The Irish media really seem to be getting to grips with Twitter.
RTE radio 1’s Morning Ireland ran a package on it this morning thanks to reporter @ElMcM
Yesterday’s Sunday Tribune and Sunday Times had articles about it
Today, The Irish Times Politics Blog discussed it
Last week, Jenny Kelly (@cupidkelly) of The Ray D’Arcy Show on Today FM started using it
So what Irish journalists and mainstream media types are using Twitter? For the sake of argument we’ll use the term ‘using’ lightly!
Here’s a preliminary list - feel free to add to it!

Very impressed by George Hook. He is really getting the hang of Twitter.
Great list. Thanks for that Emily.
I thought when I read it first that the “By George” in the title was a reference to @ghook
nice list, some new people to follow for me. thanks
Hi Emily - I’m new to the Twitter scene so it’s great to have more people to follow - thank you!:)
