Sometimes RTÉ News needs to wind their neck in.

"Almost three-quarters of Irish adults are in favour of a social media ban for under-16s, according to new research"
https://www.rte.ie/news/2026/0618/1579003-social-media-ban/

>The survey of 1,000 people was conducted by Censuswide for Pure Telecom.

Excuse me? 1,000?! Only 1,000 were surveyed?!
And that warrants the headline "Almost three-quarters of Irish adults"?

What are peeps using for banking these days? I’m using N26 but considering moving to Revolut.

I don’t have an Irish bank account (My last account was an Ulster Bank account and have been with N26 since 2018 ish.)

@governorkeagan It does appear to be mostly US based which is a shame, but I'm honestly not sure how that is managed or curated.

NJPW will be crowning the Inaugural IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 18.

This will replace the IWGP United Kingdom (/United States) Championship that was introduced in 2017.

At that point, I gave up and used their WhatsApp service. Slow... as all hell, and they didn't even do anything for me.

PITA.
