Possible mass grave found on the grounds of Seán Ross Abbey mother & baby home - bigger than Tuam.

Nothing on #RTÉ about it.

Rumours Roderic O'Gorman will soon offer compensation to people who've been in three different M&B Homes, if they were there for periods between 8 months and 5 days and 11 months and 72 days...

@DaraghOBrien Well, yeah... when you turn up to the same place, every day, and do the same job, and you do it for years and years (and other people doing the same thing are PAYE employees!) - that might be a hint you're an employee. I can only assume some kind of nod and wink thing is going on. #HowIrelandWorks

Having deliberately pursued policy that drove up land prices and increased cost of development govt now going ahead with using public money to bail out developers to build private apartments sold at full market price. Never miss an opportunity to shovel public money into the private sector.

It's amazing to me how Irish politicians refuse to accept that On the Ditch always has more in the tank and it'll be death by a thousand cuts if they try and brazen it out. Also what the feck have #RTE and the rest of our media been doing that none of this has even had a whisper in their news programs and press? Miriam Lord sure isn't earning whatever she's being paid unless you count saying what happened in the dail as reporting. #HowIrelandWorks #irishpolitics #irishtimes #IrishIndependent

Ah you see it wasn't Paschal at all, it was that other fella Stone. Cheeky pup making illegal political donations on the sly without the Minister's knowledge! Well he's resigned from his public roles now, so that's all cleared up. Nothing to see here. #HowIrelandWorks
https://www.businesspost.ie/article/michael-stone-resigns-from-state-roles-after-admitting-he-helped-paschal-donohoe-with-posters-in-202/

My favourite take on the Pascal Donohoe thing is that it shows how clean our politics are as it's a relatively minor thing, forgetting this is our umpteenth scandal with this governmenrt, that he appointed the donor to some cushy roles, and we're only getting started here. #PascalDonohoe #HowIrelandWorks

@Tarbh I reckon he jumped before this became a bigger deal. The Bobby Ten Gaffs brass-neck-it-out approach didn't do Troy any career favours. The other detail of course is that English's ministerial pension is long secured, so the economic hit to him probably isn't that big overall. And sure if he loses his seat at the next GE, FG will put him in the Senate for "doing the right thing" by the party and avoiding a bigger scandal. #HowIrelandWorks
