On May 22, Ireland said YES. Yes to equality. Yes to inclusion. Yes to fairness. Yes to love. It wasn’t just a vote—it was a moment of belonging, generosity, & joy. 10 years on and the sky still hasn’t fallen in. Go Raibh Mhaith Agat #MarriageEquality #IrelandSaidYes #22May

The decision by the Irish Camogie Association to allow players the option to wear shorts is welcome albeit the result of public and player pressure. ‘First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.’ - Gandhi That’s the long & the shorts of it.

The latest stalling in applications for summer student & work visas by the USA administration is yet another unprecedented clampdown on freedoms - that you would be refused by virtue of critical democratic criticism on social media is yet another clamp down on freedom of speech.

I hear on the radio MGQ. is being spoken about as a possible candidate for Presidency. I think she would be an excellent/formidable candidate & President. She is a lady with significant courage & was an excellent TD, Minister, and a great member of the Court & EU Commissioner

Bad Eddie - Magherclogher - Bunbeg La Deas Anseo The trawler has seen better days A shipwreck, they said. Locals tell it differently— a dwindling skeleton is all that remains. Weather-beaten, still it stands, majestic, with Errigal soaring into that Donegal sky. #Donegal

Bad Eddie  - Magherclogher - Bunbeg 
La Deas Anseo

The trawler has seen better days
A shipwreck, they said.
Locals tell it differently—
a dwindling skeleton is all that remains.
Weather-beaten,
still it stands, majestic,
with Errigal soaring
into that Donegal sky.

Yesterday Brendan O’Connor with Dearbhail McDonald was excellent- left the room for a minute came back & I said he sounds like Bill Clinton - low & behold it was. Them woman who spoke about accessible fashion - she had a disability but listen back to her wider vision for fashion.
