An amazing day yesterday as I was called to the Bar of England and Wales by @HonSocGraysInn. A lovely day celebrating with friends and family!

A St. Patrick’s Day to remember! ☘️ The Ireland–U.S. bond runs deep—an emerald thread running through 250 years of American history. 🇮🇪🇺🇸 A privilege to accompany Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD at the White House and on the Hill to celebrate our nations’ enduring friendship.

What a horse. What a jockey. 💛💜

That’s what makes this sport so very special. Lossiemouth loves Cheltenham. She travelled better than she has ever travelled and quickened away to win so impressively with her head in her chest. A pleasure to be here.

😍 This picture probably doesn’t capture it but, genuinely, there is no better sporting amphitheatre. The place is ready to come alive tomorrow. ⁦@CheltenhamRaces⁩ at its very best

Amongst all the excitement, the main hope is, as always, that every horsebox that arrives at Cheltenham leaves just as full. Best of luck all!

The trail hunting ban pledge has resurfaced. Fans and participants of NH racing, please read my piece in the @TheOwnerBreeder about the potentially devastating knock-on effect for point-to-pointing the wider NH scene. Shares much appreciated! theownerbreeder.com/stories/worryi…

Published in the Irish Times six years ago. I always think of this letter at this time of year. So moving.
