Blood donation #40 done today. I don’t post this for my benefit; I post in the hope that those who are fit and healthy might consider donating, to help those who are fighting to regain their health. Only 3% of the eligible population donate blood. #GiveBlood @Giveblood_ie

Done and dusted! So proud to run a leg of #CorkCityMarathon2021 in the colours of #SanctuaryRunners . I might have the slowest time but, given my early start, does this mean I finish first in @TheCorkMarathon , @SanctuaryRunner ? 😉 #Solidarity #Friendship #Respect #KeepingPromises

People continuing to arrive half an hour after the Sinn Féin meeting in #Cork kicked off. Not far off a thousand people here now. Extra chairs were wheeled in, adding to the 372 originally put out and many people are standing at the sides and at the back of the hall. @rtenews

So much tragedy over the past weeks and months. As the country enjoyed some welcome sunshine, the body of a man in his 80s was taken from the water at #Curracloe Beach in Co Wexford. And here in #Fountainstown in Co Cork, the body of an eight-year old girl recovered tonight…

So sorry to hear this. Michael O’Regan was such a generous, articulate, wise colleague. And he always met you with a smile. May he rest in peace… Michael O’Regan, ‘generous, compassionate’ Irish Times journalist, dies at home in Dublin – The Irish Times
