Off to Dublin and Croke Park again. This time to hopefully see the Cork Camogie team win a Three in a Row All Ireland. Travelling today on the Waterford line. The best way to travel.

I was thrilled to receive a signed copy of this book. It was an honour, as Lord Mayor of Cork, to have welcomed Senator Sanders to City Hall.

My office today. A conference on unaccompanied migrant children. I'm here with the European Committee of the Regions. We have visited a centre for adolescent boys built for 150 but catering for almost twice that number. These are European problems.

In what may be the shortest ever retirement, I'm doing this again already. It is always an honour to represent the office of the Lord Mayor, and I am a team player. The Lord Mayor himself is willing our hurlers to victory. I'm wishing the Lee Swim well.

Happy birthday, Joe. Seafarer, miner/dynamiter, woodworker, plastic welder, and Dad. You came into this World 98 years ago today, leaving us quarter of a century ago. You would have loved your great grandchildren, and they would have loved you.

I was honoured to share an Iftar meal with the Muslim community in Cork. As the child of Irish emigrants parents, being born in the US, I have been proud how we in Cork have been welcoming to and benefitting from immigrants to our city.
