Jessie Buckley wins the Oscar - Best Actress. History is made.

Tudor @SpursOfficial has no right to say he won’t talk about tonight’s implosion in Madrid. I have been following this club all my life, that’s not what us fans deserve.

[Bernadette Prendergast @bpgbfm]

A heavy heart for this lifelong through thick and thin fan @SpursOfficial - the club needs to look at every single aspect of its operations. Please. It’s in freefall.

In a wide ranging speech with the strong role of radio in Irish culture and society at its core, An Taoiseach quipped ‘if you listen to a match on radio and then see it on TV that night it doesn’t seem half as exciting’ - the magic of radio #100yearsofradio #ucc

So sad to hear of the death of well known journalist and broadcaster, Paddy Clancy.
We traded many yarns for the redtops over the years. He assigned me many weird and wonderful tasks when I was ‘young and needed the money.’ May he rest in peace.

[Bernadette Prendergast @bpgbfm]

One of the very best. He was my News Editor at Century Radio and I use what I learned from him every day I’m on the job. The quintessential journalist who had a breadth of knowledge across all disciplines. His legacy will live on in all journalists lucky enough to work with him.
