Today in my family we pay tribute to my grand uncle Michael O Connell who perished on 3rd November 1940. He was aboard The Laurentic a merchant ship which was hit by a German torpedo while going to the aid of SS Casanare off the coast of Donegal

So sad to hear but Patricia Routledge left such a lovely parting gift in this poem selfdiscoverywisdom.com/2025/08/08/a...

How disappointing is this! So many dedicated fans from both #Cork and #Tipperary who would give anything to be in Croke Park today.

A sea of red @crokepark.bsky.social for All Ireland Hurling Final today. Come on #Cork. Thinking of John Mullins who was so looking forward to this day. #hurling

just watched the @rte.ie documentary Christy Ring Man and Ball. What a legend of the game of hurling.

Wonderful to be in the National Rowing Centre for the Irish Rowing Championships and to celebrate 50 years since the first Irish women’s team competed at the World Rowing Championships.

My chariot awaits. Thankfully flight to #Cork is going ahead from #Paris. Looking forward to #WestCork by 9pm!!

That is just a lovely idea. I must say I loved the pianist playing at St Pancras London this week at 4.30am. He cheered up the bleary eyed travellers to #Paris no end.

Charlie Mackesy put it so beautifully in his book - The Boy, The Mole The Fox and The Horse. An inspirational book for all

"A funny, inventive, irrepressible exhibition about the meaning of care" The Irish Times, May 2025
Thank you @irishtimes.com for the wonderful review of Labour of Love: Economies of care in contemporary art.
Labour of Love is running on now until 6 July 2025.

according to my 12 year old niece whose playing now they are still like brillo paper Deirdre. Cannot believe in this day and age such ridiculous rules exist.

We need to have a reality check on how exposed we currently are. leaders in security and defence have been highlighting Ireland as the weak link in Europe for decades. Neutrality is one thing but your ability to protect our democracy from terrorism is another matter.

I watched an episode the other night for old time sake and they were coming to #Cork to retrieve a cargo from a ship that had been forced to dock in the harbour.

The final touches. #TempletonGarden #London opens this morning. our incredible designer James Hurst completing the last minute touches.

Our first #Swallow arrived back this morning. He is one of the late batch from last year. So small and has made the incredible journey back to us. What amazing creatures they are. #birdmigration
