Kilkenny and Dublin camogie players both decided to wear shorts ahead of today's Leinster semifinal to protest the wearing of skorts.

The video below shows the players heading back into the dressing room to put on skorts. They were told by officials the match would be abandoned if they tried to wear shorts.

This week, the GPA released a press release saying 83% wanted the option of choosing whether they'd wear shorts or skorts.

"I'm unvaccinated and I'm fine" is like saying "I drove home steaming drunk and made it back OK"

Both can be true

Neither is a good idea

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.

Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. https://t.co/GgQeCuAcJc

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people.
Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

Our computer system will die at the end of this year.

The system we have is almost as old as I am.

Bits of paper everywhere. Clinical risk off the scale.

A national embarrassment.

No EHR plans.

Anyone considering diving off Salthill during this Red Warning, risking not only their own safety but the possible safety of the Irish Search and Rescue teams that may have to be deployed to rescue them, should face massive fines and be charged with dangerous diving. #dontbeadick

I cannot even begin to describe how horrendous the ED facilities are for patients and staff.

People are dying, and he thinks it’s “interesting”... Dumbass.

Our speciality has lost one of its founding giants. An inspiration to us all.

◾️In memory of Prof L Gattinoni, towering figure in ICM, profoundly shaping understanding of #ARDS & #ECMO. The “father" of prone position revolutionized MV with a pioneering "baby lung” concept. His legacy will guide/inspire for generations to come.

Access to schools that match families' values is so important! 👏 We’re asking candidates in Dublin Bay North about this right now: https://t.co/uiK1RMYcYX Waiting for few to reply: @DeirdreHeney @davidhealyv @DMitchellTD @AontuJames @MichaelBurkeX #GE2024 #EducationForAll

They’re letting women who are miscarrying die from sepsis and forcing rape survivors to carry their rapist’s babies to term.
They’re promising to repeal the Affordable Care Act with nothing to replace it.
If anyone is teaching a fear of pregnancy, it’s them.

It is a fantastic achievement to have a nearly 25% increase in the number of kidney transplants performed in the last 5 years. We need expansion of critical care capacity in Beaumont to facilitate the increasing number of transplant procedures.

A really important article here featuring the voices of some brave teachers who are speaking up about the issues arising from our religious-dominated education system, potentially at the risk of their careers #edchatie #equalrespect

Please read this testimony from ICU Prof ⁦@Kevin_Fong⁩ at the @covidinquiryuk⁩ & know that this - this - is what it was truly like.

All those despicable Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers & scamdemic artists have blood on their hands & should hang their sorry heads in shame.
