where no aneurysm was found, TG. In The Beacon again for more. Day 6 of intense brain pain. Nurses, ambulance drivers, etc., ARE angels.
18 institutions out of over 100 chosen. Despite several appeals, St. Patrick's Guild, the biggest adoption agency, which also arranged US and illegal adoptions, was excluded. Illegal adoption was excluded. 500 people testified out of over 100k

And if Dee is aware and OK with it, who else could possibly have an issue? You have only spoken positively about your gorgeous children, and with respect towards Dee.
So, my sudden and severe headache last night is being investigated. They’re checking for a brain bleed or did they say ‘a bleedin’ brain’? Maybe it was the excitement of the WIN! Lovely lumbar puncture in the morning. Sorry I couldn’t stay longer at the

to celebrate
Thanks for all the lovely messages since I went into hospital with a brain bleed a few weeks ago. Out now and (Abby)normal service will resume shortly.
I'm having a ball going through archive of Rosemary Smith for my documentary 'The Fast and The Fabulous'.
This clip is from 'What's my Line?' in the US in 1965, the year she won the International Tulip Rally outright.
The panel loves her, and why wouldn't they?

I think that’s what’s being missed. This is a present-day scenario, affecting normal people. It’s portrayed as being way in the past for marginalized society, but it’s our friends, colleagues, cousins, etc., with jobs, families, mortgages, who just need to know who they are.
Amazing night last night at the

Delighted that

is repeating ‘The Killing of Fr. Niall Molloy’ starting next Tuesday. It bears a second viewing to try to understand what went on. And it’s not over yet.
@MolloyCampaign
‘The Killing of Fr. Niall Molloy’ Episode 1 is repeated tonight at 11.35 on

Loads of things in the pipeline, so I'll be updating y'all soon. 🙏
It’s hard to believe a mother has to make a video and post it on Twitter to get an education for one son, in order to protect the other. Common sense and compassion too much to ask?
It's funny how the reasons given for not having a Commission of Investigation are exactly what a COI would resolve: 'reluctant' witnesses compelled to speak under oath, retired Gardai explain where the evidence disappeared to. It's an open case.
#FrNiallMolloy
Hopefully, now that there is renewed interest in the case, and outrage at the injustice, there will be proper action taken so the Molloy Family will get the answers they, and
#FrNiallMolloy
deserve. It's still an open case, and there are many more like it.
Today I will be asking the Minister for Justice to establish a commission of investigation into The Killing of Fr Niall Molloy in a topical issue on the floor of the Dail.

Yes, it was. So why was it so difficult for your government to grasp first time around? This is their doing, not ours. Run along now.

You may need to watch it again to believe what went on. Even this photo is significant to the story, if you look closely.

@patnugent1984
Pat was my brother in law. He was killed in Bunratty in 1984. We still have no truth or justice surrounding his death. We are awaiting the publication of a report on an inquiry into the Garda investigation.
@Jenni4Canesten
They were clients of mine when I worked in advertising. The most obnoxious, unreasonable, dishonest, disloyal people ever. Another branch of the family but they caused unbelievable trouble. I had to go legal.

@CorkCoypu
You might be ok if it’s more or less 24 hours later. Depends on how much rooting and digging has to be done. I know someone who got an infection straight away and their face swelled up. Like the Elephant Man. Which your profile pic reminds me of.
@LindaOkaythen
I covered this in
#AdoptionStories
many times. And the Commission refused to include illegal adoptions in its remit. Look out for my documentary on this, coming soon.
@BBCScotland
This is such and incredible programme, just like last year’s investigation by the police in Scotland. Apart from unprecedented access, the weaving of the story and the humanity of the professionals involved is masterful.

we meet more remarkable staff and patients, including Fergus, Rachel, Ray & Aoife, Stephanie, The Byrne Boys, and a final catch up with Fraser & Orlagh. Another eye-opening episode at 9 on

Reeves' baby boy was illegally adopted in 1961 and she spent decades pleading for information. When they discovered 'Adoption Stories' was broadcasting her story, the authorities reunited them. More to come in 'Nobody's Child' documentary soon.
Mr Justice David Keane today refused to accept character references submitted on behalf of a man who raped and sexually abused three children over three decades ago, after hearing that the referees were not present in court.
@BetterCallSaul
The worst thing about all of this is that’s there’s only one episode left. I am bereft. Such an incredible series that deserved more attention and accolades.

So I have a bit of news.After spending years wanting to write an in-depth book about the disappearance of Philip Cairns in 1986, I finally have. The Boy Who Never Came Home is out October 28th. You can pre order now from

The happiest of Happy Birthdays to the incredible Rosemary Smith. If you aren’t aware of her many Motorsport achievements around the world, read her book ‘Driven’. Amazing story.

Hey, I got a notice yesterday that you followed me. Which means you unfollowed me, saw the error of your ways, and re-followed. Did you think I wouldn’t notice? Did you think I’d be ok with that?

broke many stories years before they became headlines elsewhere. His voice was the only one for ages, even when it seemed nobody was listening. He set the standard. Well done all.
A COI would compel ‘reluctant’ witnesses to speak, not everyone is dead, the evidence is missing and despite the passing of time the case is still open. A COI is a legal process that has the power to fix the findings of the McGinn Report, so why not do it?

Proof there’s life after death. ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ on TV, with Alf’s favourite character, Ruprecht. Couldn’t be clearer.
#AlfMcCarthy
@MccarthyAlf
And yet, there is a solution. Why are they not going to pursue a Commission of Investigation and see justice done? The computer says ‘No’, lack of understanding, or the precedent it would set for so many other cases?
