@ColinBarrett82
Longshot here, but I have a 5th and 6th year group in Naas who have studied and loved Young Skins. Do you do author visits? Or would you be available for a zoom call even if that doesn’t work. It would make their year!

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@HMRCcustomers To wait until mid Oct to receive the cheque - I still haven’t received it. Last night ‘Giles’ said it hasn’t been sent yet

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@HMRCcustomers I spent 1.05 mins waiting to connect this afternoon and spoke to ‘Giles’ who was extremely rude and unhelpful. I’ve been waiting for a refund cheque for months now- I’m fully entitled to enquire where it is after it being reissued 3 times. I’d like to be called

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@HMRCcustomers Yes- I resolved all of this when I spoke to someone back in June, again in July and then most recently in September. After last nights call, I’d just like to be paid by DD please

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@HMRCcustomers Yes

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@HMRCcustomers Yes- from 2023- 2024 but I’ve moved back to Ireland and the cheque has now been issued 3 times and I haven’t received it.

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

Urgently please . I can PM my Irish number

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

Disappointing media for sure! #representationmatterers

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@YunoEnergy your current advertisment proved rich fodder for a Media Studies class today focusing on poor representations. From my point of view, I found the portrayal of a mother ministering to the needs of everyone else archaic and the tag line of being a step ahead ironic

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

given the ad takes a view of women which is certainly not a step ahead. Thankfully the young men in front of me had their own issues: they hoped they would not grow up to be like the man in the ad, relying on someone else to buy their mother a birthday gift!

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@trottolina_ie Came here looking for this! Looked at the ad with a media studies group today to highlight how appalling it is in terms of representation. Shocking!

@GateTheatreDub A huge thank you to Betty and John for today’s workshop with 6th Years from CBS Naas. The students - and their teachers- got so much out of it and the surprise of getting a Q&A with @McMahonPhilly

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@holloway_stacey @sarfern These are fab! Would you be willing to share the doc? Thanks

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@Chill_Insurance I need to get in touch and I’m having issues. I need an email or something. I’ve received a text to say my insurance is in the process of being cancelled but then the link says no outstanding documents needed. The website is also no help.

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@ZARA_Care Dm sent. I’d really like this dealt with this evening so the cost can be retrieved from store.

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@ZARA_Care please can I have a customer service number for Ireland. My husband returned a faulty child’s coat today with original proof of purchase and was only given the sale price on a gift card- this is outrageous given the seam was literally coming apart in 2 places

@tripitaka74 Happy Christmas Seb x

Students are very excited to take part in the project & could not have done it without your help. #cpsvoicesforchange

[Cleeve Park School @cleeveps]

20/06/23 - And a big shout-out to Ruxley Manor Garden Centre

Our students are going to be kept busy planting these up tomorrow!

Thank you to Miss Cutting for arranging

@marionmoloney1 English (only subject registered with TC) but I speak French fluently and I’m currently an AP and oversee work with AEN students so again happy to get involved with anything like that. Thanks for getting back to me

[Shona McCarthy @smccart8]

@marionmoloney1 Hi! I don't know if you remember me, but I'm a past Mary's student from Naas (Shona) and you taught me Science and we lived around the corner. I'd love to get in touch. I've been teaching and living in the UK since 2007 and, on a crazy whim, we've just sold up
