I was delighted to recently visit the Joyce Museum located at LETS, Museo della Letteratura in Trieste. Joyce arrived to this impressive adriatic city in Oct 1904. I reached Trieste after walking the #AlpeAdria trail; Austria, Slovenia & into Italy.
Moved to see our @PresidentIRL, who has done so much to advance Irish arts, honour my mother, Éilís Ní Dhuibhne, as @LaureateFiction. Thrilled to see my brother & his son accompanying her at the Áras - I can see my papa’s pride in both their smiles.
Trócaire condemns the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and several of his colleagues in an apparent targeted attack by Israel in Gaza.
We reiterate: journalism is not a crime, and journalists are not targets. Stop the genocide now.

I was delighted to present this week @CelticStudents’ Conference which ends this afternoon @AberUni. The paper was about the Ritual of Churching in Ireland. The research was undertaken as part of my recent MA in Irish Studies @UCDScoilGLCB
Today, President Michael D Higgins and I unveiled my portrait of him at the University of Galway. This was to mark the donation of the Presidential Archive of President Michael D. Higgins, as well as books from his personal book collection, to the University.
Rachael Blackmore is the greatest female jockey the world has ever seen. We can only consider ourselves lucky to have witnessed her achievements in our lifetime.
She didn’t just break glass ceilings - she painted the whole damn sky ✨
The Masters is one of the greatest weeks in golf. I was so disappointed with my performance Sunday but I gave it everything and that’s all I can ask for.
I’ve never been happier to watch someone else achieve something that I want so badly myself. Rory deserves every bit of this and I was so happy to be there to watch him make history. 💚☘️
