Hi to everyone seeing this. This is Féile, she is 13 and had a life altering farming accident last July. She is very courageous and in great spirits. Her friends and family are raising money for her through
1. Golf Outing on 16th/17th/18th of April which is sold out( but I believe hole sponsorship and raffle prizes are still available)
2. A school jersey day, Friday March 20th, where kids wear their favourite jersey to school and donate 1 or 2 euro. They are really hoping for schools everywhere to participate in this.
If you’d like to support this great cause particularly by getting your school to join the Jersey Day on March 20th. Follow the Link below or just go to https://t.co/HfxB7jZTHF.

This woman - who was in the audience at the BAFTAs on Sunday evening - takes a fair and compassionate stance on the guest with Tourette's shouting a racial slur at two black actors.
She provides important context: the audience had been briefed about John Davidson’s Tourette’s and his vocal tics had already been evident earlier in the evening.
She also articulates something we don’t hear often enough.
Words can cause discomfort. They can hurt. And they can do so for many reasons. But that alone does not make someone “wrong” or prove ill intent. Nor does it justify destroying someone’s reputation.
Sometimes we have to hold two truths at once - that harm can be felt and that intent and context still matter.
And sometimes we have to set aside our own feelings and consider the needs and vulnerabilities of others.
A principle worth remembering in many areas of public life.
We caught up with the Carlisle United forward Hugh Parker this week to discuss his move from Ireland to England, adapting at Hull City and his loan switch to Cumbria. Watch him here👇
