#OnThisDay 1922 Michael Collins, Commander in Chief of the National Army was shot dead when ambushed by the IRA at Béal na Bláth, Cork. When advised against making the tour of army positions in Cork, Collins responded; "They won't shoot me in my own county,". #Ireland #History

Pope Francis was the rare leader who made us want to be better people. In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another. Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”

Fantastic recognition of student work within @OideTechinEd (Young Economist of the Year). Congratulations to colleague @econrachel for her leadership on this.
