So Joe Duffy will be on the Late Late Show. That's great. He's a man who we don't hear much about. 🥱

Is the Press Next? Sooner or later, dictators shut down the free press. In America, that might not be so easy, but it pays to be prepared.

Bill before Dáil to name children’s hospital after pioneering Mayo doctor | Connaught Telegraph A Bill is coming before the Dáil to name the national children’s hospital after Mayo native Dr. Kathleen Lynn.

Name the new National Children’s hospital after the great Dr Kathleen Lynn - a bill to be introduced to the Dáil. I would sincerely hope this would have cross party, even unanimous, support. She more than deserves this honour #speirgorm www.con-telegraph.ie/2025/04/21/b... to
