One of the stories & performers of the year in Irish athletics. Outstanding talent 🙌🙌🙌.
Lorcan Murphy has made three national senior podiums this year: 3rd in the 100m, 3rd in the indoor high jump, and 1st in the decathlon. Can’t think of another Irish basketball international who can match that.

The crowds at Cork City Sports, Morton Games & National Champs speak volumes. This should be so doable 🙏🙏🙏.
Dear @sportireland. First world problem I know. But we really need a new one of these. They’re all over Europe and not always in capital cities. 5000-10000 seats with basic facilities will do fine.15000 would be awesome. Badly needed. If you build it, they will come.

Jamie Oliver’s new documentary on dyslexia and school has just started on channel 4. It’s about UK schooling but I’m sure there’s lots of crossovers for the Irish system. Would love your experiences of dyslexia & school in 2025? ⬇️.#dyslexiarevolution.

What a final 😮💨😮💨😮💨.
History made 🤯. Devynne Charlton defends her 60m hurdles title in a nail-biting race where six women dipped under 7.80 – a new record😳. Before today, the most sub-7.80s in one race was just three. This final doubled it 😱. #WorldIndoorChamps
