My friend's daughter was in her third year of Uni and set to become a very good nurse. She only had 4 months before graduating. Whilst on a shift in hospital, she was told by a senior nurse that out of all the nurses set to graduate, they would all be competing for just a handful of places, meaning many of them would NOT be employed for the job they had spent 3 years training for. She cut her losses, quit Uni a few weeks later after having that information confirmed, and got a job working for a big insurance company. Another girl, very close to our family, also spent 3 years in Uni, from 2022 - 2025 studying to become a radiographer. After their final exams, all of those studying the same course (around 34 students) were told that only 8 of them would be successful in gaining employment as a radiographer with the NHS. They even advised them to consider emigrating to Australia through a programme, and that they would get financial help for the first year if they accepted. Fortunately for her, she was successful in getting a job in Cardiff. But having been there for over 7 months, she is struggling to understand why so many graduates are not being offered jobs with the NHS, when they are recruiting nurses from other countries... Like, are there vacancies, or not? And why are many nursing graduates being overlooked or being told there are no jobs, when there are jobs which are being given to foreign nurses? It makes no sense at all...

The Oval Office has changed a bit since 1970.

If one had asked Micheál Martin in 1997 or 2007 if children could change sex, his answer would have been "no". I'd love to know what precise piece of information persuaded him that three millennia of humans, including him, were wrong about that.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirms he believes that children can be transgender, but says he doesn't want to be drawn into "culture wars like they have in the UK": Gript - "Do you believe that a child can be transgender?" Taoiseach Micheál Martin - "Yes - I do believe [that]."
