Awfully sad to hear of Longley's passing. The last few lines of "Ceasefire" strike an incredible emotional chord & his work is all too relevant at the moment. Ar dheis DΓ© go raibh a anam dΓ­lis.

Storm Γ‰owyn, tonight/tomorrow morning, is expected to be one of the most violent storms Ireland has experienced. Severe warning issued by Government to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and take action to protect yourself and your property.

Proud to vote this evening for the draft Programme for Government & support the return of Fine Gael to government. Stability, security & enterprise were the key themes of the evening. I look forward to what we can deliver over the next term in government.

Pleased to see inclusion of commitment to support the National Digital Research Centre (NDRC) & transfer responsibility for it to the Department of Enterprise. An important decision to support Irish start ups & one of the issues I raised with FG's PfG team.

A very positive measure announced today by Min. @nealerichmond.bsky.social that will support Tidy Towns & their important role in communities across the country.

Ireland's doing well & Irish people know it. Explains how Fine Gael & Fianna FΓ‘il were able to buck international trends in November & look set for a return to government.

Got through some good reading over the Christmas break. Some very interesting insights from Blair in his new book - particularly in his chapters on policy & the need for government's to embrace new technologies for their State's to continue to thrive.
