A friend and shipmate Donie Goulding has suffered a terrible accident in Spain. He is in a coma in a critical condition.
If anyone here would consider supporting his @naval_service comrades efforts to enable his family to be by his hospital bed please do:

Delighted to see Ireland leading the way on education, with over 52% of adults aged 25–64 having a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Investment in education has been the key foundation stone for societal and economic development in Ireland.

A beautiful evening at Dromineer, Co. Tipperary 🦢☀️

I’m here in New York City where I’ve seen so much that is great about Irish-America.

Conor McGregor is not in the US representing Ireland, he doesn’t speak for Ireland, or its people.

Quick update at 5:25am Friday as #StormÉowyn sets new all time records and the worst is still to come for many areas.

French singer-songwriter Charles Dumont has died at the age of 95. 68 years ago he wrote what would become an Edith Piaf classic: Non, je ne regrette rien.

Symphony Of Lungs - BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall is out today. So much hard work went into this concert and it’s an honour to have worked with some amazing people on this. Thanks to everyone involved, and thank you to @florencemachine inviting us into your beautiful world.

Two of Ireland's greatest talents, both sadly missed 🤍

My favourite Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh quotes:

"Seán Óg Ó hAilpín. His father's from Fermanagh. His mother's from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold."

"The stopwatch has stopped. It’s up to God and the referee now. The referee is Pat Horan. God is God."

"Teddy McCarthy to John McCarthy, no relation. John McCarthy to Teddy McCarthy, still no relation."

"Anthony Lynch, the Cork corner-back, will be the last person to let you down. His people are undertakers."

"1.5 to 0.8 - well, from Lapland to the Antarctic, that’s level scores in any man’s language."

"I saw a few Sligo people at Mass in Gardiner Street this morning and the omens seem to be good for them. The priest was wearing the same colours as the Sligo jersey. 40 yards out on the Hogan Stand side of the field, Ciarán Whelan goes on a rampage, and it’s a goal. So much for religion!"

"Pat Fox out to the 40 and grabs the sliotar. I bought a dog from his father last week. Fox turns and sprints for goal. The dog ran a great race last Tuesday in Limerick. Fox to the 21, fires a shot, it goes to the left and wide. And the dog lost as well."

"He grabs the sliothar. He's on the 50. He's on the 40. He's on the 30. He's on the ground."

"Colin Corkery on the 45 lets it go with the right boot. It's over the bar. This man shouldn’t be playing football. He’s made an almost Lazarus-like recovery from a heart condition. Lazarus was a great man, but he couldn’t kick points like Colin Corkery."

"Pat Fox has it on his hurl and is motoring well now, but here comes Joe Rabbitte hot on his tail. I’ve seen it all now, a Rabbitte chasing a Fox around Croke Park."

"He’s not a big man, he’s not a small man, he’s what you might call a handyman."

"Brian Dooher is down injured. And while he is, I’ll tell you a little story. I was in Times Square in New York last week, and I was missing the Championship back home. So I approached a newsstand, and I said, 'I suppose ye wouldn’t have The Kerryman, would ya?' To which, the Egyptian behind the counter turned to me, and he said, 'Do you want the North Kerry edition or the South Kerry edition?' He had both so I bought both. And Dooher is back on his feet."
