“The plan was education, a good enough job that will carry us through, a pensionable job, then a house, get married, and then have kids ... It’s out the window." Thank you Jen Hogan⚡ and The Irish Times for highlighting the experiences of this generation of young people.

No fancy kit. No fancy sponsorship. No massive support truck. No social media team. Just one boy, with a huge heart and even bigger dreams, and a circle around him who cared. When u have a ‘why’ as important as Marcus ANYTHING is possible. This young man has shown us all that.

This is awful. The number of children waiting more than a year to see a psychologist has risen from over 3,900 in 2021 to almost 11,000 at the end of last year – a jump of around 7,000. We are failing so many of our children.

What a message for our teens and young adults out there.....I am your mother, call me and I will come. [Poetry by Hollie McNish ]

We are all entitled to dignity and respect, and it’s completely unacceptable for older people, who have contributed so much to society throughout their lives, to find themselves in the circumstances depicted in the programme. But shock and anger aren’t enough !! #rteinvestigates

Delighted to be speaking at this free event in Tralee on Saturday! Last chance to book a place, see details below.

The joint attention between this little one, 10 weeks, and her brother - who’s teaching an absolute amazing in how to stimulate baby’s brain.

Lovely meeting the team at Kerry County Childcare Committee and all the dedicated ECCE professionals this morning in the Rose Hotel.

Another great piece from Jen Hogan⚡ “The women sent to the Magdalene laundries never did anything wrong. But that didn’t matter,” I said trying to explain the grip the Church had on the country and what that had meant for women in particular.

❤️❤️❤️

Great article from Dr Richard Hogan "It looks like the French government is resolute and more concerned about protecting children from consuming hardcore extreme material than potential vote loss. We must all learn from France"

Home insurance just gone up from Euro 426 to Euro 543 no changes in policy and no claims. Called the broker asking could they shop around but no better deals. How can insurers justify putting up the fee by almost 25% in one year?!
