This is a powerful and moving song in memory of Joe and appealing to those who know the truth about his violent death to come forward and do the right thing.

Joe would have been 30 years old now and would have had the joy of seeing Mayo bring home Sam, had he been allowed to live.

I hadn't realised that Niamh Kinsella has been playing for Claremorris LGFA.

Let's hope she, her sisters, and little nephew make full and fast recoveries from their ordeal.

As Mayo prepare for another All-Ireland final, it is worth remembering Joe Deacy and sharing the latest update on the investigation into his death.

Joe was just 21 when he died after being found seriously injured outside a house near Swinford in August 2017. He had strong family ties to Mayo, considered himself to be from the county and regularly travelled over to support the team.

An inquest heard earlier this year that several new lines of inquiry had emerged and were being actively pursued by Gardaí.

Nearly nine years later, Joe’s family still deserves answers. Anyone with information should contact Gardaí.

This article has some new info about Al Saqar, or new to me anyway.

It explicitly states they were partners, as seemed obvious from her posts, but also says he came here via the North of Ireland.

Furthermore it states clearly that he's Jordanian and that they visited there on holiday some months ago.

It would be fascinating to know how he managed to get indefinite permission to remain in Ireland. I think a statement on this matter from the Minister for Justice is necessary.

The Indo has redesigned its website and introduced a paywall that seems insurmountable. They've also increased the number of articles that require a subscription.

Do you subscribe to the Independent and, if not, are you more likely to do so now after the changes? I'm no and no!
