As shocking as the events that happened last night were, burning buses and attacking innocent people in our city of different ethnic backgrounds is wrong. Most of these are good working people and are here legally. Stop the madness.

A very cool/scary thing to be asked to do some voice roles for this as I have never done voice-acting before. One of the roles was Michael Collins, so I suitably shat my pants.
Really enjoyed playing a tiny part in it. It’s an incredible story. Hope you enjoy it too.

"It's baffling to me, how...it is controversial or contentious or objectionable that someone suggests...do you know what maybe let's not play football against them.
Maybe instead of playing a match against them, maybe let's not play a match."

Didn’t see this live, just saw people giving out about it.
I don’t mind it at all. I’d imagine Joanne and Dónal Óg get on well off air and have enough trust in each other to feel comfortable pushing these buttons.
It’s kinda normal human chat instead of the usual wooden crap.

Donal Óg & Joanne sure know how to make things awkward, Joe Canning being the peacemaker 🫢 so easy to get under Donal Óg’s skin tho 😂

You’re a sick fuck, Rory McIlroy. A sick fuck.
I can’t do this every year.
I’ll happily do this every year.

It’s not all on the head coach, clearly, but the one thing Clayton McMillan vowed to do upon his appointment was raise Munster’s ‘floor’. Heading for a 10th defeat in 14 games, and a fourth proper pummelling of the season. Floor has never been lower in the professional era.

Vincent Hogan has written a beautiful piece on his friend Michael Lyster. Well worth your time.

I wrote a piece a couple of weeks ago about why we love sport — why we put ourselves through it, why we talk about it, why we write about it.
It was an erroneous piece. Sport can go to hell. I hate it actually

Guinness on sale in the away end, 2,000 Irish fans in the home end. It’s been a psychological domination so far. We’re lethal

Spent Friday as a fly on the wall for what would transpire to be Michael Conlan’s final fight.
Very few elite sportspeople in this day and age would give a journalist the level of access afforded to me, especially on such a pivotal night.
Hope you enjoy what came of it.

Bit of a personal piece on protecting memories with those we’ve lost, the feeling of validation when your dad is into something that you’ve passed upwards to him, and a Saturday spent covering rugby and boxing which reminded me, eh, why we do any of this

Some of the greatest scenes we’ve ever seen in the Six Nations, and possibly the greatest Six Nations we’ve ever seen.

New Scrubs is perfect. So glad it seems to have been done for the right reasons and it stands up to the original. And just so nice to have it back

Cillian Murphy’s quiet ‘up Cork’ is probably the most animated you’ll ever see him off-screen.
We say that to ourselves 12-15 times a day, but nice to catch it on camera at the same time

Those kinds of jokes about Cillian will never die jsjsjsjsjjs and UP CORK!!!
