Two million people trapped with no access to aid or assistance. Tens of thousands of dead people. The wounded. Orphans. This is the reality in Gaza today.

There’s a worrying tendency in recent reporting to portray Irish as not belonging to the working class. As someone who started life in a Deis Gaelscoil, the question is why certain communities are not being given the same educational opportunities and what can be done about it.

Gloomy, but essential reading #Globalwarming #Climatechange “Yes, these grey skies are ‘global warming’”– The Irish Times
