Bhí brón orm bás Manchán Magan a chloisteáil. Ba mhór-abhcóide é ar son na Gaeilge agus rinne sé go leor clár teilifíse iontach.
Cuirim mo chomhbhrón in iúl dá dheartháir Ruán agus dá chlann ar fad.

Great news from my colleague Minister Dara Calleary this morning with the announcement of the Community Recognition Funds.
Among the projects being funded today include:
I’m getting regular updates from the Gardaí in respect of the shooting incident in Carlow.
I understand Gardaí have the situation under control and the area is now safe. We must now allow the Gardaí to investigate this matter fully.
Today, Ministers @naomi_long and @OCallaghanJim met in Dublin to review progress across areas of North-South cooperation, including Youth Justice, Victims’ Support, Public Protection, Forensic Science, Criminal Justice and Social Diversity.

At yesterday’s South East Area Committee, I pushed for 24/7 public toilets near key spots like Portobello Square and the Barge Pub.
Also delighted the 2025 Road Maintenance Services Work Programme was agreed!
As Minister for Justice, I convey my deepest sympathy and condolences to the parents, family and friends of Garda Flatley and indeed to the whole family of An Garda Síochána.
