RTÉ please- detail matters.
Since early this morning I’ve been listening to how today marks the “end of British rule in Ireland”…
Clumsy, insensitive and inaccurate.
There is a lot of celebrate today but let’s not forget that the island was and remains partitioned.

Every week GAA families put their hands in their own pockets to pay for the petrol to go to matches, buy kit for the training and raise funds for their club.

It’s a sad day for Dublin to lose Ciaran Cuffe as its MEP.
Whether here at home or in the EP, he has been a brilliant advocate and I sincerely hope that this is not his last election.

On the face of it, it appears the manner in which Twitter has acted today towards its workers in 🇮🇪 is illegal.
Under law, collective redundancy process must allow for consultation on whether
1) redundancies could be avoided
2) could be reduced
3) and who goes and stays
Treatment of Twitter workers is outrageous -

"Workers in collective redundancy are entitled to 30 days notice & consultation period. The Minister must also be notified. It's not clear whether Twitter intends to abide by this.

I’m no lawyer (neither is the Tánaiste) but we are both legislators and a “right” is something in law.
There is no legal “right to disconnect”

Workers “rights” should be treated like every other “right”
We want remote & blended working to be a much bigger part of life after Covid. Govt is implementing a Plan to make it possible. Right to disconnect already introduced, right to request remote working in train, regional hubs being established & tax incentives being examined
