Tiny girl on a huge stage. Wonderful night. V proud Dad.
Shout out for @davidmcw daughter Lucy McWilliams supporting Tanita Tikaram in the NCR last night, a real one to watch. Unique voice somewhere between Norah Jones & Kate Bush if i was to compare her with anyone. Brilliant musician too.

To a economic historian, did the Germans lead any tech revolution in the later 19th c...ie between the Brits and the Yanks?

The day I brought Bernie Sanders to meet Michael D for lunch to the Aras...what a lovely afternoon, just listening to these two riffing on politics, history, culture, books, philosophy, sport, life, the lot. @TheSandersInst Good times.

What a huge improvement when traffic is replaced by people enjoying street life.
We've transformed our city in many ways in the last five years. This street used to be full of cars. Now there's music, laughter, food, people sitting down. Life slows down a little bit on Parliament Street.

Great chats with Roscommon's finest @kylascan last night @kilkenomics. Such an interesting conversation with America's most consequential young economist who grand parents left here in the 1950s. Our loss, Kentucky's gain! Day 2 @kilkenomics kicks off this morning. See you here.

Australia’s housing crisis looks very like Ireland’s, but it’s not the same -

Jesus, that flew along. Where does time go? "The Pope's Children" is twenty year old tomorrow. Today's podcast is all about the book that was such fun to write and seems to strike a major chord. A different country and yet one that is still instantly recognisable.

Liam we will raise a glass or two to Martin @kilkenomics
I'm sad to report that my father has passed away. Martin Halligan lived most of his life in the UK - but it's safe to say that his heart was always in Ireland. Dad was born in 1938 - and spent his early childhood on a farm between Swinford and Charlestown, Co Mayo. His father
