@ConUladh @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Yes please - tried to DM you there but it wouldn't send.

@TheRestHistory Hi there, trying to get tickets to your Dublin show but it doesn't appear to be working? Thank you!

@MichaelMDowling The outrage at a piece lauding her leadership comes from a place of frustration, not petulance as you suggest. Spend time in a school at the moment and you'd see that teachers are the ones who look after children's education - in spite of an inept and out of touch department.

@PowerUSAID @POTUS No such safety for Palestinians though. As an Irish person, I always admire and follow what you do. However, I am really perturbed and disappointed by your silence on the situation in Gaza. How can you, in good conscience, not speak up?

[Helen @helbel2009]

@thebeauttruth Almost 2 classrooms' full. Sinéad, please email your local TDs/councillors demanding we boycott Israeli goods, just as we did with apartheid South Africa (it worked)🙏 Please share with your followers too.

Dun Laoghaire in solidarity with the Palestinan people 🙏 As a teacher of 27 boys and girls, it is just unfathomable to think that Israel has killed almost double that amount of innocent children in the past few days alone #FreePalestine

[Helen @helbel2009]

@simoncoveney Well said Simon. Keep the pressure on 🙏

[Simon Coveney @simoncoveney]

32 children killed since Monday in #Gaza by Israeli fire - that’s approx 1/4 of all fatalities - It’s not acceptable! Israel has int. legal obligation to protect children in conflict & r not doing so! #Ireland will speak forcefully again at UNSC tomorrow. https://t.co/HGiCoTbfwk

@IreadMad @micheal_mor @Alan__Shatter I condemn all violence. Yet it is undeniable that Israel, through the suffering it bestows upon Palestinians, (despite your claims that Gaza is a utopia) sows a hopelessness where time after time, they continue to fight against a power to whom they know they will ultimately lose.

[Helen @helbel2009]

@ipsc48 Hi there, can you please advise of charitable organisations, working on the ground with Palestinians, to whom I could donate? Thank you 🙏

Disappointing that the @rtenews feature on the benefits/limitations of live vs pre-recorded #homeschooling sessions had a sole academic focus. With no reference to the #mentalhealth benefits of live interactions for #connection #community Also the #voiceofthechild notably absent

[Helen @helbel2009]

@josephamadigan Do you plan on also engaging in 'intensive engagement' and making a commitment to work towards commuting the time these children you claim to care about wait to be psychologically assessed (2 years)? Not to mention the time they must then wait for interventions like OT, S & L etc

[Helen @helbel2009]

@thebeauttruth They would also have listened to schools & provided extra teachers so that hours for children with additional needs were not absolutely decimated with increased teacher absences as a result of covid. Examples of their apathy are endless...they don't care.

Where is the sense of urgency @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar @EamonRyan ??

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

2020 was the hottest year ever recorded - NASA.
The last 6 years have all been the hottest on record.
We’re in a climate emergency and the changes needed are still nowhere in sight. The only ones who can change that are us.
Spread awareness. Be the change.

@news2dayRTE @AislingTM So well presented and age-appropriate as always ⭐

[Fionn Davenport @fionndavenport]

This report & all of the noises being made around it offers partial vindication for people like me who started their life in a Mother-and-Baby home. The collective feeling of shock and disgust is appropriate, for what was perpetrated on these tens of thousands was a heinous crime
