We’re all devastated by the death of our much loved photographer, colleague and friend Mick O’Neill. He died in an RTA yesterday in Dublin. Mick was the snapper’s snapper. There was nobody who came close to him. He travelled all over Ireland and the world doing a job he loved and…

When I was working in a newsroom - both regional and national - @rteliveline was unmissable and provided us with many stories on a weekly basis. I still listen now when I can - and @joeliveline is as passionate and strong as ever. We will miss you very much on the airwaves Joe!

Since weekend, these pods near #Booterstown Dart Station have been full, and unwanted clothing dumped all around them since. Rang the 3 numbers on the bins to contact when full - each of them say their inbox is full and can’t take message. Such an eyesore @dlrcc

Great to be at the Martin McEvoy conference today, hosted by @LawGovDCU in DCU All Hallows. Just sorry I couldn’t stay for whole thing. 🧵⬇️ on @moranjohna1 keynote address. Lots of food for thought when it comes to a directly elected mayor for Dublin!

Among the @DCU students graduating today is Sarraj Alsersawi, from Gaza, who arrived in Dublin in Sep 2023. His family’s safety has been threatened on a daily basis since he arrived, and he's lost many friends since. Sarraj came top of his Master's class today. 📸 @kobpix
