The Wildlife act seems to afford these lovely “beeings” little protection. 😕Who is going to speak up for these lovely insects and for the hedgerows and ditches they (don’t) call home?

Mo chéad lá san oifig nua! Excited to start my tenure today as sabbatical fellow in Mitchell Institute at QUB where I’ll be working on my project on Irish-speaking migrants in Springfield, MA at the turn of 20c and what Qs this raises re: the language rights of minority and migrant groups.

308 Irish religious schools implicated in historic child abuse. I've written, spoken about the abuse in Terenure College. My own abuser was due to stand trial in March, but died before then. The damage never fully heals but at least we talk about it now. irishtimes.com/ireland/educat…

We are a mixed ethnicity couple.. and NOONE should have to live with any fear of being racially abused / attacked. I have to honest… I don’t think enough is being done by our politicians to combat the upsurge of racist attacks. Absolute disgrace.

Tá sé ráite agat Tuigim Na daoine a rinne na huafáis seo, seo iad daoine a raibh meas orthu. Seo daoine a raibh oideachas orthu. Seo daoine a bhí ina 'pillars of the community,' ar baineadh focail ar nós 'integrity' astu chun cur síos a dhéanamh orthu.

Allyship requires Action. Labhraígí le bhur bpolaiteoirí, cuma cén áit sa tír ina bhfuil sibh. Abraigí leo go bhfuil géarchéim faoi leith sa Ghaeltacht ⁊ go bhfuil do vóta idir dhá cheann na meá.

Anybody who wants to know what is really going on with Irish would be well advised to read these articles by Conchúr Ó Giollagáin and Brian Ó Curnáin. There’s a lot to take in but it’s worth the read.
