Ahmed al-Ahmed is the very definition of a hero. I hope his name and his live saving efforts aren't used for political point scoring or for negative agendas.

Jozef and his family should be sent back to Slovakia to serve their prison sentences and be banned from ever returning to Ireland.

Relatives of convicted murderer Jozef Puška have been jailed for offences connected to the murder of Ashling Murphy.

Members of his family were sentenced today after being convicted of offences including withholding information and assisting an offender.

It was a disappointing debate for a disappointing presidential election.

I'm very underwhelmed by both candidates, if I'm honest.

Humphreys is very inept at answering questions, and Connolly is very adept at avoiding answering questions.

Racists using this disgusting attack on that poor girl for the own agenda and to spread hate is abhorrent.

Burning out Garda vans solves absolutely nothing.

The #Gaza situation is depressing me. Israel is starving and killing innocent people, and what do the leaders of the Western world do? Impose sanctions and hold them to account? No. They just continue to fund them and supply them with arms. It's sickening.

Watching Lewis Capaldi on #bbc at Glastonbury. It's so great to see him back on the stage. Fantastic singer and such a genuinely nice guy. He's getting such a brilliant reception from the crowd, too. Delighted for him.

Gaza still needs to be the main headline everyday, forget about all the Trump and Netanyahu distraction stories. It's abhorrent that these poor people's plight has been ignored.

This genocide needs to be called out and stopped.

This is awful. Nobody should live in fear like this. Abhorrent behaviour from a group of racist thugs.

Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

Very, very dark scenes in Ballymena. Old friend in Belfast sent me this photo today.

When before have we seen the ‘others’ with special markings on their doors?

It is an awful way to decide a Munster final, and that's coming from a Corkman.

I must admit Cork surprised me today. What a turnaround from a fortnight ago. The heart, bravery, and desire were phenomenal. A thoroughly deserved win!

The fact that this whole Trump-Musk thing is getting so much media attention is indicative of what's wrong with the world right now.

There are a lot more important things the world should be focusing on.

Visited the National Aquarium in Salthill earlier this week. It really is fantastic. It's definitely worth visiting when in Galway.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Sad news to hear of Mick O'Dwyer's passing.

A true legend of Gaelic football. He will be remembered fondly, not only in Kerry, but all over the country.

May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

The Irish football team with the same old story, there's a big lack of creativity. Not creating enough chances against a poor Bulgarian side. Build-up play is very slow. The quality of the final ball is very poor. We're gonna struggle against better sides.
