Angry this morning on behalf of all women, the runners amongst us who can’t do the same route two days in a row, who change the departure times, who run with keys in hand, who have friends on speed dial, who run forward while regularly checking backwards

We traveled to my beloved hometown of Cahersiveen to see how the people there are welcoming Ukrainian refugees -- it's a story playing out in many parts of rural Ireland.

Must-read thread for anyone who finds themselves buying presents for boys and girls this Christmas and the messages conveyed in the choices presented. Absolutely infuriating. This “conditioning” from early childhood has got to stop.

Cannot recommend highly enough the Cliffs of Moher Yoga Retreat for two nights for anyone in need of a reset. Scenic hikes in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, nutritious food, restorative yoga. 🧘♀️ ❤️
I went back to bed this morning rather than go through the list of Dos and Donts for running in the early morning darkness.
It is an unimaginable sadness for Ashling Murphy’s family. May she Rest In Peace.

Proud to be a part of a group of six women - the Irish Women’s Museum Advocacy Group - that worked with the Minister. 🙌

Why are journalists not fact-checking President Trump in real-time in the room during this press conference? Why are journalists not supporting each other with follow up questions?

report from here in Seremban, Malaysia. Some answers but not all in what happened to Nóra. It’s something I’ll be following closely when I get back to Dublin.
I have quite a few Jack Charlton autographs in my collection because my Granny’s house in Carrickmacross, Monaghan was next door to the team’s training pitch at the time. Jack always stopped for the nerdy kid in her Steve Staunton jersey. Such happy memories. May he Rest In Peace
So many lessons in leadership, trust, forensic planning (but not overthinking all the scenarios), empathy, compassion, decency. He is one amazing leader and manager Vinnie Corey.

As someone who is a committed Irish soccer fan, I’m tired of seeing Martin O’Neill use the microphone to air personal grievances with one journalist rather than use the microphone to communicate to fans who are eager for information.
“As my mother lay dying in the Bon Secours Hospital in Cork, one of the last things she said to me was ‘would you not consider retraining as a teacher?’. If she could see me now getting a BAFTA for playing a teacher. Jokes on you Mam!” ❤️🇮🇪

Getting a junior infant dressed for school this morning is heartbreaking knowing there are three junior infants not doing the usual morning rituals and routines. Thoughts are with them, their teacher, the school community, eyewitnesses and rescue teams💔
Can we not perhaps accept this is a leader of a political party showing uncharacteristic joy at winning an unexpected seat? Joy at the success of her candidate, rather than the defeat of an opponent? Much analysis today seems to fit a lazy analysis which pits women against women.
First time going out (or maybe even out-out😂) in four plus months. First time on public transport in four plus months. Currently seven out of ten in my carriage wearing masks which is a much higher compliance rate than I had expected. Seems the message may be getting through.
Heartfelt thanks to

Why do we keep presenting these choices to parents? Princesses for girls, super heroes for boys?
