I am furious that decent people are embarrassed by their substandard housing, as if they made bad life choices instead of being victims of an exploitative system. This is EXACTLY how FFG wants us to feel because it deflects from their repeated failures. This failure is 100% theirs, not ours.

My daily Shinrin-yoku in Limerick is enhanced by this pop of colour 🎨

#ForestBathing #Shinrin-yoku

Limerick City gets its moment to celebrate @conorsheehan.bsky.social on RTE Radio 1.

I’ll happily stand to be corrected but I’ve heard no update about Clare. 🤔 #GE24 #BeyondThePale

#GE24 finished in Clare and Limerick for a while and no update over official RTE airwaves.

I dont understand why RTÉ have ignored it. It's the most exciting race in the country imo.

The final count for #GE24 #Limerick City is underway. The neck-and-neck race between Conor Sheehan (Lab) and Elisa O'Donovan (SocDem) will be decided by the transfers from Dee Ryan (FF) on the 15th count.

Conor is currently ahead by just 16 votes.

There are 4,427 ballots to process.

It would be interesting to know how many teachers, school principals and SNAs voted for Norma Foley, Hildegarde Naughton and Peter Burke (FG - Michael O’Leary launched his election campaign with a teacher jibe). #edchatie

Limerick update from Virgin Media on the tallies but no news about the issue with the Ballot Paper.
Could Limerick city need another Election Day? #GE24

His time is here. The Tallyman cometh. #GE24

If you’re a teacher yet to decide who to vote for in #GE24, then this is well worth a read. #edchatie

Political party manifestos lack ambition to tackle teacher supply crisis. Too many parties seem happy to tinker until changing demographics ‘solve’ the problem

Nobody believes a word any of them are saying on therapy access.

We have no reason to trust them.

Exhibit A:

If Harris or any of the political parties genuinely cared about our family and friends in Australia and abroad, they could extend the right to vote from abroad. #VoterDisqualification #disenfranchisement #RTE #PrimetimeDebates

Do landlords take their house with them if they leave the market?

#GE24

“There are parents sleeping on cold floors in Crumlin hospital tonight”

does Simon Harris know he is Taoiseach tonight

It is humbling to see that the two major social issues discussed tonight - homelessness and disability services - have been reduced to reliance on charity. Despite the wealth in this state, these critical areas remain dependent on charitable provision. #GE24

Now, UHL. If you vote FF/FG , “the regional” is your fault. They’ve had all the time in the world.

A significant support resource for the #edchatie community is our Employee Assistance Service provided through Spectrum Life. It’s good to keep the counselling in the back pocket for when you need it, but did you know there is a digital gym option? Nutrition courses? Podcasts?

Those of us in Irish education used to have a civilised hour's Mon evening discussion each week 'over there' under the aegis of the excellent Fred Boss.

This evening fire in comments with #edchatie too & let's see where we are.

And wave if you're not in this:
