It was a pleasure to be invited to talk in @StPatsCollege today to Year 14s who are completing the SEARCH programme. This looks at thinking about life after school. Great work being done by school especially on the week of World Mental Health Day. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

At times this is a hard listen but I'm in awe of Oran's honesty about his struggles with alcohol and gambling and how he's trying to help other people now through the Project Hope and Beyond Instagram.

Blood cancers are the most common among children here. 1% of adults in the north are on the stem cell register. It takes two minutes, it's painless and you could be saving a life, as Jack McKenna did. Please sign up and share #GAA

Sad to see a player of such talent forced into this decision at a young age. But the mind and body comes first👏💪

A mighty athlete who should be respected for whatever decision he makes in the future. To come back from a torn ACL in 2017 and win man of the match in 2018 final is a phenomenal statistic on its own. There is more than football aswell just remember.👏🙌
Jack McCaffrey has stepped away from inter-county football and may not return.

Excellent article today by @CahairOKane1 in the Irish News. Hits the nail on the head. The fact of the burden on club managers to take temperature checks on players and questionnaire. From my own experience being involved in a minor management team, it’s a lot to ask👏👏

Today I past through the 14 week barrier of my 3rd ACL reconstruction. I have seen the importance of life especially in the uncertain times . Sport isn’t the be end and end all for me anymore. I’m just happy to be still giving the chance to do normal things. @CKConnollyknee 👏👏
Have a wee listen folks. Share it on and get the message out there. Things will get better🙌💪#PHB

GAA is a secondary importance when innocent lives are being lost. GAA will still be here when this is over. People need to remember that and chill out. Look after yourself and relax your mind and body. The GAA could possibly sort out the calendar in their spare time🙌#PHB
