Well, it’s a bit of a land to get at 8pm of a Sunday evening, when your twitter feed fairly explodes because the country’s leader Returns To Twitter, after a three-year hiatus.
The tweet from the Taoiseach’s account said:
Twitter, it's been a while... but it's time to talk about the #littlethings

Cue a LOT of replies of all sorts.
@EndaKennyTD The idea that all Pokémon are little is a common misapprehension. Some of them are as big as aliens. @carolmhunt

And some kept it on (political) topic:
@EndaKennyTD What about the big things Taoiseach, like your commitment to work with others and reform the Seanad after the referendum?

The tweet’s #littlethings hashtag is a reference to the HSE’s @littlethings hub, a mental-health social media initiative.

Enda Kenny first joined twitter in April 2010 but stopped tweeting when he became Taoiseach.
He has more than 21,000 followers, to date.
No further tweets yet this morning, but we are Standing By.
