Growing up in Monaghan, we used Ulster-Scots words like ‘teeming’ when it was pouring rain or ‘sheugh’ to refer to a ditch.

The 400-year-old Ulster-Scots heritage in Ireland, & its impact, is explored at the re-opened Monaghan County Museum at the Peace Campus.

Key gripe:
A person of minority ethnic background is not 'diverse', but an organisation or group can be if there are different backgrounds brought together.
An individual may be neurodivergent, but only a group can be neurodiverse.

the way the sky does when heaven’s candle

“My black hills have never seen the sun rising,
Eternally they look north towards Armagh.
Lot's wife would not be salt if she had been
Incurious as my black hills that are happy
When dawn whitens Glassdrummond chapel.”

Today we remember the tragedy of the Carrickmines fire (2015), which took 11 lives including children. It was the worst fire in Ireland since the Stardust tragedy.
Please keep all of their surviving families and their community in your thoughts and in your prayers. 🕯️🕯️

Lori Gatsi-Barnett, founder of @JoinHerNetwork , writes in the @BelTel on why diversity, inclusion, and people equity remain key for success in business and society as a whole but to work well everyone must understand how they operate.
