In Irish, the word for otter translates as ‘water dog’, the word for squirrel ‘tree dog’, and the word for seal ‘sea dog’.

On behalf of the Wicklow County Board, players, management, and GAA supporters across the Garden County, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mayo GAA on winning the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
To the Mayo County Board, the management team, the players, and the extraordinary Mayo supporters worldwide, your perseverance, belief, and unwavering passion over the last 75 years have been nothing short of inspiring to the entire GAA community. To stand on the summit of Irish sport after 11 final heartbreaks is a masterclass in resilience. You have proven that no matter how long or tough the road, dedication and heart will always prevail.
We also want to pass on a sincere word of thanks. When we played the Tailteann Final in Croke Park two weeks ago just before your semi final, your supporters stepped up and joined as Wicklow’s 16th man and cheered us on every step of the way, a gesture of true GAA sportsmanship that we won't forget.
A special word to our own County Treasurer, Larry Howard, a proud Mayo man through and through. God only knows when we will actually see him back in Wicklow again, but we know he’ll be celebrating every second of it!
Enjoy bringing the Sam Maguire home to the West.
Comhghairdeas ó chroí libh go léir! 🟢🔴

A funny short story about the scoreboard in Cork
📸 1: Goals and points for Ireland v Netherlands
📸 2: Realisation sinks in that seconds counter has been covered up with a bin bag rather than points
📸 3: Hurried removal of bin bag
📸 4: Bin bags moved to cover points

"The bogs, rivers, mountains, and shorelines are more than preservers of old myths, bones, and memories. They are energy banks and time sponges, and what is held within them seeks release".
A sage of our time.

We're going to do it... 💛💙
Ger Loughnane is a Clare icon. A two-time All-Star in the 1970s, he led the Banner to All-Ireland glory in 1995 and 1997. 🏆
That first title ended an 81-year wait and lit a fire in Clare hurling that changed the game forever🔥

My compliments to @RadioBrendanRTE and @thisweekrte for completely ignoring the biggest story on twitter this week. They have proved yet again that the €725m FG and FF gave them has to be repaid and they repaid some of it today. #Cowards

🚨 Some children are being left behind on spinal surgery waiting lists. @CHI_Ireland
📄 Dept of Health notes show:
✅ “Non-complex” cases → outsourced to Blackrock → surgery in 2–4 months.
⛔ “Complex” cases — like many with Spina Bifida or CP — Some wait years.
📌 21 children are “suspended” from the list for clinical reasons — a very high number. They vanish from official figures but are still waiting.
⚠️ Outsourcing to Blackrock isn’t a fair, national pathway. It’s surgeons managing their own lists. If your surgeon works there, you might be moved & treated quickly. If not — you stay stuck.
🏥 No child from Temple Street has ever been outsourced to Blackrock. What does that say about equity in this system? #LucyNugent
💡 A child with a mild curve can get surgery in months.
💔 A child with severe scoliosis can be left waiting years. @BernardGloster @CcoHse
This isn’t “prioritised by need” — it’s a system that rewards easy cases & leaves the sickest children waiting longest. @KateOFla
‼️ That’s not just mismanagement. That’s harm. @CarrollJennifer

@rtenews are coming out with any story possible to avoid the fact that #JusticeForHarvey and #ResignHarris are Trending for days. Who would have thought a 9 year old wheelchair user would ignite such an explosion 💥 And drive such fear through the heart of the establishment.

Let me be very clear, Harvey Died because of @CHI_Ireland's and Government incompetence and Ableism. I know people are trying to give us space but we are back to our fight tomorrow. And we will not rest until our beautiful son gets the justice he deserves. #JusticeForHarvey

RIP: 'Our government failed you' Young boy dies after waiting three years for surgery
Harvey Morrison (9) waited over three years for scoliosis surgery, and by the time of the surgery at the end of 2024, his curvature had reached 130 degrees. He sadly passed away on July 29 and a GoFundMe has been set up to help his family
