Well, their loose mouths, could have cost them their jobs

senior management - she ended up getting a much more amenable deal than the four amigos had been sent to achieve. The fact that I didn't like the company concerned, made this even sweeter, but it was a salutary lesson, not to discuss confidential matters in public - never know who's listening 😉

until they were asked had they travelled down on the 19:00hrs train, in the seats that I had told her about. They looked at her gobsmacked - then she revealed that a loyal former employee, had rung her, & shared what they had been saying about the company - would they like for her to contact their

I asked her by any chance, was she due to meet some people from "X" company in the morning - She asked how the bleep did I know that, shared with her, what had been said by the four, which was very beneficial to her, as she was ready for them. The four blokes entered the meeting rather gung ho,

Joe, I was coming down on the 19:00hrs from Heuston & four guys started talking directly behind me about my former employer, who I remained very good friends with. They were due to meet her the following morning. So I took some notes & gave her a call at about 21:50, which she wasn't expecting

@brianleddin.bsky.social My deepest condolences - just learnt that your Mother passed away - Look after yourself. Ciarán

Gardaí are refusing to prosecute reports of Dangerous Driving in the #Cork area, unless you have dashcam footage! Amazing that you can report other crimes that won't result in Death, and take statements!

@cianginty.bsky.social @joenoonan.bsky.social Am I missing something here - besides when I realised who the judge was - Cian, are you aware of any plans for the DPP to appeal this verdict

Which would be destroyed on the ground before they ever took off. How long do these idiots think it will take to deliver pilots capable of operating these aircraft, given the constant haemorrhaging of personnel from the defence forces, culture change needed to remove the bullying/stitch up mentality

@noeldolphin.bsky.social - Quick question - which is easier/cheaper regarding infrastructure for inner city rail. Precast at height into ground or tearing up roads to install the rails, Noel. Talks going on about introducing lines into the city where I am living. You are the expert!

I would "kill" for the valve radio in the window, Joe

Same here.

Thanks as always, Gareth - getting hairy down here, with some not nice noises coming from the rafters of the roof

@noeldolphin.bsky.social Evening Noel, quick question for you - Is it true that colourblind people will be able to operate trains in the UK soon. I

@ucc.bsky.social Happy New Year, folks - any news regarding "A Summer Evening in the Quad" happening this summer coming?

2020 Tipperary Constituency Overview from RTÉ

2020 Tipperary Constituency Result First Count

2024 Tipperary North First Count Result

You make reference to Michael Lowry's decrease in votes received in the 2024 election but somehow failed to mention that there was a huge reduction in the available electorate (56,567 between 2024 & 2020 due to boundary changes) - Lowry received 27.4% of the 2024 valid poll compared to 18.1% in 2020

Nothing diverted to the Peoples Republic to my knowledge

Gareth, has anyone thought of diverting ships to Cork - plenty of spare capacity from Swansea to Cork

Condolences to the loved ones of the deceased

Evening Richie, not sure as to this, but Gavlar will be able to supply the answer - they have failed to adjust the voting criteria to recognise the QQI framework which equates qualifications! I know that for a categorical fact.

@oconnellhugh.bsky.social Welcome

@joenoonan.bsky.social Ah, the quality - you are here as well, Joe. Hope all's well with you. Ciarán

@lnbdublin.bsky.social Good to see you over here as well, Lynn.

Maybe the question needs to be asked why female candidates are not resonating with female voters, given that they comprise more than 50% of the population - the quota system has failed to change this. No quota provision for Disabled Candidates!

There were quality female candidates across the country but for some unknown reason, they didn't resonate with female voters

But hold on a sec, Tom - just as many female voters as male - so why aren't they voting for female candidates?

@gavreilly.com Who do you foresee throwing their hat into the ring for the Ceann Comhlairle's role

Evening Gareth, Ciarán here from the other place - who do you foresee taking on the role of Ceann Comhlairle

Cheers pal

Evening Richard, any news on what is happening around Cork
