  5. Humphries isn't wrong to suggest a United Ireland could keep Stormont, but doing so should be part of a package of devolution across Ireland, giving each province its own Assembly. #irepol #racefortheáras

  8. Many years ago the National Gallery bought an X-Ray scanner for 125k but couldn't install it because the weight of the necessary lead lining could cause the walls of the gallery to collapse.

    You'd think they would have included that detail during the initial planning? How much more will it cost the taxpayer to rectify this "oversight"?

  10. I thought I knew who would be on Friday’s ballot paper from looking at posters on poles, and from leaflets through the letterbox (only one candidate has turned up in person). But using #WhichCandidate I realised about a 1/3 of the candidates in my constituency are unpreferrable to me in every way, and about 3 or 4 were unknown to me.

  15. A scare before bedtime. Our national fate rests in the hands of just three foreign CEOs and their companies (3, III). Lucky we have a plan.
