Over the last two decades, more children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military—COMBINED. It’s not doors. It’s not windows. It’s not video games. It’s not absent fathers. It’s not the lack of God. It’s. The. Guns. It’s ALWAYS been the guns.

These are free to any Ukrainian child - if anyone knows of any in the Galway area (or further afield!) who would like any of these please let us know or just come into the shop!
We have a selection of free дитячі книжки children's books in Ukrainian available in the bookshop that we'd love to get into people's hands.🇺🇦 Ukrainian children & families are very welcome to the bookshop to pick from this selection.RTs or spreading of the word much appreciated!
Our new National Maternity Hospital must be public and secular. Join us at the Dáil on Saturday, 14th May, at 2 o'clock to let our government know we will settle for nothing less. #MakeNMHOurs

South William Street so wants to be pedestrianised. It's so frustrating that one retailer's car park is holding @DubCityCouncil over a barrel on this so sporadic (huge) cars can leave their car park 😭

Most Irish restaurants are locally owned and profits are retained and reinvested locally. This private equity firm will repatriate profits. Let’s stop getting excited about seeing big brands hoovering up existing businesses. This started with the arrival of BHS in the 1980’s.

#journorequests - looking to chat to people in Ireland who took up a new hobby later in life - or perhaps returned to one they enjoyed when they were young. DM if any thoughts. RTs appreciated.

The speed and extent of the obliteration of women’s rights in Afghanistan is a warning to women around the world about the fragility of progress toward equality, how quickly it can vanish, and how few will defend it. #IWD2022 hrw.org/news/2022/03/08/stan…

Barristers in Ireland can give legal advice on a charitable basis under the Code of Conduct. @IACBA are gathering names of barristers willing to assist those fleeing Ukraine: sign up at [email protected] @TheBarofIreland @NascIreland @DorasIRL
The BSB is exempting barristers wishing to give direct pro bono immigration advice to Ukrainian citizens from the need to be licensed under the Public Access Rules. See: buff.ly/3KjxDaO

This is talented med student from Carlow, Rachael Diyaolu, who is stuck in Sumy, Ukraine. Just last summer we met her in @kclr96fm after she received a @GardaTraffic youth award shortly after completing her Leaving Cert. She desperately needs help to get home. #HelpUkraine

Replying to @coffeecronin
I met a young guy last week who has two A's in construction and woodwork in the leaving cert. Failed all the other subjects as he is dyslexic. Trying all week to find someone or some company to give him a chance. Just one chance is all he needs.

Of course it’s not all men. But it is all women. We are all fed up. The best legacy we can make for Ashling Murphy is to change the culture that allows these crimes. I hope the outpourings of grief across the country bring some comfort to her loved ones. May she be at peace.

Since Jan 2021 #CovidWomensVoices has been highlighting the disproportionate impact of #COVID19 on women. One year later, in the middle of a fourth wave, many women continue to be adversely affected. There is still a lack of equal representation.
