On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

@trinagolden.bsky.social Fantastic webinar on implementing the new SET guidelines for mainstream schools. Many thanks for your generosity with time and your thoughtful insights.

Best of luck!

Possibly. It's allowed under Section 48 of the Planning and Development Act 2000-2015. It allows local authorities to require developers to contribute financially towards the provision of public infrastructure. Another possibility may be Clar funding.

See if the council places a levy on the developers of new housing estates to fund existing/new infrastructure (like playgrounds) which benefits the local community.

Does Galway Co. Council have a development contribution scheme for playgrounds?

Has the committee investigated Leader funding, Michelle?

Happiest of times ahead to you and your family.

In 2024, only 30% of the global humanitarian aid needed for over 186 million people in 73 countries had been funded, leaving a $34.5 billion shortfall.

Gaps in humanitarian funding result in immense human suffering.

Huge thanks, Trina. Helpful and informative as always.

Documents and reports all published in the last 2 weeks. Is it any wonder that burnout is on the rise? End of term is always a very busy time in schools… let these wait until the new year. #EdChatIE

I asked teachers to share the "opportunities" the supply crisis has created.

➡️ Vulnerable chicken without support
➡️ "Unqualified teachers"
➡️ Super size classes

This impacts EVERY child.

Stop the gaslighting @fiannafailparty.bsky.social & listen. This is a CRISIS, in any language.
