People power works. Well done to all the parents and SNAs who forced the government back.
Now govt must amend the 2024 guidelines which narrowed the grounds on which SNAs could be allocated to "primary [medical] care needs".
Inclusion, not exclusion, needs to be the principle.
Mícheál Lehane@MichealLehane
An extra €19 million will be allocated to fund special needs assistants, SNAs, following a meeting of Government party leaders and several ministers tonight. It follows an outcry last week over plans to cut the number of SNAs in almost 200 schools following a review.

Ethiopia is actively reversing a century of severe deforestation through ambitious large-scale reforestation.
Under the Green Legacy Initiative, launched in 2019 by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the country has mobilized millions of citizens each year to plant billions of seedlings nationwide. Since the program's start, more than 32–40 billion seedlings have been planted (with official sources varying slightly in cumulative figures), countering the dramatic loss of nearly all original forest cover—estimated at over 95–98% decline over recent decades due to agriculture, fuelwood needs, and other pressures.
The initiative has expanded forest and tree cover significantly, while also establishing dedicated funding mechanisms, such as the 2024 Green Legacy and Landscape Restoration Special Fund (allocating 0.5–1% of federal revenue annually). Annual targets remain high: for 2025, the goal was 7.5 billion seedlings, with ongoing efforts building toward even larger cumulative objectives in the coming years.
Beyond ecological restoration, the program drives socioeconomic benefits by creating hundreds of thousands of green jobs—particularly in nurseries, seedling production, and land management—many going to women and youth. It enhances biodiversity, boosts soil health and water retention, strengthens agricultural resilience against drought and climate impacts, and supports long-term food security.
This community-driven, government-backed effort has positioned Ethiopia as a standout example of bold climate action and landscape restoration in Africa and beyond, inspiring similar initiatives while demonstrating how national mobilization can deliver both environmental and human development gains.

Another amazing Brazilian scientist, Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a microbiologist at Embrapa's soybean research center, spent decades studying bacteria that pull nitrogen from the air and feed it to plants.
The result: Brazil went from importing nitrogen fertilizer to becoming the world's largest soybean exporter — using microbes instead of chemicals.
Her work won the 2025 World Food Prize. But the real prize is the 40% reduction in synthetic fertilizer use across Brazilian agriculture.
This isn't just about soybeans. It's about a different model of agriculture: partner with biology instead of dominating it.
The Global South has something to teach the world here

Walmart used its power over suppliers to push grocery prices up. This terrific explainer draws on newly unsealed details from an antitrust case filed under @linamkhan & dropped by the Trump FTC. I’m proud that @ilsr helped get the case unsealed. And thrilled to help tell the story.

NEW: Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices. They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell items at a lower price than Walmart. They're using their size and reach to squeeze out stores across America.
