  1. Today's column on the #IrishTimes by #JustineMcCarthy is an exceptionally good overview of the context of the #Drumcree dispute between the #OrangeOrder and the residents of the #GarvaghyRoad.

    McCarthy argues that only an all-Ireland republic can end this hate-fest.

  5. This #IrishTimes poll sets a record for the most blatantly partisan and mendacious framing I have ever seen in any #OpinionPoll anywhere about anything. 😡

    Despite the bias, 68 per cent favour the current model of neutrality over the loaded alternative option.

  9. When #Labour were in the top four the #IrishTimes would display graphics with four parties. Now it's only three.

    Bias much?

    Emily St John Mandel's upcoming book Exit Party is getting positive coverage in both the #IrishTimes and #FinancialTimes this weekend.

    I guess I know what I'll be reading next!

    That seems to be an improvement in headline writing.

  19. On the #IrishTimes's #InsidePolitics podcast, Tory-aligned broadcaster #IainDale was musing about #AndyBurnham's "professional northerner" shtick.

    Dale noted that it was going down badly wuth his relatives in the xouth-west, wondered how long #Burnham could keep it up before it really began to grate.

    I am puzzled by why no comedian sems to have landed a ball in this open goal. Surely somebody will get over their dream of a Labour revival, and do their job as a satirsist?

  23. I’m starting to suspect that Corinna Hardgrave, the #IrishTimes restaurant critic, might be using her platform more as a way to revisit her personal favorites than to provide objective reviews. It’s been months since she awarded a score below 8/10—either #Ireland truly has the best restaurants on the planet, or there’s something off. I could name at least ten places I’d never set foot in.

  27. #PatLeahy is political ed of The #IrishTimes. His 1st paid job was at #ThePhoenix. So can Pat explain its demise? archive.is/CILA6

    Pat says The Phoenix was redundant. It had exposed corruption, but tribunals & laws ended corruption.

    Bollix! The Galway Tent ended. In came mega-scandals of neoliberalism. In 2013, the FG-Lab govt handed Irish housing to vulture funds, & tried privatising water. More muck than ever. But now its neoliberal muck, and the Irish Times is neoliberal. 🤮

  31. Sent a Letter to the Editor to The Irish Times. Doesn't look like they're going to use it:
    Sir,
    As Ireland saunters towards a multi-billion-euro carbon compliance fine in 2030, how odd that we think it normal for each individual to be carried around by one-and-a-half tons of metal – every one all on their owney-o.

  35. Feckin judge to consider letting feckin Enoch feckin Burke out of feckin prison. #IrishTimes report archive.is/daV3V

    Enough! Just feckin stop. #EnochBurke has been asked dozens of times to purge his contempt by promising to stop trespassing at the school. Ask him again, but let the ruling stand: no release until contempt purged.

    The courts have already wasted far far too much time on #BurkeFamily's decade-long campaign of strategic abuse of Ireland's legal system. Wrap it up.

  39. If you live in #Ireland and follow the political scene, you might wonder like me how different parties vote on particular issues - and the coverage can be light on this detail, even in an excellent outlet like the #IrishTimes!

    e.g. on last week's vote to waive the three-day waiting period for abortion, this tool tells you most of the two governing parties voted against (FF 12:30, FG 11:23), while the Irish Times only highlighted how some government ministers voted for.

  47. In the #IrishTimes, Mark Paul opines that Andy #Burnham will have to offer a big job to Wes #Streeting. archive.is/wDwWU

    Probably true. Who wants Streeting outside the tent, pissing in?

    Paul suggests Chancellor or #ForeignSecretary.

    Streeting's love of private equity would make him a scary Chancellor.

    But Foreign Sec could be interesting. The v talented young Palestinian Leanne Mohamad is ready to take Wes's #IlfordNorth seat, so Wes would have to be very tough on Israel.
