It’s not just about the death of journalists in Gaza. It’s about the death of journalism in the West. And each cowardly journalist drove a nail into that coffin. I got a bit heated on today’s @EchoChambersPod, but I stand over every single word.

This will make a lot of us feel uncomfortable. And it absolutely should

Colin Sheridan is one of less than a dozen Irish mainstream journalists who reported and wrote about events in Gaza accurately from day one. His opinion pieces have become must reads. This, on Sally Rooney, is no exception.

I will be discussing my new book The Meek tonight with Sean Rocks on Arena on Radio One after 7pm. Poems in tribute to the composer Conor Walsh, the great Traveller singer John Reilly, and a host of talking animals are on the menu. rte.ie/radio/radio1/arena/

A number of first edition signed copies of The Meek are currently available in Hodges Figgis in Dublin. Thanks to Jane Clarke who spoke so generously and insightfully at last night's launch, and the wise powerhouse Eithne Hand whose new book Tickle is full of verbal gold.

Sustained decline in adolescent heroin addiction in Dublin is something to celebrate. Reduced from 190 per annum in 1996-97 to zero in 2023 (& other opioids = zero too). See below the data from the communities which were most affected by the 1990s heroin epidemic. 1/2
