I have some wonderful memories of covering PreParty ES on the ground and while this is sad news, it's definitely the right decision. Todo mi apoyo y amor al equipo de Eurovision-Spain. Nos vemos de nuevo un día.

No joke, I would take several bullets for Declan. #LateLateToyShow

Time to unwrap Spotify. #SpotifyWrapped

Duolingo is scared that I will kidnap their family.

I forgot to do this last year but I have made up for it this year. #ESC250

Ní raibh duais ann don duine is faiseanta ach bhí duaiseanna ann do ghnólachtaí atá ag cur an Ghaeilge chun cinn gach lá. Maith sibh ar fad! There was no award for the most stylish person but there were awards for business that promote Irish every day. Well done everyone! #Gradaim25

The craziest thing about this is that it wouldn't be Canada's first apperance in a Eurovision contest. They participated in Eurovision Young Dancers in 1987 and 1989.

Kinda weird that we get the running order before all of the songs are released...

"Aon post ar fáil in Áras an Uachtaráin, a Catherine?" Buaileann tú le gach duine ag Oireachatas na Samhna, fiú leis an Uachtarán nua tofa! B'fhéidir gur chóir dom freastal air níos minice ná uair amháin gach deich mbliana as seo amach... #OnaS25

Dualgas daonlathach déanta. Democratic duty done. Let's get Catherine Connolly in Áras an Uachtaráin! #Áras25

All four provinces of Ireland have now had at least one Junior Eurovision representative. Not bad on our 10th anniversary. A Lottie, feicifdh mé in Tbilisi thú!

Ní amháin gur labhair mé le daltaí ollscoile na todhchaí ag Higher Options faoin obair ar fad a dhéanann Foras na Gaeilge ach chuir mé réamhaisnéis na haimsire i láthair chomh maith!

What a finish to one of the greatest things to grace Irish television in the 21st century. RTÉ have hit it out of the park with #TraitorsIRL because they took something international and made it very Irish. I'm already looking forward to series 2!

Okay, this might finally work. #TraitorsIRL

Where's the whole "You're awfully quiet. You must be a Traitor" argument gone when the two people that said the least are Traitors?! Open your eyes girlos! #TraitorsIRL

At this point, I'm waiting for Wilkin to turn around and say that he has a PhD in Behavourial Psychology and has everyone figured out. #TraitorsIRL

That roundtable got too personal and further strengthened my belief that the Traitors need to be taken out asap. #TraitorsIRL

Everyone in Ireland sending Oyin psychic reinforcements right now so that she can oust Nick and Ben. #TraitorsIRL

Bhí seachtain ghnóthach agam ach bhí am agam chun dul ar Splanc ar Newstalk chun labhairt faoin nuacht is déanaí maidir le hÉire agus an Eorafís 2026.Tá m'agallamh le cloisteáil ar na hardáin ar fad!

Cearta teanga, cearta daonna. #CEARTA

Chonaic mé SexyTadhg aréir agus ní bheidh mo shaol mar an gcéanna riamh arís.

Good night, Daddy. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. #TraitorsIRL

I know other versions do funeral missions but no one does funerals quite like the Irish! #TraitorsIRL

No need for a round table tonight because Siobhán just murdered Vanessa. #TraitorsIRL

Nah, I'm not ready to say goodbye to Christine. #TraitorsIRL

Paudie should just recruit Wilkin because not a single soul would suspect someone who has been like this the entire game. #TraitorsIRL

The fact Oyin has everyone figured out but the Traitors never seem to see her as a threat is fascinating to me. I'm surprised Oyin hasn't said that she sees herself with the prize money yet tbh. #TraitorsIRL

Honestly, if The George doesn't organise a live final viewing with our diva Oyin as a special guest, we have failed as a society. #TraitorsIRL

It's sad that it has come to this but I completely stand behind RTÉ's decision. A country that wants to wipe an entire group of people from existence, runs a government-backed voting campaign and whose journalists harass others should not be in Eurovision.

Ireland picking CMAT for this is probably the closest we'll get to sending CMAT to actual Eurovision.

Since I went to my first Irish dance class in five years this week, here's a throwback to when I was part of the winning Céilí Club team at the World Irish Dancing Championship in 2020. I've also been told that Céilí Club hasn't been held since then, so I'm still a reigning champion!

Eamon and Katelyn plotting Paudie's downfall only for Paudie to be last Traitor standing has given me such clear skin. #TraitorsIRL

Andrew deserves to stay because he recognises Oyin's clairvoyant powers. #TraitorsIRL

Siobhán becomes more mother with every episode and the people of Ireland deserve nothing less. #TraitorsIRL

This Round Table is about to turn into the Hunger Games and I'm here for it. As for Paudie... #TraitorsIRL

Paudie when he manages to get Eamon out tonight. #TraitorsIRL

The fact that everyone is getting so close to catching the Traitors but are still so far away is so nervewrecking. Listen to SherMark Holmes! #TraitorsIRL

I'm absolutely loving the integration of Irish folklore into the challenges. It's making a great series even better. #TraitorsIRL

Muintir na Gaeilge i láthair na huaire #TraitorsIRL

Let's see what happens this time.

Eamon is going to get stabbed in the back by the other Traitors because he's getting way too cocky. Mark my words. #TraitorsIRL

Niall, gheobhfainn bás ar do shon. #TraitorsIRL

Ben couldn't be my son. But Andrew is! #TraitorsIRL

Let's get treacherous. #TraitorsIRL

Wir sehen uns im Mai, oida!

Lucht leanúna na hEorafíse ag tabhairt amach faoi athrú ar bith ar an gcomórtas? Ní raibh mé ag súil leis sin ar chor ar bith!

Dualgais an athar bhaistí / Godfather duties

A guy beside on the train to Dundalk just asked me if Dundalk was in Ireland or England. Open the schools.

🇧🇪 Fijne nationale feestdag aan iedereen in België! Hopelijk tot snel! 🇧🇪 Bonne fête nationale à tous et à toutes en Belgique! À très bientôt, j'espère! 🇧🇪 Einen schönen Nationalfeiertag an alle in Belgien! Hoffentlich bis bald!

You did a normal 9 to 5 job today. I did a beginner's Manx course as part of my job today. We are not the same.
