Eoin O'Malley One of the best things about the Irish educational system is the very long holidays. Life is not all about productivity and the economy. These holidays give everyone a chance for a reset, an opportunity to be bored, do nothing, just a little while off the treadmill

As a mother who has lost one of her two sons, I simply want to highlight the sheer devastation the parents are going through. They have lost BOTH sons; their only children. Thankfully they have grandchildren, yes, but their pain is surely beyond measure.
