Dublin Deputy Mayor Donna Cooney on litter duty along Clontarf seafront.

How many metropolitan Deputy Mayors can be found picking litter on a Saturday morning? I often spot @donnacooney1.bsky.social cleaning Clontarf seafront in her Tidy Towns top and @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social bag on weekends. Credit where it’s due!

The wonderful Bronagh Cahill plays Massenet’s Thais with the @rteco.rte.ie under the passionate baton of Stephen Bell at The Helix on @dublincityuni.bsky.social
campus tonight.

Leader of the @rteco.rte.ie Mia Cooper plays wonderfully for the amazing Celine Byrne at the National Concert Hall in tonight’s Hamilton Scores presented by @rte.ie LyricFM’s George Hamilton….

I’m told that some of the rock armour on the sea side of the greenway had been dismantled. This would have made the greenway vulnerable from underneath, which is why the greenway was closed. That’s understandable.

I can’t see why the seafront greenway has been blocked as there is no construction on the cycle lane or pedestrian lane. The initial fencing around the construction site left the greenway clear…

Martin Molony & Katy Anna Mohan at Google European headquarters.

One of the pleasures of my job is in watching my former @dublincityuni.bsky.social students blossom and build on their university experience. Delighted to catch up today with Katy Anna Mohan at Google, where she is Principal International Growth Consultant.

If Carlsberg did museums…

Thank you very much, Derek. That’s very kind of you.

DCU Chancellor Brid Horan, PhD graduate Martin G Molony, and DCU President Daire Keogh with ventriloquist doll and hand puppet at DCU graduation on 28 March 2025.

This is the kind of @dublincityuni.bsky.social PhD graduation photograph you get when your topic is about three centuries of the impact and significance of the puppet theatre in Ireland!
Thanks to Brid Horan and @dairekeogh.bsky.social for humouring me and to Kyran O'Brien for capturing the moment.

Wonderful marionette performance from Prof John & Clodagh McCormick at the Quaker Meeting House in Monkstown tonight - in aid of Tiglin.
