More unpaid roles. These devalue the field in general, and are exclusionary to so many who can't afford to not be paid for their work. Richard Boyd Barrett Mark Smyth Vincent McDarby @DonnellyStephen

Delighted to see this gaining some traction. Single parents are particularly locked out of any opportunities to progress in the field, despite the wealth of knowledge and experience we possess. #fairpayforwork @CareforPsychs HSE Ireland Richard Boyd Barrett Mark Smyth PSI Early Graduate Group

I’d rather live next door to someone who crossed the oceans with a child to escape death and violence than a citizen who wouldn’t cross the street to help a foreigner.

February we heard that the Department of Social Protection is short of staff to process 300 PPS Cards for asylum seekers incarcerated in Red Cow Hotel Direct Provision Centre in Dublin. 2 days ago the Minister went to the Airport to issue PPS Cards to refugees from Ukraine. DP brutality is a choice!

β€œPeople don’t care WHAT you did your PhD on, it just shows them that you have critical thinking skills” is an interesting position because if I was truly in possession of critical thinking skills I would not have done a PhD

I can't believe I'm finally Dr Higgins! It's been a crazy ride, I couldn't have made it without the support of my friends and family, especially Unai Diaz-Orueta who started as my supervisor and ended as my family. Here's to the next chapter, I can't wait to see what it brings!!
