This was such a collegiate symposium with great discussions after papers. Thank you to Pauline Collombier for the invitation to speak. Great papers from everyone and particularly loved hearing of how French female journalists depicted the Irish WoI and the civil war by @clairedubois.bsky.social

Thanks Amy Campbell and the Echo for reporting calls to rename Bishop Lucy Park. One proposal is Páirc na mBan, which I support. At the next meeting of Cork City Council, along with Ted Tynan and Niamh O'Connor, I'll formally move instruction to undertake a process exploring options.

By coincidence I was passing Tuam today as the hoarding went up around the Mother & Baby Home site. A discreet and respectful veil. It’s 11 years since I took this photo of Catherine Corless at her kitchen table. I rang her today just to say hi. 🧵
