Dear @Translink_NI - 3 Ulster teams were playing in All Ireland Football QFs CrokePark today. Standing room only on the one train available after full time in the final match. There will be Ulster teams in the semi final in 2 weeks time. Can we have more trains please?
It's something else having to watch your home fall apart in front of your eyes...I will never understand why this was allowed to happen and why not one manufacturer has been held to account, they have destroyed lives & full communities
We are transforming support for young people with special educational needs as they move into further education, as part of Minister Caoimhe Archibald’s plans.
This includes a new assessment process to identify individual needs and put the right support in place.
Making colleges more accessible by expanding course options, training support staff, and investing in facilities.
Improving apprenticeship schemes to unlock new career opportunities.
And introducing a new service to guide students from school through college, so no one feels lost at this key stage in life.
Today is a positive step forward, and we will continue working with the Health and Education Ministers to deliver the change that young people with special educational needs and their families deserve.
ANNOUNCEMENT!

🤯 Golden pensions and €280k overpaid.
Shocking revelations from the Department: dozens of civil servants, already sitting on €2 million pension pots, have been overpaid by up to €280,000 in public money.
At least 30 individuals involved and Minister Jack Chambers knew for months before telling the public.
There are serious questions about oversight in the Department.
Rents continue to spiral upwards according to latest @daftmedia report
Average new rents now €2,023 per month up 7% 📈
10 counties have double digit rent inflation with Limerick City at 20% 💰
Govt is failing to protect renters! 🤷

90% of unpaid Carers are women, many of whom are living in poverty. This is unacceptable in 2025.
The EU must act now to ensure all carers, paid and unpaid, get the fair pay and conditions they deserve.
Minister for Housing @JamesBrowneTD has slashed funding for vital homeless prevention schemes inc tenant-in-situ & housing first.
The result will be more people becoming homeless & being trapped in emergency accommodation even longer.
These cruel cuts must be reversed.
💙Massive respect to the camogie women of Naomh Fionnbarra CLG — out on the pitch playing their match in shorts. Support the sport, not the skort! Proud to see players standing up for comfort, equality, and choice on the field.
Any suggestion by Minister or Government that the landscape around care of vulnerable children has radically changed (improved) could not be further from the truth. Over and over again those at the coalface are not listened to. Just as those who raised concerns about Grace.
Minister Mary Butler’s comments dismissing ADHD & autism as “trends” are harmful, insulting, & totally unacceptable.
As someone with ADHD and awaiting autism diagnosis,I won’t stay silent. Our community deserves dignity —not denial.
I’m calling on the Minister issue an apology
