An excellent article supporting DEIS+ by Breda O’Brien in today’s Irish Times.

🎄✨ This Christmas, let’s all make an effort to support the heart of Limerick - our local shops! 🏘️💝
From unique gifts at independent boutiques, handmade local treasures, to festive ornaments from local artists - every purchase makes a difference. 💚

The problem for FG here isn’t Michael O’Leary’s comments about teachers. Of course that’s what he thinks! Anyone pretending to be shocked by them has been asleep for the past 20 years. The issue is the reaction of all the FG supporters and members in the room who laughed so loudly at MOL. That is not going to play well with teachers - not exactly a group you want to annoy this early in the campaign.
Last night Fine Gael minister Peter Burke had Michael O’Leary (yes that one) launch his election campaign in Mullingar.
The sheer hypocrisy to have him on stage whinging about government wasting money at a government TD’s event. 😂😂😂
Fine Gael don’t care about the working class. That’s evident. And Mr. O’Leary (who’s worth about a billion euro, fair play to him) certainly doesn’t either.
Insults to teachers, left-wing parties, you name it he said it.
And then to top it all off, he made it abundantly clear that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are two cheeks of the same arse by telling people to transfer between FG and FF.
This is who Fine Gael are.

Teachers are the backbone of our country, shaping futures, inspiring minds, and driving the success of our society. The recent comments made by the Ryanair CEO at Minister Burke’s campaign launch were outrageous and an insult to the dedication and hard work of our teachers.

Whatever your view of Fine Gael, it's extremely unfair to share a video of Michael O'Leary mocking teachers at a party campaign event and claim that Fine Gael simply dislikes teachers.
In fairness to Fine Gael, they hate all public sector workers equally.

Came up with new courses based on the subjects' names only, without any research.
Rushed through LC redevelopment at the expense of any rigour.

Enjoying a morning of local parent and baby supports, services and scones in Limerick city. Will be watching #Budget2025 closely to see what funding is allocated for these critical community initiatives. #ABCStartRight #HappyFeet @HSELive #breastfeeding

She was, David. Kellie fought the boxer in question in the last Olympics, and won. It was reported on by RTE, who you used to work for as a journalist, apparently.
Jesus wept at the level of ignorance and misinformation in this story, from people who should know better.
How would we feel if Kellie Harrington was put in this position??
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Kellie Harrington fought Imane Khelif in the 2020 Toyko Olympics, and won, which was a deciding fight in her bid to win an Olympic medal that year. There was no gender-based debate regarding Kehlif at the time and it was a fair fight.

If people want to complain about a genuine issue in Olympic boxing, rather than something made up, complain about the horrific scoring.

That’s a disgraceful decision against Daina Moorehouse of Ireland against the French home fighter Wassila Lkhadiri. It’s difficult to put that down to judging incompetence. That feels more sinister.
Shameful, disgusting stuff.
Had a read of the 101 Days of Action and picked out 1 of the actions to hold @moranjohna1 accountable on. Excited to see the fruits of all these workshops during Breastfeeding Week in October!
