Did you know you can get a job in Ireland that requires you to drive for work and you can do the job on an International licence?
I mean, no test or questions about your driving just on you go.
I know, I was nearly run off the road by a man who told me the story @RSAIreland

Probably have the wrong end of the stick, but is RTE management now being accused of buying a €5,000 tracksuit top for Ger Gilroy, their €190,000 podcaster which ex-Newstalk and current €269,055 RTE Head of Audio Patricia Monahan** recruited from .... Newstalk.
Scandalous, you can get two Gucci tracksuit tops for that.
** You'll recall that when Jim Jennings, the €240,000 RTE Director of Content (who went off sick for a year after the Ryan Tubridy scandal broke in 2023, and who was paid a golden goodbye by RTE of €495,000) left RTE, he was replaced by not one, but two managers .... Patricia Monahan above on €269,055 and Steve Carson, husband of Miriam O'Callaghan on €276,282.
Remember, special liquidation of RTE remains an option....

RTÉ staff in ‘absolute uproar’ over Ger Gilroy hiring ahead of crunch Oireachtas hearing
National broadcaster denies presenter was given clothing allowance and salary of €190,000 as part of new role
Head of audio Patricia Monahan stated in September how Gilroy applied for the job through RTÉ’s expressions-of-interest process.
This was contradicted by Gilroy himself in a recent interview with The Irish Times. He said RTÉ’s head of podcasts, Hugh Ormond, reached out to him and pitched a daily sports podcast, which started on October 19

We generally don’t use all that many bottles or cans so I find it funny when I see queues of people dragging black backs into a supermarket and standing in the smell of old beer only to say how good the scheme is 😂

A man is in custody after a stabbing at an IPAS centre in Tralee, Co Kerry. One victim dead , another is seriously ill in hospital. Third person less seriously injured. Suspect is from Africa.
Let’s have a one week strike and set out sat navs to “avoid Tolls”.
The M50 is a car park now so upping the price means nothing to us.

British Invaders still invading 😂
King Charles III is 1 of only 3 people who can travel anywhere on Earth legally without a passport. 🇬🇧
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Charles III does not require a British passport as all British passports are issued in his name. However, this does not grant him the right to travel anywhere as countries control their own borders. Other people can also receive passport waivers under country-specific rules.

GOVT MISINFORMATION ALERT - If Ireland deploys DF to *EU Support Mission to Lebanon without Triple Lock -It will NOT be Blue Helmet Peacekeeping Mission -It will be EU Peace ENFORCEMENT Mission to Disarm Hezbollah (Based on Trilateral Agreement With Israel US & Lebanon)-CIVIL WAR
Govt has taken First Step to destroy Triple Lock -Next Step Govt will Deploy Irish Men & Women to Non-UN Mandated ‘Peace Enforcement’ Missions -To Lebanon to Disarm Hezbollah? -This will NOT be Blue Helmet ‘Peacekeeping’ -Our #Neutral Status? Gone Against will of the Irish People
Already sending us to war so we can die for the rich man’s greed.
Peace enforcement means fighting and death.
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Helen McEntee.

Moving to a different gravy train 😂 I wonder what Dee Forbes would say?
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that Ryan Tubridy would be 'very welcome' to enter the world of politics, after the former Late Late Show host joked that he goes to bed "dreaming some day" he will reclaim his grandfather's seat in Galway West.
