I’m looking to speak to men in Ireland who have suffered from gynochomastia or who may have gotten corrective surgery for a health-led feature in a newspaper. All interviews will be handled sensitively! DMs are open.

🎙️ Tá caidreamh aisteach ag comhlachtaí stát agus an rialtas maidir leis an síneadh fada in Éírinn, ach cén fáth go bhfuil sé comh deacair an fhadhb seo a réiteach i 2026? Labhair muid le @grainnenia.bsky.social chun fáil amach! pod.link/1452246930/e...

I spoke to Regina Doherty in Brussels this week about the EU’s housing plan and if it will change anything in Ireland👇 www.thejournal.ie/regina-doher...

Ireland needs more landlords 'that have five or more houses who treat it like a business'
The government is trying to ‘change the housing culture in Ireland’, according to Fine Gael MEP Regina Doherty.

'It can be a cause of deep discontent': Understanding the reality of hair loss among men
Early hair loss in men can be distressing, but rather than undergoing costly, lengthy treatment, some are opting to shave their heads and embrace baldness

Nice to be back in the pages of The Irish Examiner today, with a feature on the young men in Ireland who are embracing going bald when it happens at an early age! There’s a lot of focus on the psychological effects hair loss can have on men and non-surgical ways that hair loss can be slowed down👇

#journorequest I’m looking to speak to men in their 20s/30s in Ireland who have gone bald and embraced it instead of getting a hair transplant. How did it make you feel - did it affect your self-image or did you care at all? It’s for a newspaper feature - let me know if you’d be happy to chat!

Faoi láthair, tá gealltanas tugtha ag an rialtas go mbeidh 20% d’earcaithe úra sa seirbhís phoiblí in ann comhrá a bheith acu leis an bpobal agus seirbhís a thabhairt trí Ghaeilge faoi 2030. jrnl.ie/6946700

Amhras ann go mbainfidh an rialtas a gcuid spriocanna earcaíochta Gaeilge amach faoi 2030
Ní bhainfidh an rialtas a gcuid spriocanna mura méadaíonn líon na gcúrsaí tríú leibhéal trí Ghaeilge ó níos lú ná 1% go 5%.
