I haven’t been writing much this last year. I’m pining for the words, the well of concentration, the deep dip of quiet.

Persuading myself I am good enough to try again this weekend by reading my Irish Times publication in 2017...

Oh, the self-doubt.

While on patrol of the M50 at Blanchardstown, this van was seen swerving in and out of lane 3.

Driver was talking on a phone using his right hand while scrolling through a second phone using his left hand and the van was being steered by his knees during rush hour traffic.

Absolutely loved tonight’s episode of Culture Club with @cooper_m on @lstwrd, with @williewhite from @DubTheatreFest. Interesting perspective on music and theatre. Unstuffy. Great listening switch-off in this slot every Wednesday.

Next Sunday the All-Ireland hurling final will be on the BBC for the first time. It’s Cork vs Clare, a cracker of match in front of 82,400 screaming fans at Croke Park, for the highlight of the Irish sporting year. If you’ve never seen Hurling, here is a quick explainer…

…and I am so sad now this evening at his loss.

[Sarah O'Connor @sorchaoconnor]

I saw this news this evening and couldn’t quite catch my breath. In recent years, Justin worked as a coach, offering time, space, expertise and validation for many in the not-for-profit sector. He supported me as CEO of @AsthmaIreland as I made some of our hardest decisions.

Trócaire mourns the loss of former Executive Director Justin Kilcullen

Justin joined Trócaire in 1981 before serving as Executive Director from 1993 until his retirement in 2013.

We will remember Justin as a passionate, vocal and hugely committed advocate for justice.

We extend our condolences to Justin's family and many friends at this difficult time.

[Sarah O'Connor @sorchaoconnor]

He was an observer of people, a lover of problems, a realist, a planner and, still, a dreamer. I looked forward to the drive to and from, the thinking, the settling of thoughts after our conversations, and the loveliness of his confidence. He was a good man, a family person.
