Living with complex regional pain syndrome and an unhealthy obsession with shoes and handbags!
Yesterday we launched our National Centre for Inclusive Higher Education at Maynooth University! Our key note Professor Penny Jane Burke is an inspiration, as is our director Professor Katriona O'Sullivan! Mercy College choir provided some uplifting music for us. #MaynoothUniversity #SpeirGorm

What an eventful day! Unbearable pain, thought I would need an ambulance. Thankfully, I was able to see a nurse (thinking bad kidney infection). Saw nurse, then Dr, and turns out it's likely a kidney stone 😭 I'm hoping that pain was the worst of it and don't get another! #SpeirGorm

Never mind buying a property. Are there 70,000 rental properties for them? Talk about a face palm moment...
The Government needs to find around 70,000 extra people in a variety of construction-related roles to fulfil Ireland’s housing targets.
To bridge this shortfall, it is asking Irish construction workers the world over to return and “Build Back Home”.

Devastated for Fr McVerry. When I was a teenager, he had a 3 bed flat in Ballymun, 'the hedges' for young men/teens who couldn't live at home. He has always devoted his life to this. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/hous...
