I'm not much of an athlete but a big fan of @parkrunIE @parkrun.
100 years since the first members joined Garda Siochana seems a good time to reeommend it to anyone who's thinking about a career in the police. It's a rewarding career and a unique insight into life at its best and worst. Sometimes the difference is you! youtu.be/6-osDlKr_sQ
May Pope Francis Rest in Peace.
A boy asks Pope Francis if his deceased father is in heaven This is one of the defining moments of his pontificate in my opinion

Every election myself and @BCJudge sit down for some food a few sociable pints and try to predict the election. #GE2024 will be interesting if we're right! Always good fun with one of my oldest friends. #electionnerds
If anyone ever needs an example and there are many of the barbaric savagery of the IRA and their ilk this is it. Those who want can sing about them to their hearts content but this is what they are condoning.
November 13, 1973 - Bernard Teggart, North Belfast, Civilian, Catholic, 15. Bernard had a mental age of just 8. "A placard with the word ‘Tout’ written on it was pinned to the dead youth’s chest." ‘What kind of organisation would feel threatened by a boy with a mental age of…
Just finished @TheRestHistory series on the Irish War of Independence and Civil War. Excellent very fair exposition of controversial period in Irish history. Well done to @holland_tom @dcsandbrook with brilliant contributions by Paul Rouse and @RMcGreevy1301 Worth a listen!
I was lucky to know Br Kevin. May he Rest in Peace. The work he did for the homeless in Dublin was special. Offered everyone the dignity of genuine help and friendship. A saintly man.

A very well written series of books outlining what it was like to be a frontline policeman in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Well worth reading for anyone interested in policing.
Now there's a thought!! Dm me for signed personalised copies!
As an occasional listener (mostly when commuting) with a huge interest in history I'm really looking forward to this episode when it's released. A good chat after with @foggySeanie @BCJudge and @Damian_Cullen would be in order!
Huge thanks to @RIAdawson for hosting us this morning: recording two episodes of @TheRestHistory on the Irish War of Independence with massive Friend of the Show, Paul Rouse
Clodagh & Ava's 10th birthday today. This morning Clodagh did her 10th @parkrunie @parkrun at @WaterstownP Wasn't possible to convince Ava to go but she occasionally goes along. Both love junior parkrun. #loveparkrun #birthdayparkrun
Looks like the breeze I can hear in Dublin started in Florida. It's 3am. I've been woken by wind. Sustained gusts like I've never heard and it's only started. Wow! #StormEowyn
I love that this buachaill went to the bother of getting a photo of @RobBrydon fishing. #GavinAndStacey #gavinandstaceythefinale #fishingtrip
Great finale #GavinAndStacey
They tied up all the loose ends except the fishing trip. Great end to a great show. #GavinAndStacey
I'd imagine having a CD wastes less energy than holding a digital copy of the music in a data centre for years on end.
South Korea's K-pop industry faces criticism for its excessive production of CDs that activists say contributes to a surge in plastic waste reut.rs/3Ohw2WG
Some say this was necessary. I cannot fathom why. No murder during the Troubles was justified. This and other crimes achieved nothing. #NotInMyName #justiceforthe21
This evening 50 years ago 1,000s of people went out into the streets of Birmingham to meet friends & family. Over 200 of these people eventually made it home, some with life changing injuries, 21 others never saw the light of day again! 200, 21, Zero Justice - Law & Order?

Friends, my thoughts on the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. #Olimpiadas2024 #OlympicGames
July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably…
