Ciara Mageean died this morning. A light has gone out in the world. Authentic, talented, decent. Her kindness and wonderful personality was a joy to watch and see. Then came her iconic sporting achievements. When we sat down with Ciara for the GAA Social in July, she received disappointing news the day before. Ciara didn’t want to cancel, so we recorded on the Tuesday. It’s 90 minutes Oisin & myself will always treasure. She was the best of us. To Thomas, I’m so sorry. She was mad about you. To the Mageean family, all her great friends and the Portaferry community- what a stunning human being, to call one of your own. This is so unfair. I’ve never met a person who met Ciara, who didn’t love her. A one off.

ITV show "Spitting Image" aired on British TV 32 years ago. When the truth about Israel was aired instead of lies. This is LONG before Hamas.

Aaron used to play in the pub down the road from me (Noggin Inn) It’s hard to understate what a massive break this must have been for him, and the courage it took to give it up on a point of principle Massive respect

Disappointing and shameful move by @edsheeran to drop @macklemore from his tour because he spoke up for Palestine. With Ireland's history of oppression and suffering under colonialism, surely Ed should understand the need to stand with victims of genocide and occupation.
