I am so proud of my niece and her Donegal team, who won their all Ireland shield final in Kilkenny on Sunday, beating Limerick 2-0. She even got joint player of the match. #Speirgorm

This week, I've been in beautiful Dubrovnik for a much needed break. If you're a Game of Thrones fan, you're in for a treat.

Last week, I spoke at the Sharing the Vision mental health conference in Dublin Castle. It was a privilege to be part of the panel discussion on lived experience. #MentalHealth

Today, I organised a wellbeing day for the U12s I coach at Dunfanaghy Youths. We had some icebreaker games, yoga, talks from the FAI on nutrition, recovery, and staying in sport and finished up the day with a few matches and a penalty shootout. Good for body, good for mind.

The last two pups of the litter. The brown goes to a good home on Saturday. We're keeping the other one. Any name suggestions?

My niece was a mascot this time last year for the Irish team. She met Stephen Kenny and likes to think they're mates 😆 Even she thinks he has to go.

Was delighted to see this on Facebook a few days ago and made contact with the poster. This was my granny and granddad's cottage they landed at and I remember being told about it by them as a child. My granny was a notorious Baker and her scones were unrivalled.

I wasn't going to write anything about the anniversary of the explosion in Creeslough. But writing is how I process things, so here goes.

She had a long day yesterday travelling up and down to Dublin for the Ireland match with a very early start. She had two football matches this morning. Now, she's fallen asleep after watching the Arsenal match 😆 Phew....

The face of absolute joy in the Aviva yesterday. As a budding professional footballer it's important that she sees that it's possible to play for your country as a young woman from rural Donegal. Amber Barrett and Tyler Toland representing that so perfectly. When you see it, you can be it 😀
