Grandad passed away earlier this week aged 106. He was an absolute gentleman, courteous to all and a very healthy amount of mischief and divilment. We’ll all miss him.
Grandad. He’s 102. He’s in the hottest county in Ireland in Tyrone (31.3C). Still calls the Republic the “free state”. Still wears socks with sandals. Irish men will always be Irish.

Replacing experienced TDs will be a challenge for Simon Harris, but it’s also a chance to bring in new energy and enthusiasm

Minor correction: Petra and Loreen. Forever winners #Eurovision2024 #Eurovision
So many losers at this year’s #Eurovision2024, sadly. The only winner is Petra Mede, who should be elected in four year terms as mandatory host. Icon. #Eurovision

Ireland used to be the undisputed ruler of the song contest but now our acts struggle to qualify. What can we learn from our fellow seven-time winners? #Eurovision

Back in March I went to Stockholm to undertake a spying mission for Ireland to report on how fellow seven-time #Eurovision winner Sweden select their entry. We’re a little behind, to say the least. What an absolute joy it was. #Melfest @SVTmelfest

I was in Pantibar the night that brick came through the window. Was only a few seats away from the window it smashed. It was property damage and it was vandalism. But we all know why it happened - but the law doesn’t recognise that yet.

Was at Sweden’s #Eurovision selection #melfest on Saturday. Just a few people there. Baffled how they could match Ireland’s record.

More agenda-setting reporting from @JohnMooneyIRL and the @ST__Ireland
Last week’s front page of @ST__Ireland quoted RTE as confirming the RTE chair had approved an exit package for Rory Coveney. Not sure why Catherine Martin is claiming she was only told this week of RTE chair’s knowledge of exit package. #rtept
