There is no justification—none—for the continued neglect of our education system. What is needed now is decisive, transformative investment in public education—investment that recognises the value of our work and the needs of our students.

Less than two weeks after the once-in-a-century weather event that shook the nation, a new documentary from RTÉ will tell of the storm’s catastrophic impact on communities.
Powerless: The Storm That Shook Ireland airs 7pm Thursday @rteone & @rteplayer
A follower has reported a @metoffice weather buoy has washed up on reenroe beach Ballinskelligs in Kerry today after #StormÉowyn
ODAS 62 seems to be print on it, anyone know where it has been deployed? Thanks to Roisin for photo.
That high resolution AROME model out to 9am shows gusts I’ve never seen this model show before for Ireland and this model is one of the best there is for Ireland. Anyone saying this is just another storm is in for a rude awakening. This will be an historic storm. #StormÉowyn
One of the unusual things about #StormDarragh is the fact that strongest winds will be coming from Northwest when normally they come from Southwest. So you might find some gates and fences etc. impacted that wouldn’t have been impacted before. Full update later.
