Lovely evening @officialgaa All-Stars meeting conference ambassadors from around the country and hearing their stories. The highlight? Meeting Kerrys greatest supporter Kathleen O'Sullivan!! Overwhelming sense of community, place and belonging - critical to flourishing society!

This is awful. Solidarity with UK colleagues against this cruel and stupid gutting of university education and disciplinary knowledge

If you use LinkedIn, this is important.

Our College Principal, Professor @niamhmcherry.bsky.social, shares what makes UCD College of Social Sciences and Law a unique and inspiring place to study and work, where world-class academics and diverse students explore human behaviour, society, and the systems that shape our world.
