"Give us our future, we've had enough of your past. Give us our country to live in, to grow in, to love" - Michael Collins

#onthisday Irish patriot Michael Collins was born. He'd be 130 years old. Our youngest ever government Minister, leader of the government (as President of the Executive) and head of the army in 1922. #todayinhistory#irishhistory
We move to phase 3 on Mon 29th June. Very low levels of #COVID19. What worries me most now is travel from overseas and I fear many planning foreign trips. 2020 is a year for a staycation. Stay in Ireland, spend locally and follow public health advice. @roinnslainte@HSELive
I spent a lot of time in the graveyards of Sydney & Melbourne visiting Irish graves. Irish epitaphs engraved without translation is normal, beautiful and respectful.
Condolences to the family of Margaret Keane of Coventry caught up in this uneducated political nonsense.
Really important information. A contact number for every county in Ireland to support older people and vulnerable people during this difficult #Covid19 time. Please retweet and share widely. No one will be left alone. We all must help each other #coronavirus
A moment's reprieve during a pandemic.

The next 7 days are vital. Now is the time to #FlattenTheCurve.
Every one of us must play our part;
1. Reduce your social contacts – see only a handful of people in your network
2. Distance yourself 2 metres from people in shops & supermarkets

#OnThisDay 1948, President Seán T. O'Kelly signed the Republic of Ireland Bill.
The Bill, formally ending the statutory role of the British monarchy in Ireland, came into force in April 1949.
On The History Show this evening - ‘War in The Shadows.’ An in-depth look at the Intelligence War during the Irish War of Independence, and how Collins cultivated a network of moles and informers in key areas of the British administration.
A huge thank you to the #crosscycle team for dropping in on their nationwide cycle for #CancerResearch. Continued best wishes on a great initiative and we look forward to seeing you again next year! @Gordonwdarcy @finbarwalsh
Glorious day in Letterkenny for the Ministerial Review of the 114th Inf Bn. The unit, drawn mainly from the 28th Bn, Finner Camp, Donegal, will deploy to South Lebanon in the coming weeks. @DonegalNowNews @DonegalNowNews @dgldemocrat#óglaighnahéireann#strengthenthenation
