Rhasidat Adeleke contributed far more to Ireland than most of the people who say she isn't Irish

I followed Rory as long as they would let me, and did my best to document it all here, from what actually happened to what it felt like to be there. Would be honored if you'd read: golfdigest.com/story/us-open…

Lots of tears shed by Ciara Mageean to make this moment happen.
And now they're flowing again as she stands for Amhrán na bhFiann as the European champion.

Kenyan government says anyone attempting to cross floods in such a way will be arrested for attempted suicide. #KenyaFloods
@ntsa_kenya @kipmurkomen @NPSOfficial_KE Drivers endangering the lives of Kenyans should be held responsible and be arrested if they survive the ordeal. Kenyans should be warned against accepting to cross flooded roads in such a manner. #Kenyafloods
240mm of rainfall expected in Nairobi over the next three days. These are unprecedented levels. Death toll climbing, houses washed away, roads collapsed. We are in a major crisis and it's truly terrifying #KenyaFloods
John Giraneza was left with life-changing injuries when he was attacked with machetes in the 1994 #genocide against the Tutsis. He lost 24 family members in the 100 days of slaughter. He married the daughter of one of the men who wiped out his family. Story on @morningireland
Around 200 people gathered in Bugesera village today, near the Burundi border, to commemorate #Kwibuka30. The resilience of the Rwandan people is awe-inspiring.
