A great Irish poet and singer left us today. She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time. Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor. Rest easy Sinéad.

Orchids have been discovered growing on the grounds of Trinity College in Dublin city centre, much to the surprise and delight of botanists. The orchids appeared after the university stopped cutting the grass on some of its formal lawns in May. Read more: rte.ie/b/1392111

Spectacular footage of Galway's new crossing...
Galway has a new bridge, the first new span across the corrib in decades — the main span was lowered into place this morning under thick fog. @GalwayCityCo @galwayad @GalwayChamber @ThisIsGalway

A man wanting to jump off a bridge in London was talked down by strangers who held him for an hour until help arrived. Look at that grip. Look at the care, compassion, selflessness, and determination shown by strangers to a hurting human being. We need more of this in the world.

For #CultureNight, I am giddy, just back from reading a little poem about how the country is at ease now that the country-folk have survived Garth and the ploughing. Enjoy, my friends. My poem The Imbalanced Country @IrishTimes @rte @poetryireland
