Ovechkin may be retiring to Mordor after this season, but Canada should sanction him now and send a clear message: celebrity endorsement of Putin’s regime and Russia’s criminal war must have real consequences. @hasek_dominik @Capitals @AnitaAnandMP theglobeandmail.com/gift/a2e…

Shameful! It is no longer possible to turn a blind eye on this @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD Time to gain control of Aughinish Alumina and stop supplying the russian war machine!

What will you do about it?

Russia is waging a genocidal war on Ukraine. Aleksandr Ovechkin said: "I am Russian. I support my country."
The Washington Capitals and the NHL cannot walk away from this. They are supporting war crimes and crimes against humanity by allowing Ovechkin to play hockey.

Ovechekin cant have it both ways. He cant say that "Well, I'm not in politics. I can’t say who's right and who's wrong,” and then appear in political ad for Putin.

The great uilleann piper Paddy Keenan has passed away. His music carried the wild heartbeat of tradition and will echo for generations. May he rest in peace.

ITMA is deeply saddened by the death of the iconic uilleann piper Paddy Keenan. Born into a travelling family, Paddy was a founding member of the legendary group The Bothy Band and his virtuosity on the pipes made him one of the most celebrated traditional musicians of all time.

While being interviewed by Austin Comerton on the new edition of my book, The Traveller's Tale, I was shocked to hear that Irish Radio Canada is closing after 21 years on air.
Austin has been a stalward of the Irish community over those years. His operation will be missed.
