Three member's of Munster's "Professional Game's Board" have stepped down due to their objections over the appointment.
Don't let Munster or the IRFU off the hook for this. They don't get to pretend to give one single fuck about the women's game and then sign scum like this.
Very glad to see that Irish Museum of Modern Art are screening Deep End Dance, the short dance film I made with David Bolger and CoisCéim Dance Theatre. It's to commemorate my friend Martha O'Neill, the film's producer, who died last year.
I had a wonderful email last week from @thin-skin.bsky.social that my new story SISTERS would be published in the next issue. Over the moon the editors felt out was a good fit for the magazine and so grateful for their time and consideration 🙏
One week left to submit for Issue 7! Closing on the 14th, reopening on 1st May. And don't forget, people, we'll be taking poetry from then too. Guidelines up shortly on thin-skin.com. In the meantime, if you haven't read Issue 6, you're missing out on some great work!

No comment from the doctor at the White House?
My camera roll is full of work photos... 😄
Would love that, Orla. I don't cycle in Limerick city, don't feel safe atm, but maybe it will get better some day 🤞
Known far-right are aggressively promoting 'fuel protests' in the hope of a far-right shut down, which hauliers & farmers' orgs have distanced themselves from in the North.
'Speaking on Friday, the main groups representing farmers & hauliers in Northern Ireland distanced themselves from the plans.'
Ireland's continuing lack of awareness of the presence of global far-right influence/activism in Ireland literally keeps me awake at night

Not a bad Good Friday in my part of the world.
A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.
Reminder that the moon that orbits the Earth has a name in English and that name is the Moon. There are lots of nicknames and names in other languages (Luna, for instance) but technically in English it is just the Moon. The concept of a moon is uncapitalized; our moon is the Moon.

Voice of America's employees have been in limbo for a year. A federal appeals court just ensured they'll stay there a little longer, halting a plan to return them to work.

Oh Sally - thank you so much, it means a lot. I really tried to be honest and caring with both Olivia and her mom. Thank you for your comment ❤️🙏
Thanks Conor 🤗
Yup, that's me and my story published in this brilliant mag. ☺️
The left holds Paris. Emmanuel Grégoire is new mayor, succeeding Anne Hidalgo. He beat the right by about 51%-40% say estimates. Many factors mattered, but clear that voters endorsed left's transformation of Paris into biking city. See my @financialtimes.com column as.ft.com/r/7840a393-8...

I can't believe the Czechs have to go out and demo for democracy again. 250k people at Letna Park yesterday. Russia has won this round, sadly, populist, racists, climate change deniers, fascists form the government coalition.

Congrats Roisin, another #bestseller ❤️
This is the way.
Search Party just published a video on Bellingcat and the Irish Times's investigation into the biggest drug cartel you've never heard of, and it's ties to everything from MMA to Hezbollah.

Many congratulations to me 🎉🎉🎉
