I visited the Bessborough mother & baby 'home' Childrens' Burial Ground yesterday. No sign of the commission investigating the area outlined in our submission. Final report due next month! And a developer is proposing a build on the otherside of the fence shown here. 1/2

@fee0na thank you Fiona - I'm always here to check for people. I have the names of (dead women and girls) Good Shepherds Cork and the Bessborough so far.

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

Thanks to Marian @dinglenews and Padraig @NuachtRTE for highlighting my research into the Bessborough Women's Grave at St Josephs Tory Top Road. The nuns should mark this grave appropriately

Historian @beanincork reveals Bessborough residents buried under ‘house name’ in Cork cemetary (Tuairisc: @NuachtTG4)

I wonder if all these men who are offended by the removal of statues understand what it is like for girls to only see representation of females in sexualised presentations which is worse still for black girls who are reduced to sexualised and exoticised representations

[Dr Ebun Joseph @EbunJoseph1]

It seems the former minister only likes Black statues! Silenced, enslaved, subservient positioning of Black bodies. Or correct me if I’m wrong, please. Name one thing Michael McDowell has done for the Black community in Ireland? People not statues...

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

@ErynWhy Nuns did it, nuns were the Aunt Lydias, everything in the handmaids tale is based in fact. Check out @Lost900Bessboro

@Aldi_Ireland no worries, maybe consider changing the labelling

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

I decided to try this stuff. The conditioner bar is like wax. My waist length hair is now full of wax @Aldi_Ireland and its going to take hours to wash it out.

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

@ChrisMoodyDraws Happy to discuss if you wish to dm

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

@ChrisMoodyDraws yes I think the intention was to allow some public access but business could put limits on that too I suppose. They allow public consultation on the development plans and they are revised every couple of years. There is currently a open consultation deadline is august 21st.

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

I'm interested in the opinions of Irish people of colour. We should all follow their lead on this. Representation matters, stereotypes hurt.

I have lodged a complaint with ⁦@DubCityCouncil�� Planning Enforcement section calling for the “Shelbourne Four” to be freed and reinstated: Dublin City Council begins action against Shelbourne Hotel for removing statues

Irvine said "I never saw young girls” and I'm calling bullshit. The memory of him, in interview, talking about a young girls 'rock hard tits' - is one I will never forget, I was a young teen at the time.

Public records & documents published online show senior Lebanese officials knew for +6 years that ammonium nitrate was stored in a hangar at Beirut's port & the dangers it posed.

So how did this happen? Here's what we know so far 👇 https://t.co/l4MX8cCA14 | #BeirutBlast

[Maureen Considine @beanincork]

@JJRodV In Ireland we have 'PhD track' and PhD candidate. I only learned the distinction existed half way through year 1. PhD track is first year, after your year one work is reviewed you can then become a PhD candidate but only if your year one work is up to standard. Who knew?
