To the very kind man in the black BMW near UCD on the N11 who talked me through getting my car up a hill in shocking road conditions, thank you for the knowledge and time taken to keep me on the road. #sneachta

So sad to hear of the death of Marian Finucane. She blazed a trail. A powerful woman, feminist and broadcaster. An inspiration.

Jim Fahy was a fine man, a quality journalist , a great voice for the West of Ireland and so encouraging to young journalists in the RTÉ newsroom. My sympathies to his family.
All of us @rtenews deeply saddened by #JimFahy’s passing. A giant of journalism & #RTE. As Western editor & correspondent, from Eamon Casey, to Don Tidy & Knock airport, it was Jim who told #Ireland, while his documentaries brought the world closer. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

She was generous, brave and fun. @KeelinShanley was a great colleague, a professional always and a pleasure to meet for a brief radio centre few words at any time.
Devastated by the loss of out generous, brave colleague @KeelinShanley ... all of us who worked with her knew her worth. Our thoughts are with Conor, Ben and Lucy. @RTERadio1

Travelling on the M7 before the Portlaoise toll heading for Dublin and have spotted three vehicles with no back lights. All were towing trailers and their rear view was total darkness. Beware
