SNA claims she was forced out of south Dublin school after parents objected to Palestinian scarf https://t.co/xCvRLzJZHI

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

A special needs assistant alleges she had to quit her job at a south Dublin school over “mistreatment” from parents who objected to her wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh scarf.

Lawyers for the worker said their client was relying on the protected ground of “nationality and race” on the basis of her “association with people of Palestinian ethnicity” in an equality claim.

@Keyes The paper does propose a grand theory of European housing Sean and this is that government regulation is the problem. This theme is common to all of Progress Ireland's publications.

Interesting that the Super Collision Brothers' purported anti-NIMBY advocate likes Munich, home to a hard cap on building above 99 metres so as not to obstruct views of the Dom.

Illegal to build Ireland -- no balconies, what looks like some single-aspect

[Dublin Civic Trust @dubcivictrust]

@Keyes Wholly incorrect. All five apartments have balconies or terraces. All units are multiple aspect – apparently triple aspect – and range in size 140m²-200 m². Precisely the type of urban homes that are not built under Dublin’s current race-to-the-bottom standards reductions.

Massive delays on the DART due to a crash at Serpentine Ave.

There was a plan to remove these level crossings and to build a network that doesn't just break due to external actors.

The government never funded. Think about that as you stand in a roasting carraige going nowhere.

During controversy over “sinister” media comments, Patrick O’Donovan didn’t admit he'd already secretly called a Coimisiún na Meán commissioner to see if he as media minister could trigger a state “examination” of RTÉ fuel protest coverage he didn't like.
