embrace equality and change, and years of British government underfunding. It's time to set the whole thing aside and push for reunification of our island.

Claiming a genocide is a war should be declared a crime, even when uttered by a washed up, attention seeking former pop 'star'. Then again, it's only the Palestinian people, who, to humanity's eternal shame, are deemed people non grata, and their horrific fate of no consequence.

I did not know about Gaelic football rules or the Mayo curse until a few weeks ago. Heck, as a German who never lived in Ireland, I couldn't have pointed out county Mayo on a map until a few months ago. But this is single-handedly one of the best moments of sport I've witnessed in my time! #Mayo4Sam

I love Ciarraí, one of my favourite spots in the whole island, but i hope Maigh Eo do it today, 75 years is a long wait, time to end the 'curse'. Anyway, with 39 titles the Kingdom need to learn to share a bit lol. Either way, hoping for a cracker game. #GAA #AllIreland

Limerick coasting to the win, and deservedly so, sharper, hungrier, more clinical, and ruthless. Galway nowhere near them So deserved winners, but a disappointing final, and not much of a spectacle for the neutral. #GAA #AllIreland.

Went to see the Odyssey last night, excellent cast and very enjoyable. Was/is it true to Homer's epic? Depends which version you've read (how many people can actually say they have read it in it's entirety, word for word?), but you will certainly recognise it. Overall, great show, and worth seeing.

I gather a huge pile of rubbish, dump it on public land, bedeck it with rascist/sectarian symbols, set fire to it, causing homes to burn down, public endangerment, and large scale environmental pollution/ damage. How long before i'm in a cell awaiting court? Claim 'cultural expression' and im fine.

A another person dead after falling from a bonfire, homes destroyed and damaged by out of control fires. Roads melted and enviroment wrecked, air filled with carcinogenic fumes, yet no unionist politician will speak out against these anti-social hate pyres. They need banned, not just regulated.

Ann Widdecombe, 'strong christian values'? Whatever 'values' she held, christian charity, love, respect, were not among them. Amazing how these people are alleged to have allegiance to a dark skinned Palestinian man, while ignoring his teachings, and dehumanising other dark skinned people today.

So Trump about to set the middle east ablaze again, and hammer the world economy, he and his buddies will profit of course. If ever an open window or slippery stair case was needed, it's now.
