I really appreciate every share on this episode - I’ve known Cindi for over a decade and this is her first time ever speaking publicly about what happened to her in Bessborough.

Ireland’s notorious mother and baby institutions operated until the late 1990s. Zoei Bonny was the last baby to die under the care of Bessborough, in Cork, in 1994. Her mother Cindi shared her story with me a few days ago. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...

There were 3000 more people at Croke Park today than are at the World Cup final. The minimum priced ticket at the hurling was €55. The minimum priced ticket at the soccer was $2000

Universities love to promote their research-based teaching and then they cut everyone’s research time 🙃

In case you didn’t know, Exeter uni, where I work, has announced a plan to make 25% of staff in my English department redundant. Left-over staff will do double the teaching while their research time will be shrunk to 1%. Meanwhile admissions for English at Exeter are HIGH, and on the rise this year

'Trying to give yourself a better chance at solving the housing crisis by getting rid of targets is sort of like if you were shooting at a bullseye, missed 10 times in a row, and concluded that the problem is that you’d been doing it with your eyes open.' Surrealing is back after a gew weeks.

Surrealing in the Years: Housing minister's war on targets comes for homeless children
