Ryan Tubridy getting the scoop of 2024 wasn't something I was expecting... www.google.com/amp/s/www.rs...

I spoke with Jess Casey in the @irishexaminer.bsky.social during the week on the inadequate guidelines issued on the Additional Assessment Components in the senior sciences and the impact AI will have on those science “in practice” investigations. t.co/J2n0yOjDGc

"Climate action is no longer the burden of one party — it is a shared responsibility that must transcend election cycles." - My take on #GE24 in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Almost home after a marathon day with @irishexaminer.bsky.social colleagues who have done incredible work and are still going. You wouldn't believe the effort that goes into news and sport, pick up a copy if you can.

Fair play to these folks. Buttimer and O'Callaghan appear to be in a close fight for Coveney seat in Cork South-Central. Buttimer likely to get the edge on FF transfers? All here: www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

I spent last weekend at the British Library's excellent 'Irish Writers Weekend'. I wrote this about Ireland's current cultural moment, the nature of coincidence, and what "progress" might really mean. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

This is interesting. Big discrepancy between 25-34s and 18-24s on SF v FF/FG. Housing aspiration has SF way out in front among former but FF/FG still has sway with latter. Also Soc Dems have a big role to play in future, if younger voters stick with them.

Well done to the main man Sean Murray of the @irishexaminer.bsky.social co-author of this important work on Stardust. Very well deserved.

Good read from Terry Prone on the late Gemma Hussey

Taoiseach on why he wants people to vote Labour and FF (vote transfers will be a big theme tomorrow, I suspect) and do his handlers calling media to complain show he's a Taoiseach obsessed with perception rather than substance? > Elaine Loughlin speaks to Simon Harris

What can politicians really do about climate change? In Election Watch, Mick Clifford talks Eoin English, Professor @hannahdaly.ie and UCC student Mohammed Naeem, UN Youth Delegate for Ireland on the issue of climate change.

Our writer Colin Sheridan was a peacekeeper in Lebanon so his views on how to help returning peacekeepers should be considered worthy: www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Munster String Quartet played Hans Zimmer for an hour at the Aula Maxima tonight @ucc.bsky.social and it was uplifting. No phones till the final song made it all the better (this is the quartet taking applause at the end).

It was an extraordinary moment that may have left a defining mark on this election race.
