    So many of us across the nation will be more sad than we can say at this news. As a wise person once said: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle of which you know nothing.”
    Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan says he is taking time out from work commitments to be with his family. A plan has been put in place for others to take over responsibility for different aspects of his role. Dr Ronan Glynn will take over as acting Chief Medical Officer

    Your PM has form on this, Joe. He grabbed my notes during a public interview about Brexit in Dublin last January. I suggested he hang on to them as they might come in handy. B
    Tried to show @BorisJohnson the picture of Jack Williment-Barr. The 4-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to lie on a pile of coats on the floor of a Leeds hospital. The PM grabbed my phone and put it in his pocket: @itvcalendar | #GE19

    A tiny visitor to our back window this morning. Didn’t seem to see me through the glass so I was able to come very close.

    Oh dear! Barbers won’t reopen until July 20th. Fortunately my wife turns out to be very skilled with the scissors. For some reason she won’t let me return the favor!

    Sometimes something stops you in your tracks.
    Today is the 40th birthday of my 12 yr old son Tim. It is bittersweet to think Tim would have his own family and live nearby as Dom and Abbi do. It was never to be, but his life counts for so much thro @peacefoundation. Tim is eternal and everywhere xx

    Of only a few broadcasters can it be said they are truly irreplaceable - Sean O’Rourke is most definitely one of that select group. B

    The Morning Ireland series editor claims I buy the books by the yard! James Joyce is top left. The Picador’s are Eric Newby. Shelves built by Oakline, Ranelagh. Couldn’t imagine presenting MI in my dressing gown. Stay safe all. B

    Agreed, there should have been a warning. I just didn’t think to give one so my apologies. B
    @BryanNewsatOne @RTENewsAtOne any chance of content warnings before going right into breaking news about a baby murderer news item? It’s lunchtime in summer, there are kids listening.

    The passing of one of our greatest patriots who, in his own phrase, dedicated his life to “spilling his sweat and not his blood” for Ireland. Deepest condolences to his wife Pat and his family.
