@KabutoKing_ Raging bout the page of stamps I was sent 2005/6 and lost

If you think Pokemon will be relevant in 20 years, it would be wise of you to own some vintage. Study sports cards, own the best names in the best condition possible. You will be rewarded dearly.

42 years ago, Brian Mór and I rented a sign in Times Square during the Christmas season to send a holiday greeting to IRA prisoners of war. For one day, it went viral—back when “viral” Now, thanks to the doc NORAID: Irish America and the IRA, that moment will live on forever.

Books starting to arrive. More artwork and sign installed. Starting to look 🔥 Anyone want to take a peak before it opens? Was thinking of extending the free coffees for whistleblowers to troublemakers & students in general, or maybe €2?

@paddycosgrave I took a night classes in #Russian while an art student in Limerick early ‘80’s, deep roots

Irish Times: “What would happen if Russians landed at Shannon and took over the airport” Wow Irish Times, between this & your totally not fake drone hysteria, I’m now convinced we need to give Lockheed Martin billions & send our kids off to die in war. Very convincing.

The Fidel Castro meeting room in The Whistleblower is now complete. More rooms yet to do. Opens in January on South Anne Street. We hope to hold regularly debates & discussions with writers, philosophers and trouble makers. Getting excited now. 💪🏽 ♥️

This unexpected clip warmed my heart 💗 Making John’s black tweed #Aran hoodie (his 2nd) with tweaks! Somehow connects me to #WolfTone & better again to #MatildaTone Who was remarkable! & again we didn’t learn about her at school in Ireland 🇮🇪 #IrishPatriot #Brooklyn

Tributes have been paid to the renowned Irish fashion designer Paul Costelloe, who has died at the age of 80. He was one of the most established names in Irish and British fashion, and for 15 years was personal designer to Princess Diana. Rory O'Reilly looks back.

@roryoreilly_ Thank You For connecting today re @bbcnewsline Nice Tribute 🕯️ @BBCiPlayer #PaulCostelloe

Thank You 🙏 @BBCRadioFoyle for calling me this morning! Good start to a Monday and my daughters birthday 🎁 Happy Birthday 🎈 Emma Elizabeth

So cute…my youngest brother Karol Emmett reckons in his earliest memories of ‘our house’ the name #PaulCostelloe is imprinted in memory! It was a thing- no wonder- as it was handknit production central! Yet only in line after #NeilArmstrong #Elvis in that order #PaulCostelloe

Please y’all @rte it’s with a E Costelloe #PaulCostelloe Spelling matters. Names matter.

Deeply saddened to hear Paul Costelloe has died after a short illness. Since meeting him as the external examiner 40 years ago in Limerick, working with him on men’s and ladies collections #knitwear I blame him for everything - 🙏 Adieu Maestro & gentleman 💔 #PaulCostelloe
