How many metropolitan Deputy Mayors can be found picking litter on a Saturday morning? I often spot @donnacooney1.bsky.social cleaning Clontarf seafront in her Tidy Towns top and @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social bag on weekends. Credit where it’s due!

I can’t see why the seafront greenway has been blocked as there is no construction on the cycle lane or pedestrian lane. The initial fencing around the construction site left the greenway clear…

One of the pleasures of my job is in watching my former @dublincityuni.bsky.social students blossom and build on their university experience. Delighted to catch up today with Katy Anna Mohan at Google, where she is Principal International Growth Consultant.

This is the kind of @dublincityuni.bsky.social PhD graduation photograph you get when your topic is about three centuries of the impact and significance of the puppet theatre in Ireland!
Thanks to Brid Horan and @dairekeogh.bsky.social for humouring me and to Kyran O'Brien for capturing the moment.

My DCU @dublincityuni.bsky.social research on Eugene Lambert, puppetry and Ireland's television service forms the lead article in the latest issue of Éire-Ireland. From Carta Hudaí and Murphy agus a Cháirde to Wanderly Wagon, his contribution to @rte.ie was remarkable.
