The Palestine Solidarity bloc making its way down Claypath & into the Market Place. The Big Meeting has a long tradition of standing together against oppression & injustice around the world, and we extend our solidarity to those speaking out against genocide.
Splendid work by Billy Crozier, thriving as Duns Scotus chair.

Death of a Saint.. Br Kevin Crowley of Capuchin Day Centre dies aged 90 irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…
I’m very sorry to learn that Br. Kevin Crowley has died. His compassion and love for vulnerable citizens exemplified the Gospel message. A Saintly man.
rte.ie/news/ireland/2… Sad to read of Br Kevin's passing. A gentle gentleman that was an inspiration for all living out his charism of Capuchin humility. A lesson for us all.
Lovely to meet Gerard Gallagher and Noelle Dowling today to discuss the future of religious archives in Ireland. Wonderful people with positive energy.
Pleasure to be at the Canada Day garden party with HE Dennis King and @canadaireland .
Saw this on a colleague’s sweatshirt today: “Don’t let these degrees fool you.” Reminded me of someone who, when asked the most important thing she learned during her Ivy League PhD, said: “That there are dumb people everywhere.”
An Irish caller on LBC suggested that the BBC could show the Kneecap performance at Glastonbury, but dub it with posh English accents like they did with Gerry Adams. 😅😅😅
