Constantly saying things that are easily misconstrued, for a brunette I have a lot of blonde moments. I like to hashtag! #macra #teacher #friends

Sunday is #WorldDownSyndromeDay, which celebrates the lives of people with the condition. Down Syndrome causes people to be born with an extra DNA molecule, which can affect physical and intellectual growth. @moscannail visited a school in County Kildare to celebrate the day.

@OdileEvans @MacranaFeirme @fbd_ie Rang up re my renewal. They asked if I was still a Macra member, gave my m/ship number and Laura in the Portlaoise Office told me what the discount was!

Being kind and polite won’t make every thing right. But it’s a good place to start.

Tony Holohan is a patriot, an incredible public servant & a doctor who has saved thousands of lives through his leadership. He has kept us safe. I valued his counsel as Minister so much. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us. We think of them & respect their privacy

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

[The Blindboy Podcast @bbboatclub]

You know what breaks my heart? The majority of people I see wearing facemasks in shops are elderly, at risk, people. Trying their best to stay safe. And if I'm not wearing my mask too, then they're not protected. Their mask & their effort is for nothing

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

Ivan Yates, on a state pension of €1,500 per week, from the ripe old age of 42, for 18 years already, which he protected from his creditors during bankruptcy, complains about unemployed part time workers being paid €350 a week for a few months.

High Court has ruled Gemma O'Doherty and John Waters must pay the State and Oireachtas' legal costs of opposing their failed bid for permission to challenge the Covid-19 emergency laws. Costs relate to a two day hearing last month.
