    I’ve written a book - not a sentence I ever expected to write 😀. "From Rags to Riches” charts the @IrishRugby men’s team over the 29 seasons and 316 test matches since the game went professional in 1995. All profits going to @IRFUCharTrust. With over 600 pages and over ..(1/3)

    My mum passed earlier this afternoon. To many she was a former teacher, politician, broadcaster, author but to myself and @CllrAengusOrour she was our mum. She loved us to bits ,taught us to respect everyone, to be honest , to work hard and study hard, to love our family.

    She almost died in Christmas 2021 but recovered to be looked after exceptionally well in the Fern Dean Nursing home in Deansgrange. The last 7 or 8 weeks she has been in sparkling form - reading the paper and enjoying the visits of family and friends.

    At the end of the 20th Century, @IrishRugby had 101 more losses than wins (P475 W173 L274 D27 Abandoned 1). Today that gap is 6 (P750 W356 L361 D32 A1). We’ve had more wins in last 24 1/2 years than the previous 124 years. Enjoy this golden era!

    Congrats to my namesake @thor67 and kudos for taking on possibly the most difficult job in Ireland at the moment as Chair of @rte - fantastic public service. A belated welcome to the family as well - an older brother I never knew I had ! 😀😀
