Today I am the longest serving Senator in the State. Lovely lunch to celebrate here @OireachtasNews #Seanad. Photo with Justice David Barniville, grandson of Henry Barniville who is now second!
Nearing the end of my radiation therapy for cancer. Chorus of birds in my garden cheering me on. (Not for nothing of course - I feed them regularly). It will be great to be back to normal.
Nothing to do with #Bloomsday All about #VoteIvana #DBS21 #DublinBaySouth. Have a lovely day everyone.

This campaign starts in May in Ireland and the UK to raise awareness of the impact of Huntington’s disease on the individuals and families. The disease targets nerve cells, changing a person’s movement, behaviour and cognition. There is no cure and very limited treatment options
As we approach #HDAwarenessMonth, we are delighted to be working with our colleagues across the UK and Ireland on the #FamilyMatters campaign. Sometimes we are #StrongerTogether. Find out more here: tinyurl.com/4dyd5f3p @HDA_tweeting @HDAI_ie @ScottishHD @NI_RDP @CarersNI
This is an inspirational film about Huntington’s Disease which is now free to view on YouTube youtu.be/wTTq9Z2QG84
This is a beautifully made, powerful and very emotional film. Please, please watch it! @HDAI_ie @dancing_vatican @NeurologyTcd

Very sorry to learn of the death of my old pal Desmond Guinness. Without his heroic efforts a lot of Georgian Ireland would have vanished
Look, even if you believe an event is not in breach of guidelines so you attend and you see 80 people - you run like Hell. One rule for all #golfgate
Senate meeting in the Convention Centre. It’s enormous. Much bigger than the Gaiety and without the atmosphere - but the health of the nation takes precedent.
I’d forgotten about this. And it is excellent. 18 short sound bites. #Bloomsday2020 @BloomsdayDublin @JamesJoyceCentr youtu.be/wM6H7hGe8mQ?list=PL….
