Loving @opwireland.bsky.social live coverage if the #wintersolstice at #Newgrange! Inspired by those who built it over 5,000 years ago and feeling very connected to generations who have gone before us and gathered there.

You’ve every right to be proud Fearghal. The whole parish is proud of them. I really hope they win tomorrow but I believe they are already champions not only for their skill on the field but for the dignity and character they have shown in our community in recent months. NaomhPádraigabú💙💛

Now in its 14th year, ‘whichcandidate.ie’ helps voters find politician that best align with their own views. The questions are interesting as are the responses of the main political parties. However, some candidates have not responded so that can affect the results. whichcandidate.ie/events/14/co...

Interesting read. In Northern Ireland, as far as I’m aware, the integrated sector is the only sector that uses religion as part of its admissions criteria while many (NI) schools use family links. These criteria adversely impact newcomers, children looked after and other minority groups.

Spotted a rather stoney Pádraic Ó Conaire in #EyreSqure today and memories of Scothscéalta and Leaving Cert Irish flooded my mind.

Just read ‘Poor’ by Katriona O’Sullivan. Utterly harrowing, yet a powerful reminder of the transformative power of education & good teachers.
“But 'poor' for me was also feeling like I had no worth. It was poverty of mind, poverty of stimulation, poverty of safety & poverty of relationships.” KO’S
