Such sad news about the death of Stephen Walker. A journalist we all admired and loved, an author of distinction and a gentleman. Someone should have told him we were meant to be rivals! Had the pleasure of working with him on our shared interest in the Great War. @BBCNewsNI
Haven't tweeted for a while but this is one of the highlights of the year. He is one of the most remarkable kids I have ever met. Great news Daitha, welcome home. itv.com/watch/news/daithi-co…
Mourne Observer to launch Down Recorder edition mourneobserver.com/mourne-ob… via @Mourne Observer
Interesting development. The Down Recorder title in Downpatrick has been saved and a new Down Recorder edition of the Mourne Observer is to be published from next week. @MourneObserver @HughCarville
Sad news with the death of Brendan Murphy, a supremely talented photographer. One of the nicest people you could ever meet. He mentored so many young people in his role as the picture editor of the Irish News.

Armagh Observatory reports that last month was drier, cooler and sunnier than average. There were three named storms during January, bringing the total number of such storms to have affected NI to a degree this 2024/2025 storm season to seven. @Louise_utv @UTVNews
Three of the famous 26 Alphabet trees at the side of Killyleagh Castle have been toppled by #StormÉowyn blocking the road. @UTVNews @DownRec

Glenshane Pass at 1030am this morning. Traffic flowing well and DFI Gritter continue to work along the route. @bbcniweather @angie_weather @barrabest @WeatherCee @VisitCauseway @TrafficwatchNI @Louise_utv @WeatherAisling
Saddest of days for us at UTV with Ken Reid's death. He was the master, a brilliant role model who set standards. When Prime Ministers talked about Northern Ireland they talked to Ken. He had the true inside track, making him probably the most trusted journalist here. @UTVNews

It’s hard to believe sometimes that our boy needs the gift of a new heart.
This Sunday night, you could give a wee bit more hope by having a #conversation about #OrganDonation.
It only takes 2 minutes to join the register. The whole family can join, regardless of age.
