“We are bombarded with self-help messages that encourage ‘putting yourself first’ and ‘being selfish’ as ways of feeling better. However, this ignores a crucial fact: One of the best ways to feel better about yourself is to be of service to other people”

Climate change, play & recreation, class sizes, school resources, housing, banning homework, hot school meals, mental health & more being discussed passionately & brilliantly! #childrenshustings

[Edel McDevitt @edelmcdevitt8]

Incredible insights & questions from young people gathered in @TheArkDublin for #childrenshustings today. Kids reflecting back to our political representatives the issues that are important to them & asking 'what are you going to do about it?' Future voters & future leaders. 👏

[Edel McDevitt @edelmcdevitt8]

Fantastic questions from young people on the #generalelection24 issues that are important to them. Brilliantly hosted by @TheArkDublin and @ChildRightsIRL with @BryanNewsatOne expertly chairing proceedings! #childrenshustings

In Ireland, the survival statistics for this 'silent' cancer are simply shocking. For my own mum, less than 3 months after her diagnosis, she was gone. Please share to raise awareness of the silent symptoms of this most deadly cancer. We need better outcomes for our loved ones.

Warmest congratulations to Catherine McGuinness on the occasion of her 90th birthday! There are few Irish public figures who have worked so diligently and effectively to advance the public good over so many years and across so many domains.

[Irish Penal Reform Trust @IPRT]

A General Election is coming. Yesterday we hit another prison overcrowding record, with 5,124 people in prison custody with only 4,514 spaces.

Our solutions would safely reduce the demand for prisons and result in safer communities for everyone.

'Next week, over a million children and young people will receive the first of two double child benefit payments...

But as this happens, children and young people in direct provision will receive nothing.'

We urge Government to implement the International Protection Child Payment - a critical income support.

This measure was committed to in Budget 2024 but one year, there is still no progress made in delivering this support. @Tanya_Ward
