Terence MacSwiney died in a London prison cell on October 25, 1920, after 74 days without food, and his long public dying turned a local arrest into a global indictment of British rule in Ireland. bit.ly/3UGoIea

Due to popular demand 🤣, here’s the annual tweet of the recipe for my late mother #NualasChristmasCake. Christmas Day was her birthday too, so that cake often had candles as well!
Thank you for sharing @wmarybeard @NCH_Music
Ave Domina What a pleasure to hear @wmarybeard in person in Dublin and to present her with a copy of my new novel #SyracuseWillBurn Erudite and entertaining as ever. If you get the chance, do go to hear her.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know an awful lot about Joanne McNally until recently, but I’m really enjoying watching her on Celebrity Traitors UK! And now seeing her on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is brilliant. Always great to see an Irish talent making waves across the water and bringing a bit of Irish humour to the world. Fair play to her! 🇮🇪
Here’s my caricature of Joanne. Hope you like it!

NEW: The man who organized Thursday’s Oval Office prayer with 12 Catholic bishops resigned as a university dean in 2022 after faculty accused him of misrepresenting his education and called him a “con artist.”
A senior Vatican official told me the gathering was “a highly inappropriate meeting and an insult to Pope Leo.”
Archbishop Paul Coakley, president of the U.S. bishops’ conference, was “deeply frustrated” by the meeting, a source close to him told The Pillar. thelettersfromleo.com/p/heri…

It’s a good policy for anything. No promo is better than an average promo. No poster is better than a bad poster.

Performing with the Lithuanian Symphonic Wind Orchestra at the 🇱🇹 National Philharmonic was acclaimed Irish uilleann piper Mark Redmond. 🎵
