@EileenMagnier @rtenews You will be missed. Congratulations on making a significant life choice for yourself. Enjoy the bucket list....

Time to pack up the @rtenews mic and camera. I've decided to retire early and start on the bucket list! It's been an honour to work as NW Corr for 34 years. Sincere thanks to all who shared their stories with me & my fantastic colleagues especially all those in the regions.

@ORN_official are hosting an event in Wicklow in a few weeks. This would be a great chance to hear from key speakers from around Ireland and the UK on recreation development insights.

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath
