             White smoke! The 133 Cardinal electors gathered in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel have elected the new Pope. He will appear soon at the central window of St. Peter’s Basilica.

             ‼️⚪️ WHITE SMOKE ⚪️‼️ White smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel’s chimney. The Catholic Church has its 267th Pope. The bells of St. Peter’s ring out to announce the election of Peter’s successor. #Conclave #Conclave2025 #HabemusPapam

             He certainly is a brilliant leader. So many young people (and not so young) have benefitted from his leadership and the sheer hard work of ‘TeamLisneal’. 
           While perplexed about DE & EA over this, I know Michael Allen is one of our finest school leaders and a man of the highest integrity. His transformative leadership has established an impressively strong #TeamLisneal spirit: proud to have worked with him.

              The Donegal side defeated Cork's Kilmurry on penalties in the semi-final, with Lynch scoring the equalising point in the final moments of normal time to bring the game to extra-time.
