Delighted to see some flexibility & common sense with RTE News Now channel stepping in to show Clare v Tipp hurling match on Sunday. It’s a big day in the provincial hurling championships with all still to play for & it’s great to see 3 hurling matches on RTE channels
What a game of hurling in @PaircUiCha0imh tonight. Fantastic win for @OfficialCorkGAA . Unbelievable spectacle & atmosphere for those of us lucky enough to be here but not good enough that this game was behind a paywall @GAAGO @RTEsport
It’s quite simply not fair to Cork GAA fans that their first 3 Munster SHC games will only be available on the GAAGO subscription platform & it’s possible that all 4 Cork games could be pay per view. It's time for the Cork County Board to speak up on behalf of their supporters.
Good insights from the panel & excellent discussion with members at the ‘Stronger, Safer Communities’ session today at the @FineGael Special Conference. Thanks to panellists @HMcEntee@SimonHarrisTD@Bridinmurphy_ & Sinéad Donnelly #FGSC
After a tough few days for Cork, it was nice to see the smiles at the unveiling of the Michael Collins statue on Grand Parade today. Who better than Cork legends JBM, ROG & Rena Buckley to unveil The Big Fella on the week of his birthday 👏👏
A nation holds its breath.
I'll be watching tonight's @rugbyworldcup quarter final in Bandon - where Jack Crowley started his rugby career - with my good friend @voteTimLombard & @cswfinegael
We are all so proud of @irishrugby - let’s go make history tonight! C’mon Ireland!
As an advocate for dyslexia, I welcome the removal of 9% VAT on ebooks & audio books in #Budget2024
Many children, young people & adults with dyslexia benefit greatly from audio & ebooks. This is a small but important measure @DyslexiaIreland
@paddydugganj The stat that jumps out at me in that really good article is that 84% of 8-12 year olds in Ireland have their own social media accounts!! I’m shocked & it’s only a few years since I had someone in that age bracket.
School Transport Temporary Alleviation Measure was introduced as a positive step to address the shortcomings around eligibility criteria. In practice though, it is not being applied to all pupils who meet the criteria. I asked for clarity on how TAMs are applied yesterday.
Finally clarification & confirmation from the Minister at this mornings meeting of the Ag Committee that derogation farmers in the areas in white which passed the criteria set by the EU Commission will retain 250 derogation
Fair play to @SouthernStarIRL for highlighting the issues around smartphones & primary school children.
Good info for parents in my Digital Safety leaflet available from my office

A simple & reflective ceremony tonight on the 101st anniversary of the death of Michael Collins at Sams Cross. Thank you to the commemoration committee & to The Four Alls for the hospitality
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏...😍
Great to see former Munster players Elaine and Tony Buckley, Rosemary Dillon, Fiona Steed, John Hayes and Dominic Crotty with daughters Ella, Grace, Sally and Niamh who represented Munster U18 today 🤩🚩

Ah now, all Oireachtas members can attend Committee & contribute. Fair play to @stevensgreen1 for doing just that & for his contribution. No @SocDems member turned up to engage with @EPAIreland & @IFAmedia on the most pressing issue facing farming families. Says it all really.
