Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: We need to think in the politics of today & make our own history

Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: Limerick so deserved their win

In the warm up, their collective tiredness was there for all to see. Unable to summon the energy that has become their hallmark, this was nature taking over and dictating that rest was needed, deep in their subconscious body systems. If hurling ...

Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: The ‘Green Wave’ should bring the biggest polluters to shore

Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: 'For 2018, try to think of those less fortunate than yourself'

Largely gone, are the appealing habits and charming practices of years past. No more do we have visitors calling for a ‘ceili’, without an appointment. For old people this is a change that’s happened gradually, but makes the effort of living ...

Longford Leader Columnist Mattie Fox: A confusing value barometer

Longford Leader Columnist Mattie Fox: Life isn’t all about a career

Longford's Mattie Fox: After a promising start Taoiseach Varadkar has disappointed greatly

Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: How can huddles take place with 2m distance between players?

Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: Robbie's 'score of the year' contender the highlight of great win

Longford Leader columnist Mattie Fox: Abbey versus Slashers is anyone’s game
