Fascinating social history of several generations of an extended family living on Dublin’s O’Connell Street and how the street needs people back living on it.

Absolutely superb to see Global Talent Ireland launched. I know from science colleagues around the world that there is a lot of talent on the move globally, and a once in a generation opportunity to attract it here. Credit to @lawlessj for getting this up and running so quickly.

Very positive to see follow through on last year's Dublin City Taskforce and real movement towards rejuvenating our capital city. Particularly welcome that "derelict sites will be converted into high-density residential areas where homes for essential workers will be a priority".

A great day for Irish science, and credit to @lawlessj for pushing for CERN membership for many years and making it a reality today as Minister. It's a long time coming - the first campaign to join I recall was back when I was studying particle physics myself in the last century!.
