For some reason rivers don’t hold the same place in the public consciousness as the sea does, but people from a town built on a river can have just as much emotional attachment to that river as any coastal community has to the sea. I love a swim in the Suir ahead of anywhere else
There’s just under 7.5 million people on this island. 83 thousand of us were in Croke Park last night to see the final chapter of Katie Taylor’s glorious career. That’s just over 1% of the population. That’s some statistic.
What a fantastic week for Irish sport in both athletics and swimming, following on from Aaron McKenna’s world title in the boxing ring. The sports that the media sometimes refer to as “other sports” are the ones where our little nation continues to deliver the best results
Sarah Healy frustrated despite ‘decent’ fifth in European 1,500m final
It was an unforgettable week in Birmingham for Irish athletics where four medals included two golds
And that’s a wrap…

Really good fight for Joe Ward. Looked in a tough spot at one stage but got back on top. Good win. @SkySportsBoxing
#CarlFrampton always comes across as a good man. Seems genuinely interested in the people he meets on his On Probation TV show.
Got a bit of stick on here last week because of the football team he supports, but there’s photos out there of him in the Antrim GAA colours too.
Is today the day we’ve been waiting for @colmoregan? Is it the butter equinox today?

The quietest dog we had at the front gate - was the great Westmead Hawk.
He was the quietest until he heard one man’s voice. Then the barking &jumping started.
It cemented the bond he had with dogs - he respected them & they loved him. I was lucky to witness it.
RIP Nick.

This image of the mass funeral of 165 girls killed by the US / Israel attack on their school should be the front page of every news outlet
If your go-to news source is ignoring it, they aren't reporting the news - they're filtering it
Does that lad in the Tipp jersey call himself “Rock” after the Rock of Cashel?

A storm blew up during the Dun Laoighre Harbour Swim. Safety boats picked up more than 30 swimmers. The ladies race was cancelled. I had a great swim the same day and it remains one of my favourite ever races.

I can’t cope when the contestants don’t win the breakfast show bowl on @TodayFM @IanDempsey
If I know the answer and know that they’re getting it wrong I turn off the radio

Noel McGrath.
Nicky English.
My two all-time favourite Tipp hurlers.
This is Nicky talking (rhapsodising) about Noel.
Love and admiration bursting from an old soldier.
Genius recognising genius.
Glorious stuff.

Great night in @opwireland Ormond Castle #CarrickOnSuir for #CultureNight last night and I even met a famous twitter woman @JulieWard_
A measure of how much a #boxing city #Belfast is, got an Uber to Windsor Park for the fights last night and the driver was an ex-boxer who had a pro record of 21-3 and 2 of the losses were to lads who went on to become world champions. #CrockerDonovan2 @KevByrneBox @GavanCasey
