1/6: We have taken the decision to suspend all activity on this platform, for two main reasons:

Thank you everyone for your support - I would like to also commend Oran Morrison for his courage in sharing his own experience as well. You can read Oran's story here if you are interested. Thank you again.

I'm delighted, thanks to @irish_news, that @Translink_NI have agreed to investigate the matter & I look forward to engaging positively with them. No blind person should have to plead to be taken to a taxi, as I had to. Those procedures should be in place as a bare minimum.

What a year 2024 was 🌟 thank you to every single person who made it amazing 🙏 We cannot wait to see what 2025 brings. #2024Recap #ChildreninCrossfire

Was great to visit @DownHighSchool to present them with their Gold Compassionate School Award as part of our Global Citizenship Education programme. We look forward to continuing our relationship as they empower their students to respond to the world around them. Well done!

This story is not only incredibly heartbreaking but also hugely inspirational. You can listen to Geraldine's story now on Apple, Spotify and more! Click here

In 2020, Geraldine, her husband John, and their two children were making their way back home to Moville, Donegal, after a family trip to Derry. Due to adverse weather conditions, their car careered off the road and ended up in the River Foyle. Geraldine was the only survivor.

@dcsdcouncil @RNIBNI @derrycityfc @Drive105 8/8: I’m delighted that visually impaired fans can now attend the Brandywell with friends, sit wherever they like, and enjoy the match like everyone else. COME ON THE CITY!

@dcsdcouncil @RNIBNI @derrycityfc @Drive105 7/8: That’s why the new system at the Brandywell is so important. The commentary is in real time; you know exactly where the ball is as it happens.

@dcsdcouncil @RNIBNI @derrycityfc @Drive105 6/8: Nowadays, Derry City matches are well-covered on the radio, and you can listen online—but the issue is that by the time the commentary reaches you, it can be up to 30 seconds behind the action. So, while everyone else is cheering, the ball is still mid-air for me!

@dcsdcouncil @RNIBNI @derrycityfc @Drive105 5/8: This was a game changer for me; being at the side of the pitch, among the crowd, knowing what was happening while enjoying the atmosphere was the perfect setup.

@dcsdcouncil @RNIBNI @derrycityfc @Drive105 4/8: Thanks to Felix Healy and Jim McLaughlin, when they realised my enthusiasm for Derry City, they arranged for me to be sitting at the side of the pitch, next to my old English teacher, John Dunn, who was doing commentary for online video at the time.

@dcsdcouncil @RNIBNI @derrycityfc @Drive105 3/8: I can recall switching between RTE and BBC Radio Foyle, hoping to find coverage; sometimes you’d get just 10 minutes of the match before they’d move on to other sports, which used to drive me round the bend!

2/8: I remember back in the early days when Derry City came back into the league; like everyone else, I couldn’t get enough football and was eager to go to the Brandywell. Unfortunately, back then, not every match—whether home or away—had a commentary.

1/8: I've attended the last few home matches at the Brandywell, using the new audio description system. I’m delighted to see this initiative & well done to @dcsdcouncil , @RNIBNI , @derrycityfc , and, of course, @Drive105 who are providing the commentary.

Thank you @CambridgeBank for the warm welcome. It was a pleasure to speak to the team at the Waltham Operations Centre.
