#ThroughHerEyes
It’s my birthday today and for the longest time I celebrated it with a kind of ambiguity. As one of tens of thousands of people born in Ireland’s mother and baby homes, I had so many gaps. Where was the woman who gave birth to me? How was she? What was her name? My name?
Over the years those blanks have been gradually filled in – despite the many barriers erected by the State – and this year it seems to me that there’s nothing more important than embracing, with both hands, every single precious moment of our time on this earth.
Life is magnificent – and such fun. Look at this photo from the gifted lens of Clare Keogh. It was taken during the launch of Women on Walls, the inspiring @Accenture_Irl project that is calling on you to nominate a woman to feature in a new series of portraits at UCC. (Get nominating now, see link below)
Jess Majekodunmi is making me crack up during one of many memorable moments in a panel discussion with Nessa Lynch, chaired by Mark Little.
We were speaking about the woman we would like to see represented in a portrait at @UCC. Of course, I didn’t have just one suggestion because, partly prompted by my own experience, I’ve been excavating the often-forgotten lives of Irish women who paved the way for us. It’s been a singular privilege to meet them and be inspired by them.
How wonderful that we have this opportunity to make them more visible now. Get nominating now. accenture.com/womenonwalls
Meantime, even if it’s not your birthday, embrace this magical day. As the Mad Hatter once said, ‘A very merry unbirthday to you. Yes, you!’

Beautiful morning in Ard Carna loading up another load of lobster pots! A late start to a very challenging season ahead, inshore fishermen have to be resilient !
@NiecyOKeeffe Sorry to hear that … I had crippling facial neuralgia and found that acupuncture relived it .. I used to have to kneel down with the pain .. didn’t matter where .. just to try and change the pressure in my head 😭

Can’t put hearing aid in because of the pain, so it’s gonna be a silent enough day for me. Didn’t sleep one wink last night, so here’s hoping I can grab at least an hour.
It’s always Me vs My Ears. 🦻
