🐸🐸🐸Thanks @DrJamesBrunton I really enjoyed the conference, such a collegial and supportive atmosphere with brilliant speakers and lots of inspiring talks including yours! @ppdcuioe @DCU @DCU_IoE @DCUPsychology #PSIConf24

Here's to all the teachers that "get things done" in school & classrooms across the country today. I am inspired every day by your work to transform lives. Those who responded so gleefully to the derision of teachers in the last 24 hrs would do well to walk in your shoes.

V glad to hear that the writer #MaryLavin is being honoured by having a public place named after her. Here she is, amidst all the male writers, on the old Inter Cert. Included is an extract from one of her short stories, Brother Boniface, the magical detail of the ordinary.
