So rather than look at why 14 years of instruction has not resulted in fluency, we’ll send Leaving Certs off to the Gaeltacht for 3 weeks, cos that’ll fix it 🙄. And minor details of who pays, where they stay, what they’ll do?? What’s ‘Silly Season’, as Gaeilge?

It gives me humbling honour to #KeepTellingofGaza as part of the #Festival_of_Libraries_2025. An event that highlights the role of language, culture and education: And in this company of witnessing our tearful eyes speak of our pain and these fragile words offer a holding

It’s a strange thing, going back in time…Reading my diaries and letters, I could clearly see the narrative I created for myself at the time, one that I internalised and that still affected how I saw my younger days…@urchinette @HachetteIre @dalkeybookfest
Anna Carey re-reads her teenage diaries: 'I found myself feeling genuinely angry with people I hadn’t thought of in decades, about incidents I had forgotten. My joy and my pain radiated off the page so strongly, it was almost overwhelming.' irishtimes.com/culture/books…

Joyce in Kerala? Yes! A blog by my friend and brilliant scholar @JinanAshraf writing about her journey from a chance find of “Dubliners” in Kerala to a PhD on Joyce in Dublin. A must-read journey of books and borders. #ReadingJoyce #Libraries #Bloomsday2025 @DCU @DCUSchoolofEng
See how a fortuitous encounter with #JamesJoyce in a dusty Indian library changed one scholar's life forever. Read @JinanAshraf 's #Bloomsday blog to see where literature can take you: museumofchildhood.ie/reading… @JamesJoyceCentr | @bloomsdayfest | @DCU | @NLIreland | #Kerala
