RTÉ must immediately end their ‘geo-blocking’ and stop treating northern citizens with contempt.
Katie Taylor is an inspiration to many across Ireland, and they rightly want to watch her final fight in the historic Croke Park on Saturday 🇮🇪
Twenty-eight years of peace on the Garvaghy Road is not a problem requiring a solution.
It’s progress that needs protected.
Political unionism will not be allowed to drag our society backwards.

Margaret McConville lost her big son Thomas at the Gaeltacht in Donegal. He was drowned, aged 16. There was an inquest into his death and this is what she said.
One of the best, and strongest human beings, I’ve ever met❤️
Building a new & united Ireland is about taking control of our own affairs & making decisions in the best interests of the people who live here.
I want to see properly funded public services & a future where young people don’t feel they have to leave these shores in search of better opportunities.
A future built on hope & prosperity for everyone who calls this island home, free from Westminster’s neglect.
This is the greatest thing ever to happen to Belfast - so proud to be part of it.
Get out there and enjoy every moment folks. The Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is for everyone! 🎻
For 8+ years, every trip to the Freeman Hospital included a visit to the @alanshearer statue.
This was the only time we didn’t go because the call had finally come for Dáithí’s heart transplant.
Here he is now, post transplant, and scoring a penalty at Paddy Freeman’s Park.❤️⚽️
If you’re looking a 2 minute description, on what the GAA really means, Ciara Mageean and her experience of All-Ireland final day hits home. She’s the best of us.

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.
