😔
Ciara Mageean died this morning. A light has gone out in the world. Authentic, talented, decent. Her kindness and wonderful personality was a joy to watch and see. Then came her iconic sporting achievements.
When we sat down with Ciara for the GAA Social in July, she received disappointing news the day before. Ciara didn’t want to cancel, so we recorded on the Tuesday. It’s 90 minutes Oisin & myself will always treasure. She was the best of us.
To Thomas, I’m so sorry. She was mad about you. To the Mageean family, all her great friends and the Portaferry community- what a stunning human being, to call one of your own. This is so unfair.
I’ve never met a person who met Ciara, who didn’t love her. A one off.

Crazy scenes in Argentina ahead of Lionel Messi’s farewell. The entire country is out to celebrate Messi today. 🤯🐐🇦🇷
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This aerial crowd footage is recycled from Argentina's December 2022 World Cup victory parade in Buenos Aires, when millions filled city streets and highway overpasses. Today's Messi farewell is an evening match at Estadio Monumental, not a daytime street gathering. npr.org/2022/12/21/114… en.as.com/soccer/lionel-…

Unraced pup “ SANTAS ARCADE” who turns just 19 months old today clocks a fantastic 28-62 over 480m at shelbourne park on Saturday. What makes his run more impressive was his early split of 210 which is top drawer as there was four A0-AA0 races that night and the fastest was 208!

Is there a better, more inspiring human being than Ciara Mageean? It’s one of those hours in life, that both Oisin and myself will never forget. An Irish gem
