@oide_Ireland Not a single school manager in any school with mixed union or non union membership will implement this circular. (Pretty much every school) One of the most divisive and disrespectful moves I've witnessed by @Education_Ire in my 17 years as a principal.

Comhghairdeas ó chroí! We would like to extend our congratulations to Ailish Whitty on being named Uachtarán Tofa an Chumainn Camógaíochta 👏A highly valued member of the GCC school community – a former BOM parent nominee, and a current member of the Augustinian Schools Trust.

@SmallerFishGAA Didn't Andy spend a few years 'abroad' in the 90s enjoying the sights of London, maybe even the odd bridge.

"I don't know what the scenario is with these Australian guys. I was in Australia, you see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and you see the beach. There's a beach in Tramore" Really enjoying Andy Comerford rattling a few cages in Kilkenny the last few weeks 😀 Not often you get it

@rtenews This is the cohort of students who have benefited least from the Free Books Scheme. Should have deferred for 1 more year.

@CorkHurlingPod @OfficialWexGAA It is clichéd and full of vagueness. The slides of the ppt presentation read as if it is only a review of hurling. Deeper mine into the cause of the apathy needed. Many clubs now see themselves as cash cows for Co Board capital projects it seems, very little else.

This is a very impressive general outline of @OfficialWexGAA plan, they are ticking all the right boxes here and hope it bears fruit for them,shud we be thinking of something similar?Delighted they called out 'apathy' as an issue too,a blite in modern days irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid…

@ExaminerSport Was this a hurling only review by @OfficialWexGAA . No mention of football in that article and little mention of it in the powerpoint slides shared last evening on @wexfordgaa social media. Director of Hurling seems like a mini Tsar position. Is there a football equivalent?

@byrne_padraig How many adolescent/child beds in the 10 announced?

This will be welcome news after a LOT of campaigning in #Wexford going back years. Not a done deal by any means yet, but a significant step. 👇 independent.ie/regionals/wexf…

@rtenews Does this mean that the definition of "need" has now been changed again & that @ncseirl are no longer only allocating SNA for primary needs. If so is it possible that an SNA review will lead to even more SNA for student support in schools.?Or is it a short term political stroke?

An extra €19 million will be allocated to fund special needs assistants following a meeting of Government party leaders and several ministers tonight rte.ie/news/politics/…

@thejournal_ie If the definition of 'need' does not change as part of the review should the outcome not be the same? In particular the focus of NCSE in providing SNA for narrowly defined primary needs to the detriment of other significant needs limiting access to SNA support for a large cohort.

Tánaiste Simon Harris has said a review into the allocation of special needs assistants should be completed within a month. It comes after the junior minister for special education said there was “no point” in setting a target date. thejournal.ie/snas-review-69…

@mob_shark @HoreswoodGAA Declamb Murphy?

Attention all members and locals…… There is a number of sheep on our GAA Complex grounds for the last number of days, causing risk to our members using our club facilities. We ask that these sheep are removed from our grounds by their owner or we will have them removed

There is a 2 card trick being led by the @Education_Ire and NCSE. A strict and narrow definition of a primary needs is required for SNA support for a child. Allocations are reduced not because pupils suddenly need less help but because the definition of 'need' has been narrowed.

A great night out for parents, past pupils, staff members & friends of the school — gather your team, test your knowledge, and enjoy plenty of craic along the way! 🎶🧠 🍷 BYOB on the night 🍿 Nibbles will be provided 🎟 Tickets go on sale via Eventmaster on Friday, Feb 13th.

In my lifetime, I never thought I'd see another vice president as unlikable and repulsive as Dick Cheney. I was wrong. JD Vance will NEVER be elected president. 😳👇
