Straight into the Top 10! Thanks everyone!🎙️🎙️‘Think You Know…the Presidents?’ brings you behind the scenes of our 9 presidencies. Stories, scandals, sins…all there! Pic with co-host @flormaccarthy.bsky.social & our superb producer Siobhán Maguire. Thanks also @mattcooperlastword.bsky.social #Aras25

Loved speaking with @mcculld.bsky.social & Evelyn O'Rourke on @news.rte.ie Behind the Story podcast about authoritarianism, Trump, and my new book w/ @cooleyoneurasia.bsky.social Dictating the Agenda: The Authoritarian Resurgence in World Politics. In case you need weekend listening:

Terribly sad news. Saw him a few weeks ago (at Electric Picnic, of all places) and he was in the best of form. Always interesting, always polite even when disagreeing, and did the State huge service. RIP.

Our sincere condolences to Martin Mansergh’s family and friends. Martin was a great friend of UCD Archives. We will miss his warm and gracious presence in our reading room. www.rte.ie/news/2025/09... Ex-minister and FF adviser Martin Mansergh dies aged 78

Correction - Gavin posters up too (though this one isn’t particularly well placed!)

Looks like Catherine Connolly is first out with the posters…

How it started…..and how it ends. ❤️🙏 # MorningIreland

Coming this October from @ucdpress.bsky.social and historian and author Owen O'Shea The first ever county-based study of Civil War politics in Ireland How and why did the Civil War shape politics and elections in Kerry in the decade after 1923? Pre-order now: shorturl.at/56pZE

I seem to have written a buke

I posted this 7 months ago and it's only grown more relevant every day since. Which is, you know, annoying.

Loved this from @katiehannon.bsky.social So many stories! www.rte.ie/player/serie...

Finally caught up with @mcculld.bsky.social terrific Dev:Rule. More than maintained the standard of Dev:Rise. Really loved the 1973 Wizard of Oz moment.

On episode #2 of #ForTheRecord this Sunday on @rtegold.bsky.social at 6pm my #recordcollection guest is columnist, playwright and former @hotpress.com music critic, Fiona Looney. Expect #WestSideStory, #TheScratch,, #KLF, #ElvisCostello and more. #music #radio #records #vinyl #CDs #albums #singles

Opinions still divided on Dev - and on documentaries about him! You can make up your own mind - Dev:Rise + Rule is available on the @RTEplayer #DecDoc

Ding ding, round 2! Second part of Dev on @rteone.rte.ie tonight at 9.35. From Nobber to the Áras, Spike Island to Stradbally, Leinster House to London, we look at Dev’a Rule - and some of the people he dealt with along the way. #DevDoc

The second part of the 'Dev: Rise and Rule' documentary is on RTÉ One tomorrow night (9.30pm Wed, 10th), making extensive use of De Valera's papers in @ucdarchives.bsky.social with some filming taking place in the Reading Room and the wider James Joyce Library.

Yessssssss!!!!!!

Finally got a chance to watch @mcculld.bsky.social wonderful Dev:Rise. Learned so much. Looking forward to Dev:Rule - the doc, not the reality. Saw him and JFK in Dublin as a very small child.

If you missed Part One of our #DevDoc last night, it’s available on the RTÉ Player www.rte.ie/player/serie...

Captivating and fair assessment of De Valera in @mcculld.bsky.social’s #DevDoc, looking forward to the second episode in which, no doubt, an enduring part of his legacy, Bunreacht na hÉireann 1937, will feature…

Really enjoying @mcculld.bsky.social on #Dev. Nice & refreshing to hear from historians not normally seen or heard on @rte.ie

De Valera loved rugby is one of the surprising revelations in the Dev doc, fascinating deep dive by @mcculld.bsky.social 📺

Intriguing watch — @mcculld.bsky.social on De Valera See it live now, or watch it back on RTÉ Player

Robert Emmet Orpen isn’t a hero. He’s Irish, stubborn, expendable — and sent 6,000 miles west to infiltrate the Fenians. His cover is blown before he even sees a cable car. He's the man at the centre of my new book, The Red Branch.

Part one goes out tomorrow night at 9.35 on RTÉ 1, so better put a voice on part two for the following week. #DevDoc

Really looking forward to this - looks great!

Plus ca change ... (Irish print from c.1777, British Museum) a.k.a. 'notions'

Niall and myself with the very sound @mcculld.bsky.social at a certain West Cork site which we did landscape analysis on in advance of the 2022 centenary. David's new two-part documentary "Dev: Rise & Rule" kicks off next Wednesday on RTÉ 1 at 9.30pm, be sure to check it out if you can!

Now that I have your attention… heres a taste of Wednesday’s Dev documentary… vimeo.com/1114161566?s...

Released 50 years ago on this day, its eight timeless songs helped "Born to Run" cement its case as one of rock’s defining albums. 📸: Eric Meola

Hello 👋 Looking to speak to men in Ireland who are over the age of 40 and are renting, for an article please. My DMs are open or you can email me at [email protected]. Any shares, as always, much appreciated 🙏 #journorequest

Office for the day… #DevDoc

This a cracking article on the background of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Excellent local journalism - please click and read.

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

Different random woman just told me I look older in real life. Seriously, the make up department are worth their weight in gold…

Really enjoyed the wide-ranging conversation with RTÉ's @mcculld.bsky.social and @franmcnulty.bsky.social about my new book "Unfinished Empire" - and why Russia’s imperial legacy still looms large, not least in Ukraine. Listen back at www.rte.ie/radio/podcas...

Third up is RTE journalist and historian @mcculld.bsky.social with From Crown to Harp - detailing the process and evolution of the Irish Free State into the Irish Republic in less than 30 years. Looking forward to this myself . thebookshop.ie/david-mccull...

Self-promotion klaxon! Delighted that Gill Books will be publishing my new book, "From Crown to Harp", in October... how the Treaty was undone in 34 episodes! Pre-order links here: linktr.ee/mcculld

Standing room only at the launch of Cormac Moore’s excellent new book on the Boundary Commission, “The Root of all evil”. Launch by the Taoiseach.

I don't know why anyone determined to buy a book online in Ireland wouldn't get it from this place, genuinely.

Macron is speaking shortly in the Royal Gallery at Westminster, a hall lined by two murals: one of the Death of Nelson, the other of the Battle of Waterloo 🇫🇷🇬🇧

A woman came up to me at lunch and took me I look much better on the telly. Another win for the RTÉ makeup department - they work hard in fairness.
