See chapter B1 for insightful/useful information on ECEC incl purpose of ECEC, fee caps, governance, funding etc. The chapter reiterates the importance of ECEC & highlights expectations of educators. Why are they on the bottom rung when it comes to salaries, recognition & status?

Week 1 of annual leave & my centre closed so I'm at a total disconnect or so I thought! Just checked my core funding application but 2 of my graduate leaders aren't recognised as graduates this year despite being recognised in 23. Does @pobal create hardship just for fun? @dcediy

@NewstalkFM @NormaFoleyTD1 Great news for teachers and well deserved. Imagine an early childhood teacher also with a four year degree beginning on €17,000 less. ECEC teacher attraction and retention is also critical. #ececteachers #qualitycosts

Well done @kennymick74 and everyone involved in creating this space 👏

A little walk around our new inclusive playground in Gowran Co Kilkenny. Our inclusive accessible castle is the first of its kind in the northern hemisphere. Really looking forward to seeing children and families enjoying themselves.

Irish support for airdrops of aid into Gaza is welcome, but highlights the real problem: Israel won't allow aid in by road, while children starve to death.

Unconscionable war crimes need to be met with a stronger response than aid workarounds.

📖 Happy #WorldBookDay from Patricia and Patrick in Malawi, who feature on this year's Trócaire Box.

They both love reading and Patricia says her favourite book is her Chichewa language book.

🇲🇼 Did you know Chichewa is the most widely spoken language in Malawi?

"While we all face the same atmospheric challenges, we know that we are definitely not in the same boat. If there is one truth that Catholic Social Teaching has made clear, it is that climate change affects people and communities unequally."

The latest from Trócaire CEO @CdeBarra as the war on #Gaza rages on⬇️

Ireland needs to step up and take action to prevent further devastating loss of life, and we don’t need to wait for the EU.

'We should commend Ireland for this leadership role, yet at the same time, we also need to be realistic about what can be achieved within the 🇪🇺, which is deeply divided on this issue. Ireland must also demonstrate leadership by taking bold actions that don’t require the consensus of a paralysed EU.'

Learn about Malita and her family and how they access water in Malawi 🇲🇼

The 'suitcase full of francs' gave me a chuckle @marygtroche ..the book is on my TBR pile now !!

[@marygtroche.bsky.social @marygtroche]

On my TBR pile for a while. What a writer. There are gems on every page. "My sister had the full approval of our father, but that was like having a suitcase full of francs after France joined the eurozone." (P20) @GalwayMr @Jo_Bowers @TeresaCremin @BellitumRedux @wordherding
