As I woke up this morning I wondered what does Yes’ mean to those who are LGBT living in Ireland. How did they feel today, knowing they were now fully equal and accepted by their own countrymen? As luck would have it, just as I was wondering, I received an email, from my brother, (he’s … More This is what your ‘Yes’ meant.
We may be a small nation of just over four million people, but we know how to party. Tonight there will be many a party around the country, celebrating the huge Yes vote in todays referendum. It is an historic day and one I am so delighted to be part of. Today we showed the … More Proud to be Irish.
I was not going to post tonight, but I have to.

Large numbers have spent the past week listening in despair to … More I’ll have a drink while we wait!

Imagine how much of every day we hope. We hope the weather will be good, the traffic will be light, our children will grow up happy, someone will love us. Every day we fill our lives with hope. What happens when hope is taken away? I can clearly remember writing a post shortly after Daniel … More We all need hope.
Sometimes a moment comes when we realise the years have flown by. We have celebrated birthdays and are aware we are getting older but we rarely feel it… until we have children.

My country is about to be tested. In less than twenty days I will know if the Ireland I live in is the country I believe it to be. I will know if we live in a society of inclusion and equality, or if in fact we remain the country of ignorance and bigotry we … More Ireland, make me proud.
