No thoughts head empty just the last shot of Derry girls being Granda Joe and his youngest grandchild walking out of the polling station hand in hand. The old and the young, walking together into the future of Ireland… I’m not crying you're crying

Derry Girls really said that life is not a linier series of events. The worst parts of your life can and will co-exist with the best parts&there is no telling if/when those will be. So you just have to try and make the best of every situation as it comes to you. They were right!

Paralympics coverage. Hopefully the games will inspire you & showcase what can be done even if you have a disability.

Ok on my timeline everyone’s like “the Olympics are over… now we have to wait 3 years 😭 “ Can we appreciate the Paralympics more though? Like they are about to start in 14 DAYS and honestly I’m really excited for them.

Not to be dramatic but the mess before today’s All Ireland ladies football semi final would not be tolerated in the men’s game. From switching venues twice to no TV coverage. Good luck to both teams but this has to be fixed for next year.

PSA: the Olympics is nearly over and we all got incredibly excited/entertained throughout the 15 days. So, could we try showing that same excitement for the Paralympics as well? Prove to everyone that the Paralympics deserve equal coverage, funding and excitement as the Olympics.

I’ve been single for so long that when I get a boyfriend (specifically an athlete/someone with great thighs), I won't know what to do. What do they eat? How many hours do they sleep? Do I have to take them for a walk? Do I have to put a microchip in them?

Absolutely disgusting. Every single person in that building will be valuable members of society. Those outside have contributed nothing only hate and division. This has to be stopped
Ballymun right now.
I never thought we’d see something like this in Ireland. It got very close to the building being attacked.
Imagine being inside with your children.
This is not Ireland.
This is not what we stand for.

Finally some days I feel confident in my ability to ask for the help I need. Some days I wish things were the same for me as it is for those without a disability. I keep getting back up, and I still look ahead. I know I matter. You matter. People with disabilities matter.

Think a lot of people misunderstood the piece today. I don't hate fathers of daughters, I just don't think it's fair to say your daughter was your awakening into women's lives and what women go through. It's more than sport, it's seeing women as your equals.

I dunno how many times I’ve had CR37s body shoved into my face after he scored a goal. Bit weird it’s only sexualised if it’s a woman 🤔
Removing your jersey and exposing your body just because you scored a goal doesn’t make sense at all as a woman.

One thing I’ve learned is that when you’re sexually assaulted on television at a final by your boss in front of millions people will still find a way to blame you & exonerate the perpetrator. The people who criticise women in the way they come forward need to look at our systems
