Isolated reports of a fireball over Ireland have surfaced this evening on Twitter and lo footage pops up on Twitter within minutes of a meteorite over Meath that later is revealed as FAKE pops up on Youtube.

Have any video or pictures of the meteorite yourself?

Interesting to see Newstalk adopt a Liveblog-esque mish-mash of streaming video from Oireachtas.ie, in-widget Facebook statusing and Twitter updates all collected in one spot. Not sure about the size of the widget but it’s nice to see it. They are even using the hashtag #budget10!

Just hope they change the livestream to the Dáil because the Seanad isn’t due to speak on the Budget until Thursday afternoon!

We’re liveblogging Budget 2010 with Irish Election, Irish Economy, Suzy Byrne and loads of other political animals.

Interesting press release from Fianna Fáil Towers this lunchtime on how Senator Cecilia Keaveney drew Vodafone’s attention to their divisive welcome message when crossing the border from Northern Ireland to the Republic.

Currently when people on the Vodafone UK network cross over the border from the North into the Republic they automatically receive a message from Vodafone which reads: ‘Welcome to IRELAND. Calls cost up to…’.
 
“My attention was brought to this message from Vodafone by a number of people because they were offended.  They felt that they had never left Ireland,” Senator Keaveney said.
 
“I spoke with representatives of the company who said that they were obliged to include the country name when roaming was taking place. However, when I enquired with the Department of Communications, the only stipulation I found was that when jurisdictions are changed the roaming cost must be notified to the customer.”
 
“Having returned to Vodafone on the matter I have now been informed that they have: been in discussions with colleagues in Vodafone UK regarding my complaint. They confirmed that it is now possible for them to update their roaming message to begin: ‘You are now roaming and costs are as follows. . . . . “.

First step in to a united Ireland? Or is the future Orange?
