Very sad to hear this news from Ciara Mageehan such an outstanding sportswoman and all around ambassador. May we express our best wishes for Ciara that she will make a full recovery.
I wouldn’t have the words to describe how brilliant Ciara Mageean is as a human being. Just a magnificent person. Diagnosed with cancer. We all Wish her every positive wish & prayer for what’s ahead

Reading much of the current commentary on the development of Casement Park the political hostility towards this iconic facility has been glaring. Casement Park must be built.

PSNI say the arrest of Sue Pentel & Martine McCullough was “lawful and proportionate” somebody needs to have a yarn with Winkie!.
The PSNI say they received an ‘emergency call’ (999 emergency, 101 non-emergency), which they legitimised by Sue Pentel’s arrest. So if you see flags going up, the PSNI believe 999 is the proper recourse. Is it the best use of resources? The PSNI say yes. Weird, but ok. Let’s go.

Sorry for Seamus & his family to hear the prognosis re life expectancy. Seamus has spoken out in the interests of his community for decades. It is regrettable even at this stage he must do battle over the church refusal to recognise the funeral rights of citizens like himself.

Good piece Danny.
Just saw the marvellous Bob Dylan biopic, 'A Complete Unknown.' Either ironically or deliberately he is still a complete enigma as the credits roll. Here's a piece I wrote about Dylan over twenty years ago.

Very sorry Robin that your beloved bro Billy has passed away. I always found Billy to be witty sharp and very respectful no matter what the topic was. Condolences RIP.
My funny, brave and beautiful big brother Billy has died. Peacefully and comfortably thanks to the angels in aprons of City 6 North, his virtual home for some months now. What would we do without people like them? .The laughter you gave will never leave me, Bill.
