It's literally the furthest thing from an outburst 🤣

Ray D’Arcy’s parting outburst atypical of broadcaster who shunned the limelight

A born collaborator, D’Arcy was most comfortable bouncing off his crew, guests or listeners, and never basked in stardom

That's it! I've been mostly on the north until now and when I walk over it feels like stepping back in time and there's a quietness

Devastated for Fr McVerry. When I was a teenager, he had a 3 bed flat in Ballymun, 'the hedges' for young men/teens who couldn't live at home. He has always devoted his life to this. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/hous...

Gardaí begin criminal investigation into Peter McVerry Trust

Investigation began in September following evaluation by Garda National Economic Crime Bureau

Front row, cool colleagues, ex Irish president, tv/radio stars... and the most phenomenal play I have seen EVER. Many Ballymun lives flashed through my head from Ballymun especially those not with us. Poor is honest, funny, and heart-wrenching sad #spéirgorm

I'm going to leave my room 10 minutes earlier than I need to tomorrow and pause there!

I know. I was talking about it in the office this morning. It's just nasty. Trying to cover it up with extending means testing for carers.

Dr. Orla M @orlanimh.bsky.social · 9d

Phenomenal! I was sitting front row. The most emotional play I have ever seen. I don't know how they captured it all so stunningly on stage! I'm seeing it twice more. It closes at 2pm on a Sunday so will be able to get a photo with her outside the gate!

I have a feeling my pelvis has twisted again and I also think I may have bone spurs. An mri showed them lower back left side so qould make sense if they are up further too! Think I will have to cave and see the doc!

Isn't it!!! This is the painting beside it!

Very black painting with small bits of grey/white

O am loving staying on the South Campus once a week! So many places and walks I haven't seen yet! Find something new to catch my breath each week!

I feel so privileged to be going to the opening night of Poor (by Katriona O'Sullivan). Have my tissues packed! #speirgorm #spéirgorm

The stage at the Gate Theatre with POOR written on a screen.

Wow... this window stopped me in my tracks today! 😍 #maynooth #MaynoothCampus #speirgorm #spéirgorm #spéirghorm

An old long window inside Maynooth South Campus. Two plants right front on a ledge and greenery, like indoor ivy around the inside of window.

I've been okay. Struggling with some back pain, muscles not coping too good with the combination of being at a desk and then the weight loss! Just trying to catch myself a break in it. Going to see Poor tomorrow with work, can't wait to see it, but know I will bawl!

People shouldn't have to beg and go through weeks of a process. The stress of it on top of the stress of being unable to pay bills. To have every cent scrutinised and judged.

That scheme is horrific! So people will freeze and go hungry this winter :(

It really is! It's right back to start from "everyone is lying", like with how people applying for disability etc are treated!
