Anyone know what is next for the new primary curriculum? Schools have started planning for the new school year and there’s been a vacuum of information regarding what area should be targeted next .What subject will training be provided for?

Wise man…

Watching the handmaids tale for the first time - the juxtaposition with what is happening in modern day politics is frightening.

Thanks to Dr Niamh Ni Dhomhnaill for writing this important piece for the Irish Examiner - about the use of counselling notes in court, from both her personal experience as a rape survivor and her clinical experience as a pyschologist www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

February

I don't recommend mentioning this in the promotional brochures for tourists

This is the way.

1️⃣ There’s a reason everything feels like chaos right now. It’s not an accident—it’s a strategy. What Trump & his enablers are doing follows the Shock Doctrine: create relentless crises, overload people’s ability to process events, then exploit the confusion to consolidate power. #ShockDoctrine

Never felt so utterly scared and overwhelmed and helpless at the state of what is going on in the world.

If you are over on instagram have a look at @trinagolden.bsky.social posts on why females aren’t going into leadership in Ireland. I’m particularly struck with the amount of posts saying bullied out or males given preference due to GAA.

Gardaí are seeking the public's help in tracing 14-year-old Mohammad Al Mashal (also goes by Mohammed Khalid), who was last seen on Lower Dorset Street in Dublin 1 at around 1.45pm today. Anyone with information is asked to contact gardaí

Today was absolutely freezing and lots of people on the west coast are still without power while the government squabbles about speaking rights.

How ON EARTH is it still January???

It’s really not ok that Irish water is giving out essential information post storm only through X. They should be across the platforms at the very least.

We have #freedom of expression. This means you have the right to express your #opinion but not to slander your opponents, to #discriminate and spread #hatred. Spreading #disinformation is mostly some form of #slander and #defamation

I miss scoil na hAmadán .We must pull him/her over to the blue side!

I know this is going to be controversial but as a person with chronic illness when I see influencers who are doctors promoting getting major plastic surgery for aesthetic reasons I really think it’s irresponsible.

Hmmm... there's a lesson in here somewhere...

Wide awake … not a chance of sleep in this ..it’s like Armageddon out there #stormeowyn

My mind is on Dara and her ilk. Rescue crews don’t judge. They come to your aid no matter how you got into difficulty. But isn’t it the decent thing to leave sea swims, coast walks, mountain treks, photo ops until Storm Éowyn has passed? Please. Do the decent thing. Stay home.

Well it may not buy a luxury yacht but UK library users bought my coffee yesterday & today & for that I'm very grateful! Remember - an author gets paid each time you borrow their books from a UK Or Irish library so please keep using them! And ask them to stock a book you want to read, it all helps!

We really, really, really need to fix the dysfunctional and far too cosy relationship between journalism and politics in Ireland. I want party leaders to be on edge every time they see me, not sizing me up for a job with them.

What’s going on in theDáil is an absolute disgrace. Acting like school children while the country faces the worst storm in years .

Look for the helpers…

WOW! You've got to watch all of this. A priest just confronted Trump's fascism to his face. She's so incredibly brave.
