Raincoat and waterproof trousers needed for the first day back on Belfield campus ☔️

There is no acceptable level of homelessness. Homelessness figures are at record high again. As the university term starts, I shouldn’t be hearing about students sleeping in cars. This government isn’t treating the housing crisis with the urgency it deserves. Where is the new housing strategy?

Stunning new exhibition on in #dlr LexIcon library to mark the 50th anniversary of the Irish Guild of Weavers, Spinners, and Dyers. Runs until September 19th

Proud to stand in solidarity with Debra, Booterstown National School secretary, striking for pension parity. Secretaries are the backbone of our schools and deserve fairness and equality. #pensionparitynow @forsatradeunion.bsky.social

School secretaries and caretakers are on strike from tomorrow, Thursday 28th, seeking pension parity. They deserve to be treated with decency and fairness and I fully support them! #pensionparity @forsatradeunion.bsky.social @labourdunl.bsky.social #labour

If anyone you know is older and has not had the shingles vaccine, tell them to get it. Even if you have to pay for it in Ireland. Besides shingles it also has a proven connection to helping with dementia, particularly in women. It should be free. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Fantastic morning at the new playground and multi sports facility in Dalkey. Well done to #dlrparks department 🥳

One image from yesterday's Dáil row dominates the front page of today's newspapers -d its of Michael ‘two fingers to voters’ Lowry. Like Trump he doesn’t care, he got what he wanted, a supine Taoiseach who cares more about power than principles #speirgorm jrnl.ie/6659332

We need to be investing in home support hours, not rationing them. Desperate stuff from HSE. Our older people deserve better than this.

Feminist friends - looking back anti ‘DEI’ is a new version of anti ‘woke’ which was built on anti ‘gender inclusion’ & anti ‘positive discrimination’ which was hated as ‘political correctness’ back in the day - it’s all just the continuing of misogyny, racism, LGBTQ phobias! New name, same hate!
