The Daily PollTHREADS, THE TEXT-based social media app launched in July by Facebook owner Meta, has been available in Ireland since mid-December.
Threads is a spin-off of the Instagram photo app and is intended to be a rival to X, formerly known as Twitter.
The app launched in July and had 10 million sign-ups in the first few hours, mostly due to its close proximity to Instagram.
This offered the new app a built-in audience of more than two billion users, thereby sparing the new platform the challenge of starting from scratch.
However, its release in Europe was delayed over data privacy concerns.
So, today we want to know… Have you signed up to Threads?

Who would do this to an elderly man? What kind of man would have so little regard for authority that he would usurp said authority? And believe there would be no consequences?
A toe rag without a conscience !
Alright sis?

Very good Bigus!
Sis..i just bask in the reflected..or vicarious..glow….all ireland at 9…
God that’s so creepy.
This is weird. A lot of messing goes on here.
Richard…1st time ever u are hilarious!
It’s the same account Jamie,there are a small number of far-right white supremacists operating multiple Twitter & Facebook accounts to give the impression there’s a consensus to their sad little views,it’s sociopathic behaviour,very odd.
Bask away , you’ve every right to . I hope you 9 year old is getting spoilt …deserves it !
Lots of odd balls frequent this place. It is what it is I suppose.
Jamie…read back….its not all about getting at you…sometimes..it is what it seems – innocent and harmless.
Richard, I can assure it’s not the same account .
That’s that settled then! Lol
Suzie…oh i bask! Shes lethal! And yes…i spoil her….love her..but her ma does the driving cos i gotta work…
Richard…your stock response doesnt cover up your accusations…i gave you an out…
Peter , fair play from the sounds of it you’re going to have many more proud moments like this .
Sis…if pm is possible/advisable whatever…jeez the crew here are hard core ….
Bro , I agree I agree with you on that one if it’s possible . Too many paranoid heads !
Ill find a way to give you her name….this is more important than you or i….shes only a baby at 9 ffs…once you google her youll understand….soon sis…night.x.
Bro , I think I already do understand but I will watch out for her .. Regardless of the crap on here , thanks for sharing your little one’s great achievement ..
Not a dating site , totally irrelevant thread between u and suzie
It wasn’t me ‘boss’
What the hell are ye all talking about. This is a story about a car jacking and an old man being robed. Not a personal chat site
At the local Identity Crisis Ireland Cumann no doubt!
Maybe yisser the same person?
And this an article about impersonation and all. Gas.
Jamie..its ok..you are funny.normal combat and hostility will resume as soon as possible…
If you have something to say, why not use your real name? What are you afraid of?
I’d say the pair of them have certain legislation in mind which requires their anonymity.
That was in response to Peter .
Yes jamie..my name is suzie…you hangin with richard again?
There’s a few others on here that Richard likes to hang out with too ..
Congratulations to Gardai for fast action & hope elderly man is recovering from his ordeal.
Journal here has descended into low grade farce
Sweet mother of god- is anyone awake in the Journal.ie towers? Seriously need to cop on and have someone on alert for the gob****s that impersonate posters on here, should make it a rule that only verified accounts can post comments. Don’t give me bull about privacy etc, stand over your comments or don’t bother posting them!
Hope they catch him. Impersonating a law enforcement officer is a very serious crime in any country . There will be no suspended sentence after doing that
So how do you impersonate a garda..dress up in appropriate attire.and ask is this your vehicle.
Just use words like VEEEHICLE, GOWS, SCROTS etc eec
Bigus….more hilarious!!!
It’s actually quite a serious offence.
Ah you’re just an anonymous empty vessel making too much noise. Larissa called you out weeks ago.
You don’t have to do anything special to impersonate a Gard. Was walking home from a house party with some mates one night years ago, stopped as we passed through a car park to admire some really well done graffiti. Car pulls up, two lads get out, come over and ask us for ID. Never even identified themselves as Gards. We were all complying, til one of my mates asked to see THEIR ID.
We’re not educated enough in this country about what rights we have with regards interactions with the Gards. The mentality of “Yes Gard, no Gard, three bags full Gard” means this poor lad just did what we’ve been conditioned to do.
Commas rarely, make stuff unfunny.
This wouldn’t have happened if the pubs were open today. Fact.
Now here’s a guy that’s going places
I got our potatoes sown before the bad weather arrived. Care to way in….
It is very serious to impersonate a Guard, the judge should throw the book at these low life’s. I expect nothing less than 10 years, lets see how it plays out….
Jeez lads…such hostility and suspicion toward a good news story about a child between two upstanding regular posters….you should all be ashamed…read back if in doubt that im correct…
Ah sis that was unbelievable….is there any secure way i can enable you to google her?the posters here are monsters despite being invited to re read our innocent posts…
Do you remember that other chap that we used to talk to on here ? I think he’s on Facebook ….
Who?
Im not on facebook…
Is the surname F…t.r innocently constructed?
This happened a woman in Wexford too you don’t know if they are genuine guards or not
have your say
