Eoin English Irish Foreign Ministry Unbelievably impressive, Irish Foreign Ministry! 🇮🇪🥳

Mine’s long forgot it was supposed to have a harp on it. But it’s clearly been having a good time going round the houses.

Sophie Grenham 🇭🇰🇮🇪 Occasionally pass Bono’s son on the street. Nice guy, last time he was eating a sandwich. It was sunny, I had the windows down, and by awful coincidence was blasting U2. Wanted to die.

Pádraig Belton Fesshole 🧻 I’m sure you’ve seen it but this thread of Irish fashion critiques is a wonderful thing.

Pádraig Belton Fesshole 🧻 The Irish nickname can be both beautiful and harsh

Fascinating #geopolitics insights from guest speaker Nigel Inkster, CMG, former director of operations and intelligence at the Secret Intelligence Service, otherwise known as MI6. Thanks to Pádraig Belton and Westminster Strategic Studies Group.

I threw myself into a taxi and the next Dublin flight (covered in grout!) - the Aircoach kindly added a new first stop that day. At Holles Street.

Two weeks to London. Made a WhatsApp for my starting wave - we've so far found 21 lovely, amazing runners, from all over. Rachel from Belfast writes 'I know we want a specific time but many would love just a place. I know many would just love to run 5k'. A wave's become a team.…
