Profound sadness on hearing that Jack Charlton has passed away. A good man who did so much for Irish soccer and left an indelible mark on our national story. May he rest in peace.
Terrible news of the sudden death of Robert Fisk. Robert was one of the great journalists, a brave and passionate man, totally committed to truth and justice. May he rest in peace.

(2/2) I intend to focus on my podcast The Stand which is flourishing and has had over 2.3 million listens since we started. That’s where my energy will now be devoted.
In my 40 years with RTÉ, I made many good friends and I wish them the very best for the future.
Desperately sad that Alan McLoughlin has passed away aged 54. An outstanding footballer who scored one of the most important goals in Irish soccer history. Widely respected as a good pro. Deepest condolences to his family and friends from all at The Stand.
Two episodes today based around the upcoming 8th Amendment Referendum.
First, John Waters made his case for a No vote before he left the studio abruptly:
Second,
@UnaMullally
for the Yes side who chats at length about the issue
Very sad to hear of the passing of Nobby Stiles. A delightful man and a great player. Condolences to his wife Kay and the family. May he rest in peace.
We were very happy to give Eamon Dunphy the James Joyce Award. His address touched on the opportunities that education offers, what he’s learned throughout his career and how he (like many) failed to finish Ulysses.

(1/2) Two years ago, I decided not to renew my contract with RTÉ Sport. At the time, they prevailed upon me to stay and, in fact, offered me a rise, a small one, to do so. However, before the World Cup I told them this time, I would be leaving.
After a wonderful holiday we’re delighted to be coming back on Tuesday with John Giles and Liam Brady reflecting on a dramatic start to the new
#PremierLeague
season. Thanks for all the emails and birthday wishes over the last weeks, they were much appreciated.
The Stand has exceeded one million streams this month.
We're delighted with our figures. I’d like to thank our team, our listeners, our contributors, and our sponsor
@TescoIrl
