Week 60: situation with the #ShantyTown is now genuinely insane. Massively expanded over weekend. Other side of Mount Street now occupied too, including by EU Commission in Ireland. Footpaths fully blocked. Largest & most intimidating camp has been yet. Whole city will be lost at this rate.

The FAI is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Cork-born legend Charlie Hurley

Capped 40 times by his country, Charlie will always be remembered as 'The King'

We are proud he played for Ireland and offer our sympathies to his family and friends

I’m extremely proud to have been voted the new Chair of the LMA by my fellow managers.👇

Remembering a legend. Gone but never forgotten. Hail Cesar. ☘️

This is a shockingly poor performance from the minister for justice.

There may be good answers to these questions but if there are the minister who should have them doesn’t appear to know. Not reassuring.

At a pivotal time with War in Ukraine, a climate crisis, migration and concerns about EU competitiveness, the EU Elections on Friday 7 June, is a chance to #UseYourVote

“El Gato” - should I be worried?!

Five years ago, the great Billy McNeill passed away after a long struggle with dementia. This is an article I wrote at that time about Billy's remarkable career as a player and a manager.

So right! This was absolute and utter nonsense. Step by size nine step, the world is going completely bonkers!

U15s are also now in the SFAI All Ireland Final! With a brilliant 3-1 win over Douglas Hall AFC/LFC. Best of luck to them for the rest of the season. Well done to all players and coaches Mick, Kieran.

Excellent and thought provoking piece by Brian Murphy

Should we have a “Republic Day” in Ireland?

On the week of its 50th anniversary, I will be giving a talk on the Dublin-Monaghan bombings of 17th May 1974, the worst day for fatalities throughout the Troubles, at 6:30pm on Wednesday, 15th May in Rathmines Library.

FULL-TIME: Dundee 0-0 Rangers

75 years ago today, on 18 April, the Republic of Ireland Act came into effect and Ireland became a republic. What was the background to this coming about and how did a newspaper scoop change history?

75 years ago today, Ireland became a republic on 18 April 1949. Should Ireland have an annual Republic Day anniversary to commemorate this event? I am not convinced. My latest article for RTÉ Brainstorm #OTD #History rte.ie/brainstorm/202…

Can't even get a result or even a decent performance against ross county or dundee, literally handing them the league title, I know it's still mathematicaly possible for us to take the league, they won't drop any points and we certainly cannot beat them at their place #RangersFC

5 points from 15 you don’t deserve to win the league with form like that and that’s the fact of the matter! Just not good enough! 🔵🔴⚪️ #RangersFC

Another shocking performance tonight Rangers Football Club #rangersvdundee #RangersFC
