With all the investment in the new Belfast transport hub, I don’t understand why the bus to Dublin International leaves from a street corner near city hall with no bus shelter. It’s confusing for tourists. What’s the story?

Wedding singer?! Naomi - I knew you had tunes in you!
We want to include many more female voices on #BBCTalkback, and we need your help.
Women in Northern Ireland particularly who can share their expertise and experience with our listeners. From all areas of life.
Use the hashtag #TalkbackWomen to suggest names (with an area of expertise).
What’s the best garage shop in Northern Ireland? The right answer is Creighton’s on the upper Lisburn Road. That place is unreal! 😂 and I found this old picture from the Old Belfast Facebook page.
Jaime takes things to the shops here in Ballyhack - they accept drop off donations. Oxfam and Cancer Focus are both great charities and the folks running these shops are lovely.
Yes bro! Big plus is no ads, no constant fight videos being forced into the thread. Let’s make it interesting!
Thanks Naomi! Will check it out. Sounds fun!
This will our first family Christmas in Belfast. We’ll also be taking a trip down to Dublin. What are some not-to-miss activities and what are your favourite Northern Irish / Irish Christmas traditions?
That’s a shame - Netflix couldn’t cope with the traffic. Can’t watch Katie Taylor 🇮🇪 or Tyson fights. Disappointing.
The Irish election feels flat, with no cut through issues. After the last year, with the failed referendum, the collapse of Sinn Féin, Irish troops in danger in Lebanon, immigration strife, and the EU mandate that Apple pay €13b in taxes. Where’s the debate? The ideas?
Amen! Feels fun and alive.
My first day here - hoping the below is true! Early day Twitter was great craic, especially in Belfast. I’m enjoying making new friends and finding old friends here.
That’s super useful - love the starter pack idea. Followed all these accounts. Cheers, bud!
Oh that’s handy - need that!
What’s a starter pack?!
X has become unbearable. What I loved about early days Twitter was the house-party vibe. You’d hear some jokes, debate politics, take an earful from some die-hard ideologue, and make new buddies. How are you finding this platform so far? @krobertson245.bsky.social, I followed you here! Enjoying?
