@nightly_moth @bobdylan So good last night

Bob Dylan played The Lakes of Pontchartrain tonight as a final song. Really that was great. Black Rider!.. That was a great Rough and Rowdy Ways Show with a fantastic audience. Thank you @bobdylan and his band.

Sickener for Brian Gleeson

Last week, Shine’s Media Programme was proud to be represented at The Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, for the annual gathering of international fellows participating in the Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellowship. The event brought together journalists from across the world to share their projects and explore how accurate, compassionate, and responsible reporting can challenge stigma and improve understanding of mental health. A huge thank you to our 2024/2025 fellows, Claire Darmody and Brian O’Connell, for their outstanding work throughout the past year and to our newly announced 2025/2026 fellow, James Wilson, who will carry this important work forward. We’d also like to thank Áine O’Meara, Shine’s Media Programme Lead, for travelling to Atlanta to represent Shine and support our fellows. We look forward to continuing this partnership with the Carter Fellowship and building on the shared mission to promote responsible, stigma-reducing mental health journalism. #CarterFellows #MentalHealthMedia

“Would I have done so well if I’d had a stroke at 3am at home? We’ll never know. For now, though, I’m glad it happened that wet morning under a scaffold in Rome. And though writing takes a lot longer, I’m really glad to be back!” - On my return to work in today’s @irishdailymail

Was delighted to join @MerchantsQuayIR CEO Eddie Mullins today for day 24 of his recovery run series running with different people to raise awareness around recovery and addiction related issues.

Have been relatively inactive on socials the last while. Despite some really positive signs this year, it’s still been tough. Regardless of the pain this game inflicts, I love absolutely everything about it and I’ll keep going. Thank you as always for the love and support ❤️
