We've been pondering this too. Can see the sentiment, but it doesn't celebrate the strength of the Irish team (& wider society) or the huge benefit our diversity brings #COYBIG Back to the drawing board, @GuinnessIreland

Did YOU become an Irish citizen this year? #RTÉ news would like to hear from you for a special programme to be broadcast Sat 29 Dec. Let us know if you are interested in talking about your journey to #citizenship! [email protected]

🖼️ Last week saw the unveiling of a portrait of Hanna Sheehy Skeffington in the school of @UCDSocialPWJ.

The ceremony, organised by @MaryMcAuliffe4, saw Prof Andrew Deeks, Prof @JudithHarford & Senator @ivanabacik speak on the contribution she made to women's suffrage.

2/3 imagine you have the strength and resilience to be able to hope that most Irish people are not like that. That instead most are like those involved in @Inish_Together and @WWelcomes who can show that their communities are welcoming and supportive.

"It's very hard to be a single mother Direct Provision, you don't have privacy, you don't have security." Ellie Kisyombe is one of eight women telling their stories in tonight's 'The Big Picture - A Woman's World' on @RTEone at 9.35pm #RTEBIGPIC

@WWelcomes Direct Provision is an awful policy but the people of Wicklow can make a huge difference to these people escaping from awful oppression and tyranny. It's time to put petty small minded thoughts behind us and embrace our guests.

When children in Direct Provision in Ireland were given the opportunity to go surfing, they couldn’t wait.

This is their heartwarming story...
