Difference is an accident of birth.
Difference is of the essence of humanity.
Respect for difference is the first and deepest principle of real peace.
Today, on John Hume’s 4th anniversary, his core belief is more important than ever.
"Even if they didn't always understand me, my family knew the life-saving power of fanning the flame of a young person's passions without judgment. I walk through life with an open heart because you let me know that I could."

Ciara Mageean gives her reaction to @DavidGillick after winning GOLD 🥇 in the women's 1500m Final at the European Athletics Championships☘️ #Roma2024
🇮🇪 Seven days ago Fionnuala McCormack ran 2:26:19 in the Valencia Marathon to qualify for her 5th Olympics.
Today in Brussels the former two-time Euro XC winner and 39-year-old mum-of-three finished 4th in her 18th appearance for Ireland at these champs.
Ciara Mageean. What a role model.
A star on and off the track. Speaking to Athletics Ireland after her 4th place finish at the Worlds, she was disapointed not to medal & raise the Irish flag which she treasures so much but was proud fo what she had acheived.
Legend. 🇮🇪

They have no recourse to public funds until their asylum application is granted, which often takes years.
They live on about £37 per week.
