Child law advocates 'taking legal advice' over new state service (via @thejournal_ie)
The mob that turned up to protest inside the 4 Courts this morning prevented our office from safely bringing an urgent application on behalf of a child with special needs. So we will have to come back and try again tomorrow. Thanks for that 🤯
"It's not just #COVID19 that is killing people,
it's underprivilege,
it's lack of access,
it's years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of the colour of your skin, or your ethnicity, or your social group"- @DrMikeRyan#HealthForAll
When David Trimble learnt that Martin McGuinness was seriously sick he wrote him this letter. We really could do with more of this open civility, acknowledgment of someone else’s contribution and basic decency in our political life today
That’s the best speech Leo Varadkar has ever given. Content, tone, explaining carefully the rationale, displaying great human empathy. Proper appreciation of frontline workers in this great fight. Irrespective of political outlook it is time to come together as a great nation.
I met a really dedicated teacher today and asked him how the back to school prep work was coming along.
His reply was revealing:
‘The whingers are whinging and the doers are doing’.
Always good to get inside insights.
