@SineadCrowley @katymilligan @HistIreHedge Hugh Oram's 'The Newspaper Book' (MO Books, 1983) would be another good place to start.

Kristopher Lovell @KristophLovell might have some ideas(?).

Working on a project and I am keen to hear views on how male allies can help to grow the women’s game 🤔

What qualities or behaviours do you see as helpful?🤔

Are there specific things that have worked in other sports? 🤔

DM’s welcome, RT’s appreciated.

@stephanie_seul A certain amount will depend on your student cohort, are they all from the same background (nationally/culturally?). If it's a mix making your expectations clear may reassure them. And explaining how this is part of your Germaness (if I can say that!) is informative for them too

[James O'Donnell @jamestodonnell]

@stephanie_seul Yes, there is an ambiguity introduced by the informality of first names that needs to be managed. I've taught an Intercultural Communication course in the past where this, and similar ideas, often come up in discussions. Students can feel confused too.👇

I had no idea the deferral had been lifted - delighted to be able to donate now, particularly given the current shortage of supply. Pls RT so as many people as possible know that those living in the UK for 1+ years between 1980 & 1996 are now eligible to give blood in Ireland.

[Irish Medical Times @IMT_latest]

We’re getting several reports of members of the public receiving calls from a Dublin number - supposedly from a hospital - where the caller knows all the person’s details - DOB, PPS and date of stay in hospital. They ask for bank details to ‘refund’ money for overcharging
