I had a lump in my throat when I took this photo of Henry, a 16 year old Terrier who whose family died in a suspected murder suicide this week. Any pet owner will know that dogs are capable of feeling a profound sense of grief and loss which Henry is no doubt experiencing (1/2)

Despite having to cover the horrific tragedy in Cork, I have never found a community to be so hospitable and kind. One family who I never met from outside Mitchelstown wouldn't let me leave their home without giving me a bag full of food and drink for the road back to Dublin.

Had a very nasty fall off my bike on my way to work today. Absolutely gutted having broken a few of my teeth but luckily that's as serious as it gets. I'm so thankful to the 5 people who literally gave me their coats of their backs to keep me warm while waiting on the ambulance.

News stands like this are definitely doing the newspaper industry a great disservice. They completely defeat the purpose of an eye-catching headline, making it impossible to get the gist of a story unless you physically flip the paper over.
