When this aired on RTE I told everyone I met, (& posted all over my socials!), about how this was the most beautiful documentary ever. Do yourself a favour & watch. Have never been so happy to "spread the word" 😊 #birds #speirgorm

Seen Mickey 17 tonight. Really enjoyed it. A few changes from the book but it all works. Lovely production design.

It looks great. The kids section is bigger then the adults, as it should be! And someone in there loves graphic novels so I'm in heaven.

Dublin are playing Kerry in Tralee this evening and the Dubs have descended on the town en masse. To their credit they are adapting, they've already fashioned a makeshift Luas out of a bike and six bewildered stray dogs and are currently riding it up and down Denny Street
