The insensitivity of this article in the @IrishMirror is astounding. Written by columnist Larissa Nolan, straight talking? No, just nasty.

I won’t lie and tell you today hasn’t been difficult. A photo of me from an interview I conducted 1 year ago has circulated in a far right group, the comments are disgusting and disturbing, with one chap even telling me to ‘kill myself’ - We have to do better.

Stayed in the new house last night for the first time. Waking up this morning it finally hit me that, I’m a homeowner. After working, saving & sacrificing for the guts of 7 years. We did it!. The sense of accomplishment is real today.

If Don Rickles & Joan Rivers had a protégé it would have been @TheBiancaDelRio - she takes NO prisoners and the audience relishes every bite. A masterclass of stand up comedy. 👏🏻😍

I’ve just seen @TheBiancaDelRio @BGETheatre She is outrageous, insulting, rude, filthy & simply one of the funniest comedians I have EVER seen in my life. She had the audience enthralled from start to finish. Also, @MissSherryVine what a talent & what a voice! Great evening!❤️.

I’m sitting getting ‘dragged’ up at a Dublin hotel, about to celebrate #fingalpride . In the next room there’s Christian church choir singing about love and acceptance. The Irony is palpable. @DublinPride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️.

Watching ’For the love of Paul O’Grady’ - there really will never be another like him. A genuine, down to earth, hardworking person who never forgot his roots. A person we can all aspire to be like. 💔 #PaulOGradyRIP #PaulOGrady #teamPOG

A childhood dream came true tonight, I enjoyed every minute performing on @RTELateLateShow with the gentleman that is Michael English along with some very fine performers, I even got to shake Michael Bublés hand once again. A great day!. Next time, my eye’s are set on that sofa😍

Here, are you gay? 🙄. A question random people at gigs STILL feel they’re entitled to ask me. 1. What business is it of yours?.2. Why do people still ask this question? .3. YES i’m a raging homosexual. It’s 2022. I’ve been out for 12 years. F*ck off and let me sing. 🤦🏻♂️.

Rosie went to sleep this evening, after suffering several strokes and due to the medication her kidneys were failing. It was the hardest but most humane thing we could do. She’s back together with Roxie now, in that forever great outdoors. We are broken, our beautiful girls. 💔

An absolute JOY to host the audience warm up for Dancing With The Stars first live show of 2024. Sincere thanks to @Larbas & the incredible team @shinawil_ltd for their faith and trust. As the saying goes, when you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life ❤️ 📺 🎥

#theorville my god. Yet another sensational instalment. 9 episodes in, 9 episodes knocked out of the park. The creative team, cast and crew behind this show should be so f*cking proud. @SethMacFarlane @TomCostantino you and your teams are incredible. Congratulations. #TheOrville.

25% of all actors nominated this year are Irish, 14 Oscar Nominations and the first ever nomination for a film of Irish language, and we STILL have to deal with these stereotypes. So unfunny.

Utterly devastating news to wake up to. The world has lost a powerhouse of wit, humour and talent. I have been a fan of Paul O’Grady as long as I can remember. My earliest memories of him are as Lily Savage a fearless irrepressible character who commanded every stage she was on.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the devastating fire which ripped through The Engine Block. Two of my dear friends own Deane Motors which has been devastated. I’ve set up a GoFundMe to raise some funds as a gesture to help them. Please Share & Donate💔

Once again I hear people painting the entire population of Ballymun with the same brush. As someone who was born and raised there, I can tell you that those protesting are the minority NOT the majority. The people of Ballymun are some of the most welcoming and down to earth.

@Ginger_Trekkie If you watch the scene’s carefully when the camera pans in on the Titan in one shot the sovereign class beside it fires a blue torpedo, I’m assuming its a quantum.

I wish I could call the latest episode of #TheOrville science fiction but, it’s just sadly too relevant to things happening in today’s world. This show keeps going from strength to strength. They deserve an Emmy for this. Outstanding performances and writing.

I actually have no sympathy. Just because there’s a match on doesn’t mean the double yellows disappear. Other citizens still need to use the footpath safely.

DJing at a Communion today, yes I know riveting but, aren’t kids so inquisitive? About 6 of them up asking me questions about music, lights, how to ‘DJ’ since it started at 2. I’m happy I can answer them all on this, my LAST time DJing at a communion. 🫠

I’ve been in B&Q more times this week than I have in my entire life. I’ve now bought a pair of Snickers & a workwear gillet to complete the look of a man wandering aimlessly searching for things he doesn’t know how to use in a DIY store. 🥴.
