@bbctheview @paulgivan @MarkCarruthers7 @SuzyJourno @JonTonge @BBCPlayer This show is getting harder to watch with Mark Carruthers interruptive interview style. I appreciate the time constraints but it's very off-putting and not an enjoyable watch when the interviwee simply doesn't get the opportunity to make their point

Coming up tonight... Education Minister @paulgivan is in the chair answering questions from @MarkCarruthers7 . Plus, political reaction from @SuzyJourno @JonTonge. Join us live at 10.40pm on BBC One NI & @BBCPlayer.

Today is for my father, Pat Finucane. The announcement that there will now be a public inquiry into his murder is very much welcomed by our family. Led by my mother Geraldine, we have campaigned for decades to uncover the truth behind my father’s murder. I want to thank every person who has supported our campaign throughout those years. Today belongs to us all. After 35 years of cover-ups, it is now time for truth.

A welcome and necessary intervention by the Irish Government. The rights of victims of human rights violations must be protected.

Maith thú!

@ClaireLiz4Life People like you are a good reason not to bring children into this world! How very dare you!

HOT TAKE: Not wanting kids is weird and is a cultural or emotional defect. We were made for relationship and are literally biologically wired to have children. It's entirely unnatural to not want them.

I have accepted an invitation to attend the coronation of King Charles lll. We are living in a time of great change. A time to respect our differing and equally legitimate aspirations, and focus on the opportunities the next decade will bring. I am an Irish Republican. I also recognise there are many people on our island for whom the coronation is a hugely important occasion. I am committed to being a First Minister for all, representing the whole community, and advancing peace and reconciliation through respectful and mature engagement. Therefore I will join President of Ireland Michael D Higgins, international figures, other party leaders and the Assembly Speaker for the coronation of King Charles III.

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

I've been informed that our Healthy Happy Minds primary school counselling programme, which made such huge difference to many children with poor mental health, will end on 31 March. It's a massive loss, & of course I've written to the Perm Sec to ask if anything can be done.💔

'The report said a culture resistant to change posed an “ongoing threat” to the organisation’s ability to keep children safe in the present day.'

@Mick_Finnegan Your fight to get to this day has been admirable! Celebrate yourself on making this happen!

Literally in tears right now. But the relief knowing that the truth is finally out there is huge #BreakTheSilence irishtimes.com/ireland/social…

🧵The Mental Health Strategy’s Funding plan set out the need for £9.59million for 2022-23. However only £2.5 million was allocated, leaving a shortfall of >£7million. Over £24 million is needed for 2023-24. Last year’s allocation is a tenth of what is this coming year.

‘Tory cronyism at the heart of the BBC’ Emily @maitlis’ warning in August 2022 when she delivered the MacTaggart Lecture. We can’t say we weren’t warned.

It's an UW report and 3 nests produced 50% of the years owlets so not a stretch for anyone reading it to believe this is great work of UW and the project leader, neither of which played any part of these nests. As you work for UW and you're the partner to twitter.com/SimonGray14/st…

Afternoon .@BarnOwlsNI @UlsterWildlife @daera_ni @WestonFdn I thought after my tweets last week you might have corrected your Bumper Barn Owl Report or at least have apologised for taking my work and passing it off as your own and not crediting me or the other lads in the report.

@AntrimLens @BarnOwlsNI @UlsterWildlife @daera_ni @WestonFdn Anyone following you makes the association with the barn owls straight away. To exclude you is a disservice not only to you but to your dedication to all the work you do in the upkeep and saving of this species

The Removal of the European Social Fund in less than 18 working days will have catastrophic implications for thousands of very marginalised people with mental illness & disabilities in NI. It is unconscionable that this funding has not been replaced. #TimeIsRunningOut

@DrJessTaylor Absolutely!

I would love to see us remove the ‘D’ from ‘PTSD’. Post traumatic stress absolutely exists, but it’s clearly not a mental disorder. Could we move to PTSR? Post traumatic stress response? Or PTR? Post-trauma responses? Why do our natural responses constitute a disorder?

@KennysBookshop What a prize! Would definitely keep you going for a while!
