On this day, September 10, 1966, one announcement changed Ireland forever Donogh O'Malley, Fianna Fáil Minister for Education, didn't ask permission. He didn't wait for the Department of Finance to sign off. He just did it. Free secondary education for every child, rich or poor

In July 1972 I was lucky enough to see Muhammad Ali fight in Croke Park, to meet him & get his autograph at his sparring session in the Handball Alley . Tonight I’ll see another boxing legend fight in Croke Park the one and only Katie Taylor. Thanks for the memories Katie 🥊🥊🥊

Totally agree the @RTESunMisc theme was iconic, the new opening theme is insipid. Many things in @rte needs to be changed but this wasn’t one.

Please, @RTERadio1 - get rid of that godawful new opening theme music for @RTESunMisc and restore the old one. Enough is enough.

I want to wish Catherine Ardagh every success in her new role at the Department of Justice. She brings considerable legal experience and a strong background campaigning on education, health and social issues.

Today, the 25th of May, is Memorial Day in the United States of America. On this day, they remember US Servicemen and Woman who have died in service. As part of the day, a plaque commemorating Irish born Corporal Patrick "Bob" Gallagher will be unveiled at the Mt Soledad National Veterans Memorial. The ceremony will be attended by Cpl Gallagher's comrades as well as his family, who have travelled from Ireland for the unveiling. Cpl Gallagher, a native of of Ballyhaunis, County Mayo emigrated to Long Island, New York before enlisting in the Marine Corps. In 1966, Cpl Gallagher was awarded the Navy Cross after using his own body to shield his fellow Marines from a grenade. Cpl Gallagher survived this heroic act, but was tragically killed in action days before his tour of duty was set to end. Cpl Gallagher's legacy and bravery has been immortalised through the naming of an Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer, the USS Patrick Gallagher (DDG-127), which has just began its sea trials and soon active service in the US Navy. @MtSoledad1

Interesting point made by Jim O’Callaghan today at the graveside commemoration for Seán Lemass. The Irish economy is 15 to 20 times bigger in real terms than it was when Seán Lemass took over in 1959. These are the figures for between 1957 and 1967 when the size of the Irish economy doubled.

How de Valera set Fianna Fáil in motion 100 years ago this month The setting up of FF was an important moment for the new Irish State as it confirmed the centrality of parliamentary politics and set us on a path of democratic political stability. rte.ie/brainstorm/2026/0507/…

How de Valera set Fianna Fáil in motion 100 years ago this month

The party sought to depict itself as a mass movement, bringing social justice, economic protectionism and Catholicism under the banner of Republicanism
