🧵 As we look towards the #LateLateToyShow next week, it's time to remember that everyone - including the State - will expect us all to donate generously to the very worthy causes supported financially by the Toy Show Appeal. Let's think about this.

I feel like actually access to knowledge and learning is a universal good which shouldn't be available only to the rich, to the 'time rich', to the 'clever', or to the 'hard-working'. It should literally be available to everyone to engage with, for enrichment, for knowledge, for a better world.
I wish there was more emphasis on access to education disentangled from employability and focusing instead on enrichment because people who engage with education (or have the ability to) as enrichment interact with it differently. (And that's a whole society thing, not an in-uni thing) 7/7

As an Irish man living in England, I've loved seeing the roundabouts near me painted with a George's cross. It gives me a few seconds of pure joy driving straight over the top of it.

The Tories are named for an Irish word, 'Toraidhe'/'Tóraí' meaning highwayman, or robber.
So we could help you out again by renaming UK Labour the "Sleeveens" from 'Slíbhín', meaning conman, honourless person or habitual liar.

Lemass wasn’t the absolute worst (as FF Taoisigh go) but he did introduce the 1935 Conditions of Employment Act which restricted women’s access to the workplace. His biographer says he was sexist & regarded women’s employment as ‘contrary to the Irish way of life’, so that’s a no from me. #speirgorm

In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

I quite literally will never understand this take. I know that we always need *some* rental property available but the vast majority of people in Ireland want to own and we can't because of *drumroll please* landlords buying multiple properties to rent. Them leaving the market is what we want.
Landlords 'stampede' out of rental market ahead of new changes coming next year

The new rules and regulations will not affect tenants that have been in place before March 1 and after that date, they will see a six-year tenancy agreement put in place
Renters could be facing an even more uncertain market in the months ahead of new tenancy rules that are coming into effect
