What a fantastic day with Na Magha Hurling Club yesterday! 🏑👏
Brilliant organisation, great activities for the kids and clubs getting to play teams they wouldn't normally meet.
Grassroots sport and community spirit at its very best.
Well done to everyone involved! 💚

“Wouldn’t it be wile to die asking yourself the question: what did I do with my life?
“Wouldn’t it be terrible if the answer was I did nothing. I would like to think I made a bit of a difference.”
From campaigning on the streets for civil rights to standing up for the people of Derry at Stormont, Pat McArt discovers that even at the age of 91, Mary Nelis hasn’t lost her fighting spirit.

Breandán Mac Cionnaith of Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition speaking to The Derry News (@DerryNow ) following British Secretary of State Chris Bryant's (@RhonddaBryant) decision to ban the Orange Order parade down the Garvaghy Road.
I asked Breandán how he reflected on the past two weeks & what he thought the ideal outcome to the situation would be?

There will be a lot of talk about the rule of law and how that has been undermined. But the real lesson is the power of popular and disciplined nonviolent action and how effective that is. Well done to the Garvaghy road residents!

Breandán Mac Cionnaith is 68 years old. 🇮🇪
In the past two weeks he has stood on the front line facing down the Orange Order, The PSNI, The Secretary of State, The British Government, all of the sectarian Unionist Party's, the media, and just about every single other person on the planet who threatened the peace of the Garvaghy Road community that he loves so much...
Ireland has always had it's heroes. Warriors who led from the front. Who never gave an inch...
Breandán is a rebel. And tonight that rebel has led his people to victory...
Go raibh maith agat Breandán...
✊🇮🇪
