@EnochBurke Would love to get in contact with you to share our story of what happened to our family over the Christmas. Also have video footage of a bathroom covered in blood that had not been cleaned before my brother was admitted into, after he had just left ICU.

Why would any Irish second level teacher currently working in UK, UAE, Dubai & other countries return to Ireland when these are the jobs on offer?
@astiunion & @TUIunion need to highlight the short-term nature of contracts here which are often not full-time either
Why doesn’t @astiunion general secretary Kieran Christie highlight the fact that the majority of 2nd level teaching posts currently advertised are short term, not permanent and often not full hour jobs? No teacher can survive on precarious, piecemeal contracts. #edchatie Again 👇🏻

It’s hard to understand how a member of Kneecap has been charged with a terror offence whilst Netanyahu and his army murder and starve women and children every single day without restraint.
Louis Theroux’s “The Settlers” (2025) — full documentary.
This is a must-watch to understand how Israel was built, the people that come from all over the world to take land and what is currently happening due to its expansionist mentality.
KNEECAP STATEMENT:
They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.
Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.
Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.
We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.
This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.
All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.
At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.
Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.
This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.
To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.
Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.
No smear campaign will change that.
Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.
The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.
Shame on them.
‘I earn €10,000 less because my years teaching in Abu Dhabi aren’t counted’ – teacher says incremental credit rules are ‘disheartening’ https://t.co/Ns2xUPs10E
It's 2v1 in this debate. Simon Harris and Micheál Martin have not disagreed with eachother about anything, even though they are meant to be leading two separate parties.
Those who vote for change in this election will not get it.

Fine Gael have kicked off this election by Laughing and jeering at teachers with a multi-millionaire CEO. They have perfectly illustrated to the country who exactly they are and the utter contempt they have for ordinary people. When they tell you what they think about working people, listen to them and believe them. They think Ireland should just be run by the millionaires and the landlords, not teachers or ordinary working people. We need an immediate apology to our teachers by @simonharristd

@SenatorKeogan Stay and work for part time hours? No permanent jobs? Most of the jobs are in Dublin. So any money you would make would be spent on rent to share a house with 7 others? That’s why nobody stays
@lukeming As a teacher, I’ve heard from students the countless ways that they are going to bypass the phone pouches. The students are always a step ahead! So this is a complete waste of money!
#Dubai authorities have offered to provide a lawyer to Tori Towey after Irish diplomatic efforts. Dubai police should just drop the charges at this point. Tori did not deserve to be charged in the first place and should be allowed to go home immediately. #FreeTori
Myself and @ClaireKerrane raised the emergency case of Tori Towey with the Taoiseach seeking urgent intervention in her situation.
The system in Dubai, rather than protecting this Irish citizen chose to detain and charge her.
She wants to come home.
The Taoiseach must intervene, the UAE Ambassador must be called in and it must be made clear to the authorities of Dubai that no woman should be treated in this way, and an Irish citizen will not be treated in this way.
🚨 Dubai 🚨
Irish woman Tori Towey is being detained after she was attacked in her home.
She was the victim of an assault but they're refusing to let her fly home and instead bringing her to court.
Culture matters.
Share!!
