We could reach out and make contact. We could shatter the icy cold of loneliness. We're all capable of reaching out to others who are lonely. Maybe, particularly now, reaching out is important. RIP my dad, Brendan Deeds. Died 15th May 2024

Congratulations to the Women's 4x400m relay team on their fantastic performance in finishing fourth in tonight's Olympic final. While just missing out on a medal, they have so much to be proud of in tonight's race and in all of their performances across the week and the summer

Can we give them some of the fucking greyhound money, please?

There is something special about watching our athletes going toe to toe with the best in the world. They bring a huge amount of pride and feel good factor to our country. Proud they are ours 🇮🇪🇮🇪💪💪👏. Well done Phil Healy Sophie Becker Sharlene Mawdsley Rhasidat Adeleke

A heartbreaking interview. We are all crying with them, bittersweet, tears of pride. Fantastic women 👏👏👏

An Olympics of firsts for Team Ireland #Paris2024 #Olympics

A reminder that some of the Irish 4x400m squad - and many other sports people who went with Team Ireland to #OlympicGames - work in jobs to keep themselves going. This country needs really to properly and adequately fund its sport and the athletes within it.

And don’t forget Phil’s coach Shane McCormack

Lets hope Pádraig Byrne that Sophie Becker gets more than back page of People Newspaper next week.

How many of the team members who won the gold, silver and bronze have to hold down jobs Micheál Martin .

What a Games for British 400m running 5 national records, 4 medals! Moments to savour and be proud of! Congrats, to all who been part of the journey! Merci Paris 🤞🏼

8 years apart. Different Olympic dreams, desolation on the track. All connected. Craig Lynch, training partner of Sophie Becker. Thomas Barr, boyfriend of Kelly McGrory Brian Gregan, husband of Ciara McCallion, a key physio for many on the team David Gillick, telling the story

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with my good friend and legend! Dame Denise Lewis

These have been the best of days, the best of us doing their thing #Olympics2024Paris #Fleadh24 and doing so beautifully Ireland did Ireland proud as Wexford did Wexford proud Sport and Culture Abu!

Monumental effort from Fionnuala McCormack to finish 28th in the Women’s Marathon in a time of 2:30:12 🔥 Her third consecutive top 30 finish at the Games on the day she became Ireland’s first ever five-time female Olympian 🤯✨ Amazing Fionnuala! #TeamIreland | #Paris2024

The joy of watching from home, we can mute the music …I’m scraping the barrel looking for a positive Dan Peachey 😢😂

Well deserved praise from the great Paul Hession 🇮🇪

A few mentions on RTE2 to be fair. Phil ran a brilliant race, a determined brilliant athlete and lovely woman. Has a great coach Shane McCormack and his wonderful family Phil Healy
