By George, I think they’ve got it! Irish Media on Twitter

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
