I don’t always agreewith @LeoVaradkar but he had the guts to call out the hypocrisy of the US ambassador in visiting publicly visiting ConorMcGregor bar in Crumlin. It wasnt a chance stop.
Given his conviction for sexual assault any diplomat or individual wouldn’t do a visit supporting the establishment.
I read in the @DailyMail the disquiet about Varadkar in Fine Gael about outspoken comments. Maybe concern yourself with victims.
The government (most notably the Minister for Education) should just start trusting and listening to TEACHERS on the ground in classrooms working closely with SNAs but they never have and never will.
🎯A proper voice for children in care and their court decisions set to be seriously and unlawfully diluted by @NormaFoleyTD1
🎯 A Children’s hospital grossly over budget and over time
🎯 Wait times for assessments of need and interventions thereafter an absolute disgrace
🎯 Cuts to SNA’s for schools on the way for September
Has there ever been a more anti children’s rights government?
In Ireland, 1 February marks the first day of spring and the celebration of Lá Fhéile Bríde, St Brigid’s Day.
Watch as we honour the extraordinary contributions Irish women have made at home and around the world.
@LharaMullins My youngest had it and we used an osteopath for craniosacrial work when he was 6-7 mths and it sorted it. He was still a velcro baby but at least I wasn't changing his clothes multiple times a day.

An indelible moment of television broadcasting that impacted beyond words.

B’ambasadóir é Manchán dár nglúin féin agus duine a bhí lárnach san athbheochán a tharla ar na mallaibh sa chultúr agus sa Ghaeilge. Sheas sé i lár an aonaigh agus thiocfadh a rá nár chuir sé é féin ansin ach gur chuir an pobal ann é.
Ina bhealach séimh féin, chuir sé i gcuimhne dúinn fán ról atá ag an teanga maidir le tuiscint níos doimhne a fháil ar an cheantar thart orainn agus orainn féin.
Mairfidh a oidhreacht i meon fiosrach spreagúil na nGael agus iontu siúd a théann sa tóir ar shaol níos doimhne agus fíoraithe.
Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚

Perhaps unwillingly, he was the foremost cultural ambassador for our generation and instrumental in the resurgence of Irish language and culture.
He gently reminded us of the role the language has in understanding our surroundings, and knowing ourselves.
His legacy will live on in the curious minds of the Irish and beyond, in those who seek a deeper and more fulfilling life.

Watching my little 8 year old granddaughter yesterday playing with her Indian, Irish, and black South African pals.
Just kids having fun.
Children are born without hate, without racism.
Adults are responsible for introducing that particular poison.
