Brought the cailíní to Dublin for a few days and seriously what has happened our capital city? It's derelict, filthy, rubbish everywhere and gangs of intimidating people hanging around, many clearly off their heads. Not a nice place to be esp with young children. Feels v unsafe.

I really admire ppl who work in hospitals (my sis included) Don't know how they do it. Very grateful to all the kind @CUH_Cork staff looking after me today, esp Matt the theatre nurse, Sarah who put me to sleep, and Katie minding me on the ward. Kindness is everything!

It's only week 3 and with all the #WFH as well as minding small children, home-schooling etc I feel burnt out. I just can't imagine what it is like for families with children who have special needs. The issue of special education needs to be sorted!

The WiFi is down. I guess I'll just have to scrap the list of admin tasks I had set for today and get started on my pile of reading. (Every cloud 🤗 )

Great prog on @RTEOne now about planning policy in the Gaeltacht. Despite the grand rhetoric, this State has never taken seriously the need to preserve Gaeltacht regions.
