My eldest came home from

tonight and he said he took an antigen test and got a negative result before heading home.
Me: ok but are you feeling any symptoms?
Son: only symptom is being devilishly handsome!

Thanks to the Principal and staff of

Ireland today is diverse, inclusive & vibrant. But only 1% of local Councillors are from a migrant background & just 25% are female.
I welcome the funding announced to encourage more women & diverse candidates to run in the 2024 local elections. I urge you all to get involved.

Asked by a reporter to comment on Peter Casey’s alleged remark published today in the Sunday Times. My response: “Peter Casey is entitled to his opinion. However strongly he feels about it, it remains an opinion.”
It is important for Community groups to feed into the work of the Independent Antiracism Committee for an inclusive and effective outcome.

Racism is discrimination by any individual/community/institution against person(s) based on their membership of a particular racial/ethnic group, typically one that is a minority/marginalised.
We must collectively focus on ending EVERY form of discrimination.
Thank u everyone for your love and support yday. Love always wins over hate. The anti Traveller prejudice on twitter yday was vile and shocked me coming from people who should know better. But here I am today spreading my Minceir love as always.
