Stormont’s honeymoon ends as Brexit pulls parties apart
#DUP have, again, picked a needless political fight that underscores the politically instability of Northern #Ireland.
Nothing would push an investor away harder.
#brexit has made the case for Irish unity better than any nationalist will ever do.

A network diagram of UK constituencies, where an "edge" means a shared boundary, a side-output of an algorithm to amalgamate single-seaters into multi-seaters. Scotland (orange) and Wales (blue) are separated by definition (the internal "national" borders block amalgamation) and Northern Ireland (green) by the sea.

Emerging Challenges of Integrating Solar PV in the Ireland and Northern Ireland Power Systems
This paper discusses emerging operational challenges associated with the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) in the All-Island power system (AIPS) of Ireland and Northern Ireland. These include the impact of solar PV on: (i) dispatch down levels; (ii) long-term frequency deviations; (iii) voltage magnitude variations; and (iv) operational demand variations. A case study based on actual data from the AIPS is used to analyze the above challenges. It is shown that despite its (still) relatively…

Wait, what? I'm supposed to post photos of green cars on St. Patrick's day? ☘️
In that case, can I present my 1961 Series IIA Land Rover.
It currently is painted in *more* than 40 shades of green, with the added bonus that it lives just outside #Downpatrick (said to be the burial place of the man himself) Northern Ireland.

Stability Assessment of Low-Inertia Power Systems: A System Operator Perspective
This paper discusses the stability assessment of low-inertia power systems through a real-world large-scale low-inertia system, namely, the All-Island power system (AIPS) of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This system currently accommodates world-record levels of system non-synchronous penetration namely 75% (planning to increase to 80% next year). The paper discusses one-month results obtained with the state-of-the-art stability tool called look-ahead security assessment (LSAT). This tool carrie…

To be fair to storming Norman, he was probably more balanced in his displeasure at a first minister from "SinnFein-IRA" (they prefer #SinnFein, as the interviewer helpfully noted) than the average #RTE segment on Northern Ireland.
I think, Storming Norman even acknowledged NI nationalists exist, thus preventing his appearance on any RTE panel in the near future.
