@ESBNetworks @GAELTEC_IRELAND @WaterfordCounci New poles installed at Bilberry/Gracedieu East in Waterford yest. Road left in appalling condition. Serious health & safety issue with the amount of muck left on the road, both to vehicles & pedestrians. No road sweeper!

Thank you for reminding us of his wonderful turn of phrase.

[Daniel Hussey @DanielHussey2]

My favourite Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh quotes:

"Seán Óg Ó hAilpín. His father's from Fermanagh. His mother's from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold."

"The stopwatch has stopped. It’s up to God and the referee now. The referee is Pat Horan. God is God."

"Teddy McCarthy to John McCarthy, no relation. John McCarthy to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation."

"Anthony Lynch, the Cork corner-back, will be the last person to let you down. His people are undertakers."

"1.5 to 0.8 - well, from Lapland to the Antarctic, that’s level scores in any man’s language."

"I saw a few Sligo people at Mass in Gardiner Street this morning and the omens seem to be good for them. The priest was wearing the same colours as the Sligo jersey. 40 yards out on the Hogan Stand side of the field, Ciarán Whelan goes on a rampage, and it’s a goal. So much for religion!"

"Pat Fox out to the 40 and grabs the sliotar. I bought a dog from his father last week. Fox turns and sprints for goal. The dog ran a great race last Tuesday in Limerick. Fox to the 21, fires a shot, it goes to the left and wide. And the dog lost as well."

"He grabs the sliothar. He's on the 50. He's on the 40. He's on the 30. He's on the ground."

"Colin Corkery on the 45 lets it go with the right boot. It's over the bar. This man shouldn’t be playing football. He’s made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man, but he couldn’t kick points like Colin Corkery."

"Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now, but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail. I’ve seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park."

"He’s not a big man, he’s not a small man, he’s what you might call a handyman."

"Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, I’ll tell you a little story. I was in Times Square in New York last week, and I was missing the Championship back home. So I approached a newsstand, and I said, 'I suppose ye wouldn’t have The Kerryman, would ya?' To which, the Egyptian behind the counter turned to me, and he said, 'Do you want the North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?' He had both so I bought both. And Dooher is back on his feet."

Never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone !

Good things rarely come easy in life, and success certainly doesn’t arise if you’re too afraid to seize an opportunity by trying something new.

So the next time you’re presented with an opportunity ripe for the plucking make sure to grasp it with both hands – it might just be the thing that turns your dream into a reality !

[Theo Paphitis @TheoPaphitis]

As we edge ever closer to the New Year, it’s vital that we remember to treat it as an opportunity to go again, but this time, armed to the teeth with the learnings from the year just passed, ready to seize any opportunities that come your way !

Your destiny is in your hands, so it’s up to you and only you to capitalise on the opportunities ripe for the plucking - regardless of the form they are presented to you in - through your grit, determination and tenacity !

[The Dalbo Dog @Dalbodog]

WHEN I AM OLD When I am old... I will wear soft gray sweatshirts... and a bandana over my silver hair... and I will spend my social security checks on my dogs. I will sit in my house on my well-worn chair and listen to my dogs breathing.

I will sneak out in the middle of a warm summer night and take my dogs for a run, if my old bones will allow... When people come to call, I will smile and nod as I show them my dogs... and talk of them and about them...

the ones so beloved of the past and the ones so beloved of today... I will still work hard cleaning after them, mopping and feeding them and whispering their names in a soft loving way. I will wear the gleaming sweat on my throat, like a jewel, and I will be an embarrassment to all... especially my family...

who have not yet found the peace in being free to have dogs as your best friends... These friends who always wait, at any hour, for your footfall... and eagerly jump to their feet out of a sound sleep, to greet you as if you are a God, with warm eyes full of adoring love and hope that you will always stay,

I'll hug their big strong necks... I'll kiss their dear sweet heads... and whisper in their very special company... I look in the mirror...

and see I am getting old... this is the kind of person I am... and have always been. Loving dogs is easy, they are part of me. Please accept me for who I am. My dogs appreciate my presence in their lives...

they love my presence in their lives... When I am old this will be important to me... you will understand when you are old, if you have dogs to love too. ❤️🐾
