Millions across the world have taken to the streets - in Scotland, the UK, USA, in Tel Aviv - and many more countries across the world demanding peace. They are the conscience of our world, I hope they are heard and humanity prevails. Blessed are the peacemakers.

It was such a joy to chat to Tommy, who’s been a comedy hero of mine for 25 years. To say I was absolutely shitting myself is an understatement, but he’s a gentleman.
🎧 Have a listen to @aifricoconnell chat to Tommy on @rte2fm about his stand-up shows, Derry Girls, Father Ted and so much more… ⚠️ Tommy will perform his ‘tomfoolery’ show for the final time in Ireland when he plays Live At The Marquee in Cork on 15th June - this is one show

“I need to talk to you about the coronavirus and COVID-19” With those words @LeoVaradkar locked down the country. In today’s @IrishTimes, an extract from Pandemonium tells the inside story of the weeks, days and hours that led to that point as Ireland hurtled towards lockdown

Where did your school tours take you and just how bad were they? We'd love to hear from you for tomorrow's show. So, whether it was an annual trip to a nearby bottling plant or a visit to see the head of St Oliver Plunkett, let us know...

This is by far the most interest the HSE has ever shown in Donegal.
Donegal needs to “turn around” its high Covid-19 infection rates, public health officials have warned, amid rising case numbers in the county.
