Honoured to have launched the Ground Zero 9/11 exhibition at the new Dunbrody Famine Ship exhibition centre in New Ross #Wexford last night. An utterly heartbreaking story of bravery and heroism, told expertly. A must visit in New Ross this month.

A column I wrote about the importance of remembering victims and the dark times when Ireland's innocence was stolen, (in part by clerical sex abuse), following a series of articles on paedophile priest, Sean Fortune. 👇 m.independent.ie/regionals/wexf…


In the fifth part in the series 25 years on from the death of Sean Fortune, campaigner @Colmogorman highlights his battle against the Vatican and Catholic Church for truth, following his abuse by the infamous cleric. m.independent.ie/regionals/wexf…


Part 4 in the Sean Fortune series outlines the role the media played in shining a light on the breaking clerical sex abuse scandal in #Wexford, which shook the Catholic world, ultimatey leading to the resignation of a Bishop and numerous court cases. 👇 m.independent.ie/regionals/wexf…


The most difficult story to hear and report on. The third in a continuing series of articles on the darkest period in modern #Wexford history and a reminder that we must never forget victims and our collective past. Trigger warning. m.independent.ie/regionals/wexf…


A story from a victim-led series on the dark legacy of #Wexford priest Fr Sean Fortune and Church and State authorities, running in the Irish Independent and regional titles 👇 m.independent.ie/regionals/wexf…


RIP #AlexeiNavalny Bravery personified. The terrible price of leading any opposition in barbaric Russia.

They killed him, because even in jail he threatened a regime that thrives on lies and secrets theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…
