Rest in Peace, Brid McDermott Our deepest sympathies are with the McDermott family at this sad time. Brid endured the unimaginable loss of her beloved children, Marcella, Willie and George, in the Stardust fire, yet she faced that heartbreak with extraordinary dignity, 1/3 – at Palmas, Canary Islands

Considerably calmer at Galway docks now. Crowd has thinned out. Everyone is wet, cold and tired

I gave a statement to @gardainfo today regarding threats made against my family. While intimidation of journalists isn't brilliant for democracy and I'm happy to sustain an abundance of personal abuse, a line has to be drawn when someone's family is targeted.
