Sad to hear this news. I worked with Maurice on a few projects - a man of deep conviction, knowledge & discretion. Did fabulous work recording our heritage . Brother of my buddy, Johno, one of Kerry GAA ‘s finest & most graceful footballers . AustinStacksGAA . Ar dheis Dé

The late historian Maurice O’Keeffe, who made an astounding contribution to the preservation of oral history in Kerry is being remembered this week after news of his sad passing. Tributes paid to local historian in this week’s Kerry’s Eye

That’s brilliant. First of many , following in the foot steps of great cyclists , including , Sean Kelly , ( not me!) .

I dealt with Frank for many years as @KerryGroup sponsored Kerry GAA . A gentleman & a scholar . Stuck with us through thick & thin & when I asked for more for the Kerry team , he’d say, “I’ll have a word with The Boss’ . ( Denis Brosnan ) . They always delivered. RIP Frank

Thoroughly enjoyed the Teagasc Farm #biodiversity event in Birr Castle yesterday. Out in beautiful Irish nature learning about nature! #biodiversity #farming

The Government announces €100m extra for 1st. time buyers. Good ! But 1st. two interviewed about it RTÉ News is the 2% Boyo Barret & 18% Mary Lou - obviously to criticise it . Objective journalism ???? Standards in Public Broadcasting ?? Young Fine Gael

Don’t want to beat the gender drum but if a nation of men were stripped of their basic human rights I’m pretty sure there’d be a louder chorus of disapproval. We can’t abandon Afghan women. No talking in the street: how the Taliban silenced women like me thetimes.com/article/85c5b3…

This is terrible news. Nuala was a wonderful, helpful administrator with Munster GAA / Comhairle na Mumhan since I was Chairman at the turn of the Century. Sincere sympathy to her Dad, my great friend , Donie,& all the family, BurgessGaa & Tipperary GAA . RIP Nuala Chaoin.

Well done to the team and management on winning the Laochra Chiarraí award and Louise Quill on winning person of the Year Kerry Association

1st. formal meeting of Foreign Affairs Committee in the new European Parliament now taking place in #Brussels . In a troubled world, particularly #Gaza & #Ukraine , European Parliament has to play an ever stronger role .

The Strategic Dialogue which Ursula von der Leyen set up on #agriculture has concluded & report will be presented to her this week , to be published imminently. Hope it addresses key issues & reduces #redtape by at least 25%. Agriland Irish Farmers' Association ICMSA Irish Farmers Journal CEJA Young Farmers

Great to have my good friend, President of the Eurogroup and Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Paschal Donohoe in with us in the European Parliament today to talk through challenges at European level 🇪🇺

Delighted to speak at the #REconnect event in Brussels this evening with SolarPower Europe EHPA. Huge opportunity in the coming years to drive the transition to an electricity system based on #renewables and storage. But, focus must be put on speeding up #planning,

Walburga Hemetsberger Mechthild Wörsdörfer Seán Kelly MEP Thomas Pellerin-Carlin Benedetta Scuderi “Planning and permitting for renewables is just taking too long. We’re not diluting the targets to get permitting done - targets have to be time-limited. One terrible example in Ireland - it took 11 years to get a solar farm permitted and then just one year to build it!

Hi Limerick GAA fans. Hope you survived your #stag KillarneyCourt Hotel ! Time will tell whether your prediction of Kerry GAA to win #Sam & @#Limetick to win #Liam will come through. One of them will , for definite ! 🙏😁

Congratulations to my friend Michel Barnier, on having just been appointed Prime Minister of France. We worked closely together during the long and difficult Brexit negotiations, where he proved himself to be a great friend of Ireland. I can't think of anyone better for the role.
