When I was 10 my mother sent me to Superquinn for bread in bakery. I was too small to be seen over counter & failed in task. She mentioned it to Feargal Quinn when she met him in Blackrock. A week later they’d wooden lollipop signs with “I’m shopping for my Mum”😀

Went up to look at the stolpersteine (stumbling stones) that were recently unveiled in Dublin 8 in memory of Irish victims of the Holocaust. They are placed outside St. Catherine's National School where Ettie Gluck attended as a child - she was murdered in Auschwitz in 1942.
It has been an incredibly difficult few days for our family but the support of friends, relatives and the kind words from those right across the political spectrum have meant a huge amount to us. We gave my Mum a fitting send off today.

Can I watch the match on TV?
No, but you can watch George Clarke's Remarkable Renovations on RTÉ2 at 8pm: 'George meets Peter and Julia, who ran their local post office. Now the business has closed, they are renovating the building'
Where can I watch the Shamrock Rovers v Celje Europa League qualifier? Details on match tickets, online stream, opponents in the next round and the money at stake.
90 mins to kick off of the 2022 World Cup. Before then we will have the opening ceremony, everyone tuning in to watch BTS’ Jung Kook perform Dreamers yeah? I’ll be dropping updates in

Super support all along the way 👏
Big up Castleknock, Chapelizod, Dolphins Barn, Walkinstown, Terenure, Milltown and Roebuck.
Thanks to everyone who gave me a cheer along the way, loads of Hoops fans, but thanks also to Bohs & Pats fans for the shout outs!

Some say teenagers are too preoccupied these days with the iPhones and iPads. 📱Maybe true as 16-year-old ‘keeper Gavin Bazunu watched back this season’s Cork City penalties on the Rovers team bus to Cork earlier. His peno save earned

The Hoops make history. 31 unbeaten league games in a row.
No team has managed that in the 100 years of the League of Ireland.
Shamrock Rovers record:
Played 31 Won 25 Drawn 6 Lost 0 Goals For 67 Goals Against 12.
Shamrock Rovers equalise the all-time League of Ireland unbeaten record. Their 30 games undefeated equals the run of the 1927 Rovers side. Stephen Bradley's team are now P30 W24 D6 L0 F64 A12.
And here we are going to get it folks, Graham Burke is coming on to become the first League of Ireland player to be capped since Joe Gamble back in 2007. Burke becomes the first

player to pick up an Ireland cap since Pat Byrne in 1986.
Wheels up on Air Force One, which has begun its six-hour journey from outside Washington to Belfast. White House has confirmed that, as expected, Jill Biden is not in the travelling party.
Very sad to hear the news about the death of Bobby Best who documented the highs and lows of following Shamrock Rovers. He was really helpful to me on a couple of projects. Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís.
Sad news to share this morning with the passing of lifelong Hoop and longtime club volunteer photographer, Bobby Best.
Always there, smiling and friendly, Bobby was known at LOI grounds up and down the country, a stalwart for Shamrock Rovers.
May he rest in peace 💚

Shamrock Rovers make it back-to-back away wins and earn their fourth victory over Bohs in the last five Dublin derbies. After eight games, the Hoops are now on 11 points - one behind their tally at this stage in 2010 when they won their first title as a Tallaght based club.

playmaker Jack Byrne at the Ireland camp yesterday. “Without Shamrock Rovers I wouldn’t be sitting here. I love the club. I love playing for the club. The manager has been unbelievable”
Shamrock Rovers are the League of Ireland champions!
They win their 18th title by only playing 14 games but Bohs losing at home for the first time this century to Finn Harps has handed the Hoops the title.
Oh and Cork City are relegated.
