That’s #RTEInvestigates Thursday night

I really valued this interview I did with @miriamocal.bsky.social earlier who had interviewed Edna O’Brien herself and understand how complex she could be, and how gifted. Listen here: www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

A lot to talk about tonight! Coming up at the earlier time of 9.35 tonight…directly after the news. #Upfront #Trump @rteupfront.bsky.social

As the new government prepares to take office here, #RTÉUpfront gets political reaction to Donald Trump’s inauguration pledges. @katiehannon.bsky.social assesses the challenges ahead with Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Mairéad Farrell, Roderic O'Gorman & Marian Harkin from 9.35 on @rteone.rte.ie

In honour of John Hume's 88th birthday, here's the documentary we made with @miriamocal.bsky.social on him for Ireland's Greatest in 2010: vimeo.com/37595807?sha...

Beautiful start to 2025 as I enjoy the majestic Coomeenole Beach in my dad’s home county Kerry. Here’s to a wonderful 2025 for all.

Looking forward very much to this doc coming up tonight @rteone.rte.ie 9.35

It’s a joy&privilege this morn to be chatting to the comic genius that is Tommy Tiernan @rteradio1.bsky.social Sunday with Miriam 10am. Great music&chat too from the amazingly talented Hermitage Green.

Warmest congrats to the editors and contributors of the Atlas of the Irish Civil War published by @corkup.bsky.social in @ucclibrary.bsky.social @ucc.bsky.social. I see the labour of love these publications are and the dedication of our colleagues in the Press. Richly deserved recognition.

Someone sang The River by Joni Mitchell at a party I was at last night and I introduced them to this beautiful little gem - Snoopy ice skating to it on the soundtrack. youtu.be/aBpw3SEfJSs?...

At a family funeral in Belfast and I just walked by Gerry Conlon’s grave in Milltown Cemetery. It was a privilege to know and interview Gerry down the years. Codladh sámh Gerry.

You lot are all very sound and good craic and Florida David could not be more up for it. Definitely my favourite ever tagging mistake. Don’t mind the rest of them David. When you come to Ireland (which you must) you have to head to Kerry. Pretty much anywhere in Kerry. You can thank me later.

My mistake spawned several very funny #FloridaDave threads but this one really is glorious. The warmth and wit and the welcome takes me right back to the good old days on the Other Place. And it’s abundantly clear I could not have randomly tagged a nicer guy. #GE24

Great work last night by the entire Prime Time team 👏

Which brought Prime Time, Upfront & Six One together!

Just arrived into work to find this Election 2024 ‘bible’ on my desk - it’s an invaluable resource for all of us involved in our RTÉ Election results coverage this weekend. A huge amount of work goes into this incredible book of knowledge so hugely grateful to all involved.

The leaders of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin are focussing much of their efforts on preparing for tonight's Prime Time leaders' debate | Follow live:
