Lakers and other good stuff. But mostly dad, grandad, writer, weekly opinioniser with the Irish Examiner (the best!). Loves people, politics, & a good argument.

Mandy is even more famous now! https://t.co/BsPCHlRx0l. Look who’s supporting her as she goes global. Three weeks in to her Million Steps for Lakers, according to Fitbit Mandy has now completed 272,279 steps. Please join in. https://t.co/quSFGfSpzp

Way to go Mandy! Keep up the good work, walking a million steps for the Lakers Sports and Recreation fundraiser! https://t.co/5Vl3h0QgS6

@EwanMacKenna Hopefully we’ll still disagree about everything under the sun for another 20 years. (I’ll be 95 then and disagreeing with nobody.)

[Fergus Finlay @fergusfinlay]

@DavQuinn Why is that an important question?

[Fergus Finlay @fergusfinlay]

@EwanMacKenna Really sorry to hear that. I hope you get good and effective treatment and that recovery is speedy.

Here’s an article I’ve written about the Presidency. Free to read in the Irish Examiner.

In all sorts of ways Joe Duffy is a decent human being. And he is one of the best radio broadcasters we’ve ever had. He can give you the pip from time to time, but over the years he has given a voice to thousands of people who wouldn’t ever be heard otherwise. He’ll be missed!

@philipnolan1 Get well soon Philip

That Masters may never be remembered for the quality of the golf. But it will never be forgotten for the drama and the emotional pull. Rory McIlroy did it the hard way, under the most intense pressure imaginable. Perhaps now the greatest Irish sportsperson ever.

So a convicted sex offender invites a convicted sex offender to the White House. Disgusting, not surprising.

@AkaPaulHoward It’s the seventh circle of hell.

[Fergus Finlay @fergusfinlay]

Well, that was something!

[Fergus Finlay @fergusfinlay]

@DavQuinn @futz80 I really can’t read any more of this dishonest and hypocritical cant, Mr Quinn.

@LalorMaher33771 @TonightVMTV As someone who has spent 50 years fighting for people with disabilities I don’t agree.

[Fergus Finlay @fergusfinlay]

@LalorMaher33771 @TonightVMTV You clearly didn’t watch the programme!

I am horrified to discover that I love some of the same music as Donald Trump appears to.

Sad to hear of the death of Mary O’Rourke. You didn’t have to agree with her to recognise a person of character and integrity. And considerable decency.

US must choose between a politics of empathy and a politics of hate. From today’s Irish Examiner https://t.co/PFQqJIvMxO
