Dublin is a fantastic city with fantastic people. But, boy, it can be rough. Just want to shout out the driver of the 14 Dublin Bus who asked if I was ok after being surrounded by and hassled at a bus stop by a rather nasty crowd.

To the person who stole the live stream camera from St Ann’s, Dawson Street during Choral Mattins today, you left your baseball cap behind. If you’d like it back, come and see me. By the way, you’re forgiven. Just bring the camera back and all shall be well.

Little phases me on this platform. But the videos of a dead woman being paraded as a trophy & the woman with blood soaked trousers being bundled into a car are shocking. Pray for the kidnapped. Pray for those killed. Pray for those caught in war. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

An absolute delight to meet former President Mary McAleese at St Ann’s, Dawson Street this evening. When she was growing up, her family home growing up was next door to my grandpa’s rectory. She told me so many funny stories about him and I was so pleased to hear them!
