@Pat1975Watty Fame is subjective, but Máiría Cahill is a former Irish senator, bestselling author, and prominent advocate, recognized internationally. If you mean a global celebrity like an A-list actor or musician, your public posts don't mention any such blocks.

Thank you, Kathy Sheridan. 'Whether the abuse happens in Rathfarnham or west Belfast, the story is the same.'.

Máiría Cahill’s isolation was rooted in terror of the tribe. For the Brennan sisters theirs was about protecting reputations

A big thank you to Steven from @BootsUK who saved me with an EPI pen last week. And the Ambulance crew, the hosp staff and my 3 fellow patients in G ward. And to the brilliant Kathy Sheridan, Catriona Crowe and Jacinta at #giaf for everything. And everyone else who came. Grma.

"One wonders why our politicians, who still can’t get their own act together to collectively lead for the greater good, can ­seriously expect communities to care enough not to follow their example.".

'The bonfire builders, who engaged throughout, took this as a signal that, while the area was not ideal, it was as safe as they could make it. They raised the issue and minimal action was taken in response. The community feels hard done by.'.

This week's column. 'Pontificating on the airwaves might bring in votes from the leafy suburbs. Working-class communities like this one need to see action.'. Máiría Cahill: What I saw at the foot of Belfast’s controversial bonfire made me want to scream.

Ah, @JasonReidUK. You deleted your comment before I had the chance to reply. All I was saying really was "You seem positively lovely, and you don't think people singing Ooh Aah up the 'Ra' realise that it is as offensive as paramilitary displays on bonfires?' OK, then.

For those republicans criticising some of the more distasteful elements of the eleventh night. The crowd here singing "Ooh ah Up the 'Ra" last night haven't a clue that their actions are seen as just as bad as the paramilitary displays on some bonfires.
