How wonderful it is to see this medal haul, Ireland just tucked in behind Canada. And it is not over yet. My earliest Olympics-related excitement is the jubilation felt throughout the nation when John Treacy came home from Los Angeles with a silver medal in 1984. #OlympicGames

Ireland at its best ☘️

Toronto early morning Sunday, taken half an hour apart. Not much highway action…yet.

Sad to hear that Paul Di'Anno has passed away. I was not yet in my teens when I was knocked sideways by the sheer excitement and energy of the first two albums by #IronMaiden He had a great voice for the music #Rippauldianno #nwobhm #heavymetal #rocknroll 🤟

The man behind a lot of great and powerful rock music. RIP Mick Ralphs.

Goodnight to the incomparable Ozzy Osbourne. Saw Oz at the Top Hat in Dublin in 1987 and the Skydome in Toronto (with Black Sabbath) in 1999. Always gave 110%. A genuine character who cared that the fans always got a great night’s entertainment. They did. #BlackSabbath #RIPOzzy

SpecialNeedsNation Yeah, it’s called U-turn

Finally some good news

Should bring a smile to the face of every Dubliner ☘️

We lost Cream Bassist Jack Bruce on this day in 2014! 🙏🏻 #jackbruce
