There will be no reduction in the number of SNAs for the next school year, the ministers responsible for education have confirmed. The review had been prompted by public backlash, after almost 200 schools were told they could lose part of their special needs assistant allocation. jrnl.ie/6965646

In Opinion “No one is likely to mistake contemporary Britain for a model democracy,” Fintan O’Toole writes. “And yet it is in Britain that some semblance of justice for the women and girls so ruthlessly exploited by Mr. Epstein’s network of well-connected men may be finally beginning to emerge.”

When the government makes an entire workforce wait for years to recognize our role, protect us when we're hurt, and witness the affects of not providing the therapeutic support that our students need, something had to snap. Over the last two weeks SNAs snapped but it was years in the making #SNACUTS

I really wish that the news would give that teacher in Westmeath as little oxygen as possible. We knew with 100% certainty that he will be outside the school today.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Feel so angry. The news could not get sadder or more depressing today. How are the Palestinian people ever going to forgive or forget the world turning it's back on them. They must feel so abandoned.

The inhumanity of this. 47 Palestinians, including 33 children, were prevented from travelling to Ireland - brief respite from fear and death and destruction - because officials in the Dept of Justice were afraid they wouldn't go back. www.thejournal.ie/gaa-palestin...

The irony of a show full of people wanting to win a house deposit being murdered one by one by an estate agent #TraitorsIRL

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

My winter mood now that Paudie is imithe #TraitorsIRE #TraitorsIRL

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
