Over 40 people have died in a shipwreck crossing from Tunisia to Europe. Journalist Sally Hayden has spent years reporting from north Africa on such tragic cases. “Everyone in the west should be… asking ourselves every day, how has the mass drowning of people become normalized?”

I’m so proud today of the people of Limerick who successfully defended our City Library from a group of far-right agitators who attempted to gain access to harass library staff, disrupt service and intimidate our LGBTQ+ community. Thank you all so much.

This was/is primarily about Sinead; personal story is to emphasise her true worth. But it was still terrifying to do. Support since, esp @irishexaminer colleagues has been magnificent & deeply moving. ❤️to all, especially Sinead #SineadOConnorRIP irishexaminer.com/opinion/co…

Joe McNamee: Sinéad's courage gave voice to my own story of abuse

The sacrifice Sinéad O’Connor made to create the first major public expression of support for the victims of clerical abuse meant so, so much to those thousands who were still suffering in silence.

RTÉ has the only purpose-built recording studio for orchestra in the country. Invaluable studios and spaces. Built and paid for in the 1960s. Solve things another way - don’t sell the family silver. These things are actually the hallmarks of ‘a state’. Or it’s just ‘a market’.

“It seems to me that all over the world people nowadays prefer to judge rather than to understand, to answer rather than to ask, so that the voice of the novel can hardly be heard over the noisy foolishness of human certainties.” - RIP Milan Kundera theguardian.com/books/2023/j…

Milan Kundera: The Unbearable Lightness of Being author dies aged 94

The Czech novelist found himself silenced by the communist regime at home, but achieved international fame with playfully philosophical fiction

Siun Ni Raghallaigh - chair of the RTÉ board has just said the use of the word talent in RTÉ reinforces to a them and us culture and implies some have greater worth than others. The first step in cultural change is to consign this word to the dustbin. #pac hear hear!

This is a useful reminder that RTÉ management tried to reduce Lyric to a zombie jukebox station and pull the whole operation out of Limerick on cost saving grounds whilst simultaneous secret payments were being paid. @NUJofficial @HalloranCathy @LyricFeature

To reiterate to the lovely students & put their minds at ease - your interpretation, supported by quotes, is the right one! The examiners don't know the 'answer' either. There is no 'answer', so the mother figure could be alive OR dead. Everyone's a winner! Yay for Poetry ❤️
