OK, there's always a line and Mattie McGrath has crossed it by telling RTÉ representations: "Putin wouldn't get away with some of what ye did." An utterly pointless contribution to the Oirechtas committee that helps us learn nothing.

Drink-driving and leaving home with the sniffles are now on a par, says Professor Philip Nolan. We really are living in crazy times.

Somehow Ashling Murphy’s parents found the words. They sat down with the Irish Independent to tell of her passion for music, drive for sport and love of family. What’s happened is beyond a worst nightmare.

This is pretty mad: Out of the 74,000 that ‘answered Ireland’s call’ (remember that warm fuzzy story), just 54 health staff have been recruited. HSE says only 14,000 applicants were suitable.

Stopped by the ‘protest’ in Finglas just now. Such utter rubbish being spouted. Always amazed how they claim to speak for the people yet fail to understand democracy. Meanwhile… “I have friends with me from mid-Ulster, Tyrone…”

Here it is... Timmy Dooley’s empty seat in the Dail on Thursday afternoon. He is recorded as voting in six divisions - but as you can see he’s not there. Big questions for Fianna Fáil to answer but they didn’t reply to @Independent_ie last night. #Votegate

Ouch! This from Minister Sean Fleming: “Rather than just complaining on what the Government is going to do for me, you could actually have a serious impact on your own finances but it involves people having to do some work themselves.”

Minister says people should shop around instead of ‘complaining’ about cost of living

A junior minister has said people should shop around instead of “complaining” about the rising cost of living.

Leo Varadkar meets Micheál Martin in Cork today in a bid to save Confidence and Supply Agreement. Last time a Fine Gaeler went to Cork to talk about a treaty it didn't end well. #GE17

Michael Healy-Rae logged into Dáil on day he was in Kerry for a funeral. My story today reveals how despite being chair of the EU Affairs Com, he missed the Dáil addresses by Michel Barnier and Jean Claude Juncker - but managed to ‘clock in’ both days.

Now there’s a headline I didn’t expect on Christmas Eve... ISIL terror suspect Lisa Smith has bail surety rejected partly because the family friend putting up the money assaulted the referee who allowed the famous goal which cost Louth the 2010 Leinster Football Final.

#New Tánaiste Simon Covene is to meet Karen Bradley in London tonight and seek a clarification of her claim security forces killings during the Troubles were "not crimes". He’ll remind her there are “no amnesties from prosecution” provided for in the Good Friday Agreement.
