For further detail, take last year’s post and add a year to get all the stats! Special mention to @MaeveGebruers who, as a result of a recent lightening strike, played the role of the midnight chimes this evening fresh from her appearance on TG4 and the Christy Moore documentary.
100 yrs of a treasured New Year’s Eve tradition in Cobh! My 81-year-old father in law has faithfully climbed 221 steps to the Cathedral’s 49-bell carillon for the last 54 years, following the 46-year legacy of his father before him welcoming the new year with Auld Lang Syne.
99 years of a New Years Eve tradition in Cobh. My 80 year old father-in-law has played for the last 53 yrs - his father for the previous 46. 200+ steps climbed to get to the 49 bell carillon in the Cathedral to ring in the new year with Auld Lang Syne. Happy new year everyone. – at Cork, Ireland

Promising performance by Leinster’s Metro U16’s against @RugbyGonzaga tonight, coming away with a 29-12 win. A great opportunity for club’s players to test their skills against a strong side from one of the top school’s in the country. More of this is welcomed #FromTheGroundUp

Fantastic day in Twickenham today watching the @EnglandRugby v @FranceRugby @Womens6Nations decider with @DLSPFCRugby U12 girls team on their tour to @londonirish Lots for @IrishRugby to learn from, and aspire to.
52 years of tradition for my f-i-l. 98 years when you add on his father. 49 bells (the largest almost 4 tonnes) in Cobh Cathedral banging out Auld Lang Syne, and this year the Ukrainian national anthem in solidarity with our European family. Where else would you be!
Finally got to meet the legend that is @Mick_Finnegan this evening. They say never meet your heroes but I’m glad I did. – at Dublin City, Ireland
