Introverts aren’t chasing attention or trying to impress anyone. They just want a calm, peaceful life and the space to do their own thing. Not everything meaningful has to be loud

Some of us are deemed unpromotable, and stuck at Pig of the Sounder, even if our colleagues and students see us as Grand Old Bore

The adjective for metal is metallic, but not for iron, which is ironic. Thank you.

During the bank holiday weekend, Limerick Station was closed while the rebuilt Foynes Line was commissioned. A number of test trains operated on the Sunday and Monday to test the routes with the first train to reach Foynes in 24 years on Monday. buff.ly/lpRwxFn

Huge congratulations to Tara Bergin on winning the @ForwardPrizes for Best Single Poem – Written 2026. ‘The Fear’ by Tara Bergin was one of two published in Issue 52, Summer 2025 of @stingingfly magazine. The judges said: ‘what was remarkable about 'The Fear' was its universality: it transmits across the generations and across experience, and that collective fear we all share about its legacy for those that follow. It's a simple poem and yet it does so much. It's not only timely; it's timeless.’ Tara says: ‘Many years ago I devised a poetry writing class called ‘Fear Poetry’. I got so interested in the whole idea I had to try it myself.’

UCC. Tomorrow I'll be in UCC talking to Department of English, MA students. Engaging with students absolutely expands my mind. Thanks Keri Andrews & Kerri Dillon. Always a delight. And really, just to wander from the college gates through campus of UCC would do your heart good.
