The extent to which the Irish mainstream media has allowed its integrity to be compromised by unashamedly partisan & contradictory approaches to stories is deeply concerning, not least given the difficulties faced by the traditional media in the new era.
@gavreilly Amazing the way @RadioBrendanRTE doesn’t want to discuss it - but was well able to discuss the Brian Stanley allegations (not admissions) at length for weeks on his show! Different rules for FG!

1. Peter Martin quite uncomfortable discussing the £710k school pitch saga for obvious reasons. This is far from over. 2 Unions need to stop talking about general ‘workload’ & nail key concerns re burgeoning SEN admin & culture of shifting duties of bureaucracy to schools.

@Toibin1 @Muinchille Indeed, Peadar. Let’s hope the Irish Govt parties get serious soon about leading the planning and preparation for unity.

@mickthehack @kateyo Tbh wholly logical and something we should have anticipated. Makes sense for Ireland to develop its own defence capacities now, regardless of the NATO chatter from usual suspects.

@MrVirtueSignal @abc15 No, it’s not. Horrific experience for all, and I sympathise with anyone facing that plight. Fact some in media will frame story to minimise plight of Palestinian hostage betrays an in built prejudice that helped create conditions for a genocide. That can’t be ignored.

The evidence clearly points to the accuracy of the assertion. It should- and could- be a matter addressed to the Dublin govt bankrolling the £40m RAISE project & should also lead to an independent investigation re EA fund allocation in NI.
Not exactly honeymoon over but small cracks appearing in DUP-SF relations on foot of @GAHargan Lisneal College story and RAISE. Sinn Féin scrutiny committee vice-chair Pat Sheehan says education minister is ‘ignoring objective need’ in funding allocations
