I spoke to Radie Peat and Dan Lambert last week about the nightmare of negotiating Ireland's autism services for their 3-year-old daughter. Huge thanks to them both for sharing their experience, so many other families are facing the same impossible struggle. www.irishtimes.com/health/2025/...

Wrote about how 2024 represented a crescendo of Irish pop culture and art, Peak Ireland, and the irony that exists in the space between the global impact of Irish creativity and how the lived experience of those creating art in Ireland is often a struggle. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024...

This mess is entirely of Labour’s own making In opposition they promised to end sleaze and tighten money in politics. They could have laid out plans for this as soon as they got into office Instead they prevaricated. And this is the outcome. So depressing www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

On the Irish language revival, I wrote this piece a couple of years ago for the New York Times on some artists I felt were pushing the language forward in popular culture. Truly remarkable to witness the journeys An Cailín Ciúin and Kneecap have been on since then. An incredible era for Gaeilge.
