We move to phase 3 on Mon 29th June. Very low levels of #COVID19. What worries me most now is travel from overseas and I fear many planning foreign trips. 2020 is a year for a staycation. Stay in Ireland, spend locally and follow public health advice. @roinnslainte @HSELive – at South Dublin, Ireland

I spent a lot of time in the graveyards of Sydney & Melbourne visiting Irish graves. Irish epitaphs engraved without translation is normal, beautiful and respectful.
Condolences to the family of Margaret Keane of Coventry caught up in this uneducated political nonsense.

The next 7 days are vital. Now is the time to #FlattenTheCurve.
Every one of us must play our part;
1. Reduce your social contacts – see only a handful of people in your network
2. Distance yourself 2 metres from people in shops & supermarkets

On The History Show this evening - ‘War in The Shadows.’ An in-depth look at the Intelligence War during the Irish War of Independence, and how Collins cultivated a network of moles and informers in key areas of the British administration.
A huge thank you to the #crosscycle team for dropping in on their nationwide cycle for #CancerResearch. Continued best wishes on a great initiative and we look forward to seeing you again next year! @Gordonwdarcy @finbarwalsh

This day 105 years ago – 25 April 1914 – around 25,000 rifles were smuggled into Larne, Co. Antrim in order to arm Ulster Volunteers opposed to Home Rule.
The weapons were bought from Imperial Germany.
Major Frederick H. Crawford of the British Army was the principal organiser.

This day 99 years ago – 25 March 1920 – the first Black and Tans arrived in Ireland.
Winston Churchill is credited for suggesting “a force of 8,000 old soldiers be raised at once to reinforce the R.I.C. [police]” against the IRA, though this has been disputed by some historians.
