A brief tiny memory about Manchán Magan, who passed away yesterday.
I guested on a series he did 20 years ago, and he noted that I had dropped the “fada” (the accent/diacritic) over the O in my name, which I had replaced with a capital O, just for ease of understanding in the UK. “Put it back” he said, “It should be there, proudly”
And ever since, yes, the fada has been back on the O on every poster and tour. Here it is, outside the Swansea Arena last night. That’s Manchán’s doing.
On @RTENationwide, life-saving work from the Dillon Quirke Foundation, inspired by the late Dillon Quirke. We meet Dan, Dillon’s father, Tipp captain, Ronan Maher, Craig Morgan teammate & Tom Quilter from Fenit. @TipperaryGAA #cardiacscreening
Churchill teenager Tom Quilter’s life was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with a heart condition and told that he would immediately have to give up the thing he loved doing most – playing sports.

Garron is a decent good guy with a good heart. He was very reasoned & articulate & we need reasoned articulate conversations. What they did was vile vicious & unaccpetable. I really hope he’s ok. #GarronNoone#garronnooneisstilldelicious#Garron#istandwithgarron
Vincent Browne is a national treasure who held politicians to account in his own unique way when his show was on TV3 📺 🔥
