Where in Ireland could I order a FIFA World Cup sticker book and stickers? I'd like to buy one for my soccer obsessed nephew.

The pathetic spectacle of Europeans clinging to the terms of their surrender even as the US side flagrantly violates the deal has been hard to watch. We can't go on like this. It's time for Europe to drop the appeasement and say the deal is off.

F*ck Róisín Murphy.

Palestine Football Association President Jibril Rajoub refused to shake hands with Basim Sheikh Suliman, the vice president of Israel’s soccer governing body, during a tense moment at the FIFA Congress on Thursday.

The Trump administration rejected all four women farmers chosen by their peers to represent them in an industry group called the United Soybean Board earlier this year, a rare intervention by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that three of the women suspected was because of their gender.

At this rate, the Dublin Metro will be built before this is ever opened.

Why is the Irish government proposing tax cuts at a time when alarm bells have been ringing for years about our FDI hinging on just a few US companies based here? We've heard that we need to widen our tax base to help address this. Instead, it's repeating the mistakes of Celtic Tiger-era Ireland.

I don't think getting €10 extra a week from any budget tax cuts is going to solve anything for me. What will solve things is investment in public services and infrastructure through taxation that helps build a better Ireland.

Regulating airbnb being turned into another "attack on rural Ireland" shows how ridiculous and meaningless that phrase is. Increasing the available houses so people can actually live where they're from as opposed to being priced out by landlords and holiday homes is an attack on rural Ireland 🤷‍♀️

This is all down to the gays and that marriage equality!

2,000 more people in emergency accommodation compared to this time last year. And we're the richest we've ever been as a country.

Presumably in another 40 years everyone under 50 will say the new Stephens Green shopping centre is a beautiful iconic integral part of Dublin I hate the new soulless design but I'm also amused cos I'm old enough to remember we all despised the current cheap looking Mississippi river boat in 1988

Pathetic move by the US. And after Russia apparently gave Iran the locations of US military bases in the Gulf region.

I see that the new design for the redevelopment of St. Stephen's Green has been approved. The current charming building front will soon be replaced by an dull office-like building or something you'd find on a college campus.

This only applies to the Schengen Area. What does this mean for Ireland.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

The US far-right are determined to interfere and influence European and Irish elections. Here’s James Geoghegan and John Dallon, who portrayed themselves as ordinary farmers / contractors, hobnobbing with Kevin Posobiec, an American far-right influencer.

Deeply hungover at the gym for leg day. Send help.

Jaw-dropping reporting by The Atlantic about FBI Director Kash Patel.

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman who supported Trump for years, being left unable to travel internationally or vote due to Trump's anti-trans policies should be a stark warning to any of the anti-trans gay people out there. The leopards will make a meal of your face too. Just wait.

There are five reasons why a mooted move against Micheál Martin seemingly ended before it began, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

A funeral director has issued an appeal to find the next of kin of a Co Down woman who died alone in hospital without any family. Margaret Ellen ‘Peggy’ Murdoch died last week, 9 April, at hospital aged 81. jrnl.ie/7013200

The name of that manager? Albert Einstein.

A phrase to send chills up & down a historian's spine: “cognitive surrender.”

Probably fine. Definitely nothing to do with the far right influence on the protests.

Its increasingly the case the current US administration is just the court of a mad king. Fall out of favour, and you're out. Alliances mean nothing to him, so long as you bow down to him. Who will he turn to when he has no one to turn to?

The princes to the Kingdom of Kerry fall away again back behind their castle walls.

Michael Healy-Rae understood to have said "I Will Diminish, and Go Into The West, and Remain Michael Healy-Rae"

I was always surprised that he became a minister. While previous independent TDs had the want and willingness to remain part of the government, MHR was never going to throw away his favourability with his constituents for towing the government line of the day. He's not a backbencher.

Gowan Mary!

Péter Magyar victory speech: "Hungary wants to be a European country again. We want to return to Europe." The crowd immediately chants "Russians, go home" in response.

While these are very impressive turnout numbers in Hungary's general election, at the present time, it's not clear who this will benefit.

A few parked lorries for a few days, and the country was on the cusp of economic ruination.

You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.

have there been zero arrests after four days of road blockages? asking for that teenager who was arrested at Shannon Airport for sitting on an empty road in an industrial estate

Great. I'm getting ads for tractors now on Insta. Thanks, Obama.
