You do not have to suffer in silence. Many incidents of domestic abuse still go unreported. Take the first steps and phone the 24-hour Domestic and Sexual Abuse Helpline on 0808 802 1414 to get help.

History says, don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

Tonight, I looked back at the building I’m privileged to work in & was reminded it’s #SaintPatricksDay ☘️This year, Solidarity with all our friends across the globe - tough days ahead for so many countries. I’ve never seen such unity of purpose in #Ireland, proud of who we are.

The books stood open and the gates unbarred.
Begin again where frosts and tests were hard.
Find yourself or founder.

.@BorisJohnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?

Bríd Rodgers on John Hume: "it was not about a line on a map; it was about a line between people's hearts, about respecting unionists and nationalists - here was someone saying things that had never been said before." #civilrights50

Daily reminder about one of my heroes: Ivan Cooper, civil rights activist.

He entered politics at a time of conflict, as he believed Protestant+Catholic working classes could be united. He believed by focusing on class issues which affected both, sectarianism could be overcome.

Sinn Féin MP Barry McElduff chose to post a light-hearted video by putting something on his head:
Of the thousands of items in a shop, he chose bread;
Of all bread brands, he chose Kingsmills;
Of all days to do it, it was the anniversary of the Kingsmills Massacre.
What odds?

2018 marks the centenary of women’s right to vote in Ireland. The women who fought for that right are being celebrated at the GPO to mark #NollaigNaMBan @rtenews via @petulamartyn

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

If there’s fire on the mountain
And lightning and storm
And a god speaks from the sky
That means someone is hearing
The outcry and the birth-cry
Of new life at its term.
It means once in a lifetime
That justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.

Spotted in today's Irish News!

A wonderful launch yesterday in Belfast which left us inspired and motivated. 💪🏻

...And a softness came from the starlight and filled me full to the bone.

The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves
Fell like faint meteors in the gloom...
