We’re “just a SNA” -when a child has a meltdown, -needs their insulin, -needs OT implemented -needs intimate care needs attended. -needs a scribe for exams -needs a movement or sensory break, -needs help understanding/reading/writing -for whatever we are needed #respectforSNAs

14 years? He intended to brutally kill her. And her quality of life is now totally compromised. Looking forward to the ‘protect ar wimmen’ tricolour-waving patriots to protest this ridiculous sentence.
Josh O'Brien (22), who left his ex-girlfriend Niamh Kelly (21, pic) blind in one eye and with lifelong injuries after he tried to murder her by stabbing her 50 times, has been jailed for 14 years. https://t.co/F3Ous8Q9SY

#Budget2026 - Workers to bear brunt of ‘belt-tightening’ budget. Trade unions will need to review their bargaining strategies for the months ahead. "Tax bands and allowances aren’t indexed and cost of living measures like energy credits are discontinued" - @kcallinan50 🧵below

The secretary's and caretaker's branches have shown us how to campaign with dignity, solidarity and a community spirit. I'm proud to be a Fórsa union representative and even prouder of them. @Forsaschoolsecs

SNAs are growing tired of seeing their colleagues @Forsaschoolsecs and caretakers being so badly disrespected again as day 5 of their strike continued with no engagement of note- will it be us out next ? @forsa_union_ie #PensionParityNow

We need equality in the workplace, respect for equality at home- cooking, cleaning, raising children- calling sick because of sick kids, attending appointments & birthday parties, homework, planning fun activities & date nights, we’ve a long way to go…#InternationalWomensDay
