OMG we have just won “ Best Chef Cookery Book “ in the world. We can hardly speak right now from China 🙏🙏 Ecstatic. Thank you everyone. Could not be more prouder right now. #Donegal

Sad news for our county today What an amazing legacy Moya will leave behind for our and her beloved county and country 🙏🙏 Donegal is forever grateful I’m certain of that. 🙏

Fish today? 🐟 Good Friday was always a fish day in our house, a simple tradition, but one that’s stayed with me. If you’re cooking today, this is a dish well worth trying. Fresh hake, gently softened leeks, and a perfectly poached egg. Wishing you all a peaceful Good Friday

@rtenews @BarryLenihan Well done Barry congrats and fully deserved.

Ever gracious, charismatic and inspirational, Gearoid is a huge loss to his family, his county and the hospitality industry. He and Tara spoke to me (below) last April. RIP. independent.ie/life/life-goes…

The Gary Woodland story ❤️ Winner of the Houston Open, his first win since 2019 US Open (2,478 days ago). He gave this interview a few weeks ago outlining his ongoing struggles with PTSD post-brain surgery. Worth the watch 👇

Major champion Gary Woodland had brain surgery in 2023 to remove a tumor. That tumor was pressing on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety. A year ago, Woodland was diagnosed with PTSD that resulted from his surgery. Earlier this month, he went public with his PTSD diagnosis to help himself and others. Woodland is back in the winner's circle ❤️

A positive update on @SamSzmodics. 👍 Sam has been safely discharged from hospital in Prague after sustaining a head injury during @IrelandFootball's World Cup qualifier against Czechia on Thursday evening. Following further examination and a period of observation, Sam has been discharged and will now return to the UK, where he will continue his recovery under the care of the Derby County and Republic of Ireland medical teams. 🖤💚

@dcfcofficial @SamSzmodics @IrelandFootball Great to hear this positive outcome 🙏🙏
