The wisdom that goes with Manchán is an immeasurable loss.

Thoughts with all who loved him.
We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Manchán Magan.

A remarkable writer and broadcaster, his reflections on language, place, and identity captured so much of Ireland’s spirit.
It was a privilege to feature Manchán on the ARINS My Identity Podcast earlier this year.

Interesting discussion at MacGill on the toxic influence of social media on young men.

12 years ago at a centenary event of Emily Wilding Davison's death I first met reps from @ukfeminista.bsky.social who have amazing resources for teachers, students and parents - highly recommend for educators.

‘What is beyond dispute is that the republic is the wealthy part of the island, astronomically so’
When asked how much they are willing to compromise economically to achieve unity 51% of tonight's audience says a little; 29% a lot; 10% nothing and 9% almost nothing.

Amazing to have NI children’s commissioner Chris Quinn and Ireland’s ombudsman for children Niall Muldoon discussing children’s rights, housing & education.
From our first meeting months ago in our office to a huge and packed room listening today in Donegal - these conversations are vital.
