Great fun at @ucc.ie today, launching our 26th season in style. Good luck to all. #FPL @officialfpl.bsky.social

Looking forward to an exciting season with Lakewood Athletic F.C. 💙♥️⚽.

Only five short months to go now! It's getting really close. Time to start preparing. 🎅🎉🎄🤶🎁☃️ #ILoveChristmas

If you can, please support this event by attending and/or donating. All proceeds go to @imnda.bsky.social. One of our managers, Tomás Tyner, is bravely battling MND with courage, grace and humour. See you on 25 July ⚽. @echolive.bsky.social @damianboylan.bsky.social @ucc.ie @ucclibrary.bsky.social

Back at it ... ⚽ 💪

July has arrived, so attention will soon turn to #FPL and our 26th season. Will the game launch the week after the World Cup final? We are already gathering super prizes for the season ahead. If you are a staff member at @ucc.ie you really should consider joining! #Season26

We are SO close now! Just 6 months to go. It's time to start thinking about it. #ILoveChristmas ⛄🎅🎁🎉🤶🎄

My 1st book, 'Philip Monahan - A Man Apart' was launched 20 years ago today in Cork City Hall. We had a special evening, which meant the world to my Dad and Dick Haslam, both now sadly passed away. Minister Dick Roche, officially launched the book with Lord Mayor, Deirdre Clune. @ucc.ie

Congratulations to @damianboylan.bsky.social on his election as Lord Mayor of Cork.

Happy 22nd wedding anniversary to the one I love 💒. We'll celebrate properly in healthier times. ❤️ #WeGotThis #LUL4Ever

Happy 18th birthday 🥳 to Adam! He ate cake first and then registered to vote 😀. #COYG

Great work by Emmanuelle, meeting MEPs in Brussels to promote 'Key to the EU'. She received a wonderful response and even got to lift the elusive Liam MacCarthy Cup! @ucc.ie @joh2024.bsky.social @jfcryan.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu @europarl.europa.eu @theresareidy.bsky.social 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

16 years since you left us, Dad, but you are remembered and loved each and every day 💔.

We think that Brian Turner was delighted and relieved to win his first monthly league title. No longer the bridesmaid ... #Season25 #FPL @ucc.ie @officialfpl.bsky.social

A whopping 20-page Issue 911 of OFF THE WOODWORK to wrap up Season 25. Thanks to everyone for playing and making it an immensely enjoyable season. We hope to do it all again, starting in August. Enjoy the summer ⛱️. #Season25 #FPL @officialfpl.bsky.social @ucc.ie

A heartfelt letter from our Wooden Spoon winner 💖. #Season25 #FPL @officialfpl.bsky.social 😀

⚽ 25 seasons. ⚽ 233 monthly leagues. ⚽ 99 different monthly champions. Will we have #100 next season?

There are only 7 months to go, and I'm feeling the excitement. It's time to start getting ready for the big day. 🎅🎄🎁🎊🤶🎉 #ILoveChristmas

Issue 910 of OFF THE WOODWORK is out, with the PL champions on the cover 🏆. We review the League Cup final, reveal competition winners, discuss Salah's social media outburst and look inside Arsenal's title win. Also, a 2014 memory, John McGinn, set pieces, and Pep's departure.

Difficult to believe that 'de book' is now 20 years old! A real pleasure today to go to Farranferris and talk about Philip Monahan and his life and times. Thanks to Anne Twomey for the invitation and the students for engaging so enthusiastically. #AManApart @ucc.ie @ucclibrary.bsky.social

The Farranferris Education and Training Campus is the place to be tomorrow for my lecture about the legendary Philip Monahan. #AManApart @ucc.ie @ucclibrary.bsky.social @echolive.bsky.social

Wishing a happy retirement to Councillor Ted Tynan who has given dedicated service to Cork city over many decades. Ted has been a great supporter of our annual CLRG Public Lecture Series and also came to @ucc.ie regularly to engage with our students.

Always happy to talk about Philip Monahan 😁. Looking forward to my visit to Farranferris Education and Training Campus on Thursday 👍. @ucc.ie @joh2024.bsky.social @jfcryan.bsky.social
