Is anyone here with Bord Na Mona in the Co #Wexford area and had their bin collection schedule changed? I was told to put out all bins. Only the waste bin has been collected! Does a separate truck collect the recycling at a later stage of the day?

A wide-angle shot of the modern Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge, a large cable-stayed bridge, spanning a body of water under a dramatic blue sky with white and grey clouds. The bridge's prominent concrete piers and white support cables dominate the frame, connecting the foreground riverbanks to a distant treeline and a small building on the right bank. Reeds and a muddy shoreline are visible along the water's edge in the foreground. The lighting suggests either early morning or late afternoon, casting a warm glow on parts of the bridge structure.

The question should be where the hell was the #NovaScotia gov't while this was going on?

Big ideas. Brave voices. Bright futures.
That’s what we found at New Ross Educate Together National School
The Ombudsman for Children’s Office stopped by to chat with students — and wow, they were ready!
From school rules to mental health, the children shared thoughtful questions and powerful suggestions to make Ireland a better place for every young person
When we say young people know what’s up - we mean it!
Their ideas? Impressive.
Their passion? Unmissable.
Their voices? Essential.

It's 40 years ago today since my father Russel died. For a short spell he was a member of the council in #NewRoss, Wexford. He was on the council when Ted Kennedy visited. The town had a long Kennedy connection. By a strange quirk my father died on the same date - Nov 22nd- as #JFK had been killed.
