    Yesterday we buried a lovely woman. Due to #Covid19 there was no wake & our community couldn’t enter the church. But the entire parish came out & lined the 2km road to graveyard to say goodbye to Betty Ryan. Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine #WestKerry

    “Irish is a dead language!” Listen to Misha Yerhidzé, a 10 year old Ukranian boy who fled the war with his mother just over two years ago and settled in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, in the West Kerry Gaeltacht. He has embraced the language and music of his new community.

    6am, Dingle - Ireland's earliest St Patrick's Day parade. The pre-dawn tradition dates back to the Land War of the 1870s when British authorities outlawed public gatherings between sunrise and sunset. The people of Dingle found a way... #StPatricksDay

    For a small rural town this is a huge turnout for a #BlackLivesMatter protest in Dingle Co. Kerry. Led by @WalkingOnCars singer and local man, Pa Sheehy. #Kerry

    The pulse of a people…. Ireland’s earliest St Patrick’s Day parade has taken place in Dingle (6am). A tradition dating back to the Land War of 1880s when the British authorities tried to prevent parades, banning gatherings “between sunrise and sunset.”

    This is truly heroic. This evening Mícheál Keogh rescued four members of the same family, including a 10-year-old boy. Dingle Coastguard say his efforts prevented a horrendous tragedy. Read on... Man praised for saving boy, 10, from sea off west Kerry rte.ie/news/munster/2…

    What a wonderful gesture this is!!! Somebody has left €500 euro in the local shop to buy an Easter egg for every single child and elderly person cocooning in the little parish of Baile an Fheirtéaraigh. 250 eggs being delivered. #WestKerry #Anonymous #Covid_19ireland

    “I could barely watch it. I was petrified something was going to happen the poor fella.” A mother’s love: Noreen O’Sullivan talking about her son, CNN reporter @donie who was in the heart of the action during last night’s chaos.

    Ireland’s earliest parade in Dingle... a tradition since the Land War of the 1880s when the British banned marching between sunrise and sunset... so the people of Dingle came out before daybreak! A great tradition and a mighty turnout at 6am. #WestKerry

    An Ghaeltacht footballer Franz Sauerland outlines some of the racist abuse he has suffered. It's shocking to hear this happens regularly. Franz is a wonderful role model & our parish is very proud of him. He will be joining a Black Lives Matter protest, Dingle at 2pm @NuachtTG4

    A lively exchange in a Dingle supermarket... Local man: You should be wearing a mask in here? Stranger: I’ll get one for Halloween. Local man: You don’t need one, you’re f***ing ugly enough. #Covid_19 #Kerry

    An Arctic Walrus has landed on Valentia Island... believed to have made its way all the way from Greenland! It appears to be exhausted. Video by Alan Houlihan, who’s 5 year old daughter was the first to spot the walrus. #Kerry
