If you live in Dublin Bay North this leaflet will be coming in your door soon. I’m voting @shanefolan No. 1. Our local TD should be hard-working, compassionate & decent. Shane is all those things & more. I’ve known him for 15 years & he is the change we need. #ShaneIsChange

Within two hours the message from govt has changed from “there is no reason to close schools” to “we’ll make a decision on Wednesday”. Doesn’t breed confidence.

This has now spiralled completely out of control. Minister was allowed move on from a comment last week when describing non SEN students as ‘normal’. Now there is comparisons with Mother and Baby Homes. Taoiseach needs to intervene before more damage is done.

Hearing reports of minority of schools enforcing unreasonable uniform policies while students are in cold classrooms. For example: demanding girls wear skirts at school is outdated practice - demanding it in current circumstances is ridiculous. Time for some common sense.

With 50% of students opting not to sit the written Irish paper it’s clear we have a problem. @labour are advocating for at least one year in every primary school to be taught exclusively through Irish. Time to think radically about the future of the language.

Part of a non-violent struggle. Unlike the IRA who once bombed a bus of schoolgirls that included @DUPleader Arlene Foster. Non-violence leads to understanding, empathy & healing. Violence leads to entrenchment and bitterness. You reap what you sow.
