Israel v Ireland - the Irish Mirror's coverage will be different... here's why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes what feels like the biggest decisions are the easiest to make. So - despite muscle memory established over decades of covering sport, local and global - the Irish Mirror will not report on Ireland's Nations League fixtures against Israel. It was not difficult to come to this decision. And it is a decision we made, simply, because it is the right thing to do. We will report on news that unravels before and after the Israel fixtures - and heaven knows there's been no shortage of that. It
I wore my jumper like Michael O'Leary for a day - what happened next shocked me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I spent a day wearing a jumper draped over my shoulders and tied around my neck like Michael O'Leary. I now understand him. Wearing a jumper like a loosely-fitted cape was always a mystery to me. Why would a man do that? What's in it for him? It's hardly efficient. Yes, warmth would be somewhat enhanced on the back and shoulders - but what about that bulky knot bobbling over the belly? There's the danger it could slip, one snag at the back and very soon that knot is in your mouth - not a good lo
Politicians are so busy one will need help to tell them what I've written here (opens the original)
Read excerpt
APOLOGY: This column is about a politician even though it's a Saturday and neither you and me, nor the politicians, need that right now. Alas, Saturday's my column day. And sometimes - perhaps with the regularity of a full but not quite full solar eclipse - our paths cross. I think I wrote something about a politician maybe a year ago. I apologised for bringing that up on a Saturday then, and I apologise again now. It's not easy being a politician - what with all that politics they have to do -
There's barefoot hippies at Electric Picnic but something else is shocking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They're calling it "earthing" - but I'd be wary of doing "earthing" at something called Electric Picnic... Right now, Ireland is again seeing a large gathering of people in a field, the type of which you wouldn't normally see in a field. Electric Picnic is the National Ploughing Championships for people who don't know what ploughing is but write poems about it. And I'm sure Electric Picnic people are saying they've something for everybody - if you take "everybody" to mean people who shouldn't be
'A trip to the airport should have been the best part of a holiday - not hell' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The early morning drive to the airport can be the best part of a holiday - it's all ahead of you and you're moving towards it like you're moving towards dawn itself. The suitcases have been packed and placed carefully in the boot. You tried to leave space for what you might bring home, but never do. So the bags are heavy when you lift them in. Maybe too heavy for the Ryanair scales? You'll chance it. You're ready to go now either way, no point unpacking. You pat the pocket on your jacket - again
