Hundreds of academic staff and other university workers have signed a letter expressing alarm at Cabinet's decision to remove the Triple Lock rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Brilliant letter - crystal clear, historically informed and entirely reasonable. So far ahead of the 'public' commentary and Government PR we are used to hearing on this.

My new article, '“Woman’s Hour or Mother’s Hour”: Postnatal Depression Narratives, Treatment and Reception on BBC Radio, 1946–1985', explores changing attitudes to motherhood, radio as health comms, women's voices, and medics' expanding responsibilities: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I said it from the beginning, the Mother and Baby Home redress scheme was designed as a cost saving exercise. And a transparent one at that. Shame on Green Party Ireland Fianna Fáil Fine Gael thejournal.ie/mother-and-bab…
