And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown". And he replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” Minnie Louise Haskins

I’m glad to see the back of 2024 as it’s been a difficult one. It was a year when I had to combine my job as manager of the Turas project with finishing the last semester of my degree in Irish and taking over management of our Naíscoil for a few months due to staff illness. 🧵1/3

Watching Say Nothing and remembering 3 women murdered in the Troubles, Jean Mc Conville, Margaret Wright and Anne-Marie Smyth (there were many more). Murdered by people who believed they were fighting for Ireland or Ulster, extremists who were blinded by bitterness and hate.

This article describes bilingualism as ‘mental muscle’ while one of the parents of our Naíscoil children referred to it as ‘a superpower’. This is the gift that you can give your child. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
