There are over 100 members of staff in RTÉ on “personal contracts”, says Kevin Bakhurst, granted to them where the existing salary structure is not considered adequate to retain their services

Deputy Michael Cahill FF claims Michael Healy Rae sought to clarify on Monday night that if he voted with government and Danny against, that he would be able to stay as Minster for State. I would imagine this will be hotly contested by Michael Healy Rae.

Micheal Healy Rae not coming on Kerry Today this morning. Danny came on but not revealing what discussions were had between them yesterday before exiting government. Separately hearing that Govt backbenchers are getting hot and heavy criticism and sometimes abuse from constituents.

Michael Healy-Rae is announcing he is resigning from Government and from his position as Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture. More to follow.

Holy Jesus.

Denmark what the hell...🙈

Yerra.

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?

So GAA+ is the only option for Kerry GAA fans to watch the Armagh Kerry game. €15. Only one camera at the Athletic Ground. Poor.

This is mind boggling. How did Gardaí bot bother to ask him who gave him the polling card and who he was asked to vote for?

And all this time we all thought he was a Cardinal!! Papal Nuncio Archbishop Rinuccini landed in Kenmare in 1645 to an Ireland in turmoil. Great chat with Prof Tadhg O'Hannrachain this morning @radiokerry.bsky.social www.radiokerry.ie/kerry-today/...

My God. Look how far America's Republican legislators have fallen, now just a rag tag band of pathetic supplicants, self stripped of any power, in a patronage system to an unelected oligarch who says 'call me when you have a problem...' The party of Abraham Lincoln. apnews.com/article/trum...

Unreal.

🎵Leeeds Leeds are falling apart again...🎵

On the way back from doing the Kerry Today show this morning in Dingle and stopped at Inch. High winds, winter sun, Kite surfers and a Crow battling the wind. #Kerry @radiokerry.bsky.social

Holy FUCK. Rothwell skins a man and whips the ball for the far post and Struijk got his head on it. Who cares? Subs are on the pitch. Farke is on the pitch. He gets wiped out by someone in the celebrations. Elland Road just exploded. Leeds United 2-1 Sunderland

Electric motorcycle grants? You'd think they'd be better advised to increase the pathetically low number of publicly available charging points before doing anything else.
