30 years in Sligo, always from Dundalk via Dublin LA Maputo and Luanda. Family, football, trail running, Kodak moments and staying above the soil
This is just the saddest news. My heart goes out to Glen’s loved ones. He was such a shining light.
With broken hearts we announce the passing of Glen Hansard in the early hours of this morning.
We are still dealing with the shock of it all, so we kindly ask that the privacy of Glen’s family, colleagues and friends is respected at this difficult time.

Drogheda United section thought it was a good idea to launch a flare attack on the new Astro in Oriel tonight. Unbelievable stupidity. Absolute idiots. Hope their own club call them out

This is just superb and will resonate for anyone with a parent or loved one living with Alzheimer’s.
‘Alzheimer’s is such a loaded word. We renamed it Ally-Zee – we wanted to disempower it’

The medical appointment that confirmed my mother’s diagnosis was brief; there’s no intensive treatment regime to follow, no chance of a cure

Ira Glass and the This American Life team consistently produce superb, diverse, thought-provoking stories that resonate and reach across continents. Saxophones in Dublin, taxi drivers in Vegas, bus turning left for Florida, phone calls from Gaza, a father teaching a son to shave. extraordinary work.
Before he was a renowned storyteller, “This American Life” host Ira Glass was once a boy magician in Baltimore. This is his story in three acts. https://buff.ly/42axcLT

The last weekend of canvassing ahead of #GE24. If we want to see successful 🇮🇪 teams again on the world stage, we need to tackle these 3 key issues. That's why we need the next government's support to help us create a sustainable player development model for our young people.
