Travel on well you greatest of all time. What a wonderful musician and person.
RIP Donal Lunny. I was lucky to have met him a few times and to see him play live. I took this video in the @RTEArena studio on 29 Nov 2018. A great man.

Orla O’Donnell completely destroyed Jim O’Callaghan’s smear about solicitors targeting rape cases in the Central Criminal Court yesterday on @morningireland. It’s outrageous that the Minister is engaging in cynical tactics such as this instead of sitting down to negotiate.

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

"Carney saved the speech," one EPP lawmaker texts me.
"Without the ‘guests’ in her speech, it was a long technocratic list of announcements. Many of which we know will never see the day of light. I haven't seen such a low energy speech since Barroso."

Dolly Parton on supporting the LGBTQ+ community (2016): “I do not believe we should criticize and judge other people. If you’re the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? I just think we should be more loving, more caring. We are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight. You should be allowed to be how you are and who you are”

We couldn’t leave Dublin without paying tribute to Patrick O’Connell, the manager who led Betis to the Club’s historic LaLiga title in 1935.

Thanks very much to @RacingTV and @irishkor for helping to promote the Pat Smullen Race Day in aid of @cancertrials_ie with an interview last night @RoscommonRaces.
Worth listening to @francescrowley who spoke so well about the latest developments with pancreatic cancer.

La Storia del Milan è in lacrime per la scomparsa di Franco Baresi. Il suo esempio e la sua profondità saranno, per sempre come la sua maglia numero 6, parte integrante e fondamentale del DNA e del cammino di tutto il Club. Le condoglianze che AC Milan porge alla famiglia tutta di Franco Baresi sono le stesse che ogni tifoso rossonero fa a sé stesso in un'ora così dura.
The entire history of AC Milan is in tears following the passing of Franco Baresi. His example and integrity will be forever etched into the Club's DNA, just as his iconic number 6 shirt is. The condolences AC Milan extends to Franco Baresi's family at such a difficult time are shared by every Rossonero, who feels this loss as their own.

I express my solidarity with Spain in the current situation of illegal migration in Ceuta.
While third-country nationals in Ceuta do not enjoy free movement to mainland Spain or the rest of the Schengen area, Spain’s firm response, including ongoing accelerated returns, demonstrates our determination to protect our external borders, combat illegal migration, and dismantle criminal smuggling networks.
I welcome Spain’s close cooperation with Morocco in addressing this shared challenge and ensuring swift returns.
We will remain in close contact with the Spanish authorities in the coming days.
