Nearing the end of my radiation therapy for cancer. Chorus of birds in my garden cheering me on. (Not for nothing of course - I feed them regularly). It will be great to be back to normal.

@SenDavidNorris Well done Sir! I remember your wonderful lectures to us in Trinity in the 1970s, delivered with humour and great humanity in support of human rights for all.

Glad to help @PWSAI raise awareness of Prader-Willi Syndrome, a complex genetic disorder causing low muscle tone, restricted growth, learning difficulties, problem behaviours, and chronic hunger that can lead to excessive eating and life-threatening obesity #PWSAwarenessMonth

This campaign starts in May in Ireland and the UK to raise awareness of the impact of Huntington’s disease on the individuals and families. The disease targets nerve cells, changing a person’s movement, behaviour and cognition.  There is no cure and very limited treatment options

As we approach #HDAwarenessMonth, we are delighted to be working with our colleagues across the UK and Ireland on the #FamilyMatters campaign. Sometimes we are #StrongerTogether. Find out more here: tinyurl.com/4dyd5f3p @HDA_tweeting @HDAI_ie @ScottishHD @NI_RDP @CarersNI

Very sorry to learn of the death of my old pal Desmond Guinness. Without his heroic efforts a lot of Georgian Ireland would have vanished

Look, even if you believe an event is not in breach of guidelines so you attend and you see 80 people - you run like Hell. One rule for all #golfgate

Senate meeting in the Convention Centre. It’s enormous. Much bigger than the Gaiety and without the atmosphere - but the health of the nation takes precedent.
