Heathen, coach, language teacher, stranded in a weird place called Dundalk in Ireland. Haven’t found the exit.Mother of gremlins. Can opener she/her

Absolutely shocking to see how many children were let go or brought to an anti migrant protest in Dundalk today. You should be utterly ashamed of yourself bringing kids to shout abuse at their community.
I think a Taoiseach stepping down should trigger a general election and not a party deciding who gets a go to play Taoiseach for a year. That’s completely unacceptable
My attempts in trying to fit into Irish living by cherishing most of it always come to an end when I can’t identify a single Garth Brooks song and not by the life of me understand how he’d fill Croke Park once nevermind 5 times. You guys are winding us blow ins up? Right?
I have not talked about this in 20 years but folx make it necessary. I was assaulted and raped by a leftie icon back then. The ever charming savior, the oh so well educated proletariat fighter. And guess what I never reported it. Because of what I see here 1/2
There are high numbers of foreign trained teachers who would be willing to step in and help yet they don’t want us. Cause a week without Irish and religion is worse than a week without schools. I have zero empathy for
@NormaFoleyTD1
s self made crises. Zero
There is a long established culture of making kids go to school sick with attendance rewards and no wages for parents not able to work when their child gets sick. European counterparts have ten days parental full paid sick leave for a sick child and don’t celebrate attendance
You want to blame someone for the state we are in? Want to have safe schools open? Lay your blame on Norma’s door who has come up with zilch nada nothing prepared to deal with the predicted pitfalls of covid running rampant. Nothing for SN children, nothing for anyone
@TonightVMTV
So her notice was invalid. Throwing shade on a “charity” cause she didn’t give the right notice now. This story gets weirder by the minute.
The amount of ppl laughing that a 42 year old man needlessly died of measles in Ireland is incredible. We have truly missed the point of hundreds falling down the alt right rabbit holes and they dare to blame this on refugees.
@LilyLilyMaynard
Oh look my ma doesn’t accept me and goes out of her way to tell the world my whole medical history. Gosh I wonder why that child didn’t feel safe with her and moved in with let me check? The dad.
Jim Corr standing smirking next to his son attacking a repealer by bracingly asking her how many abortions she had, a boy that wasn’t even old enough to go alone to the shops is an encounter that should tell you all about the “man” he is. He’s nothing more than a bully.
Just to add this before some twat misuses this. I never changed my politics. What happened can happen in any space. It’s the silencing the „pillar of the community“ narrative, he was good to me etc that negates that the same person raped someone else.
The fawning and ignorance over always the good guys, pillars of the left community. It’s never changing, it hasn’t changed in effing 20 years. We see how you believe us but sure they’re your mates. That’s all I have to say. We see you and we don’t believe you
The amount of ppl conflating wearing a mask with child abuse today is staggering. It’s utterly disturbing. Parent WhatsApp’s becoming a complete mayhem. I lay this blame solely on the flip flopping of a government and a completely out of hr depth minister for education
Happy to report whatever devil’s strain of Covid I have, Paxlovid is still working. I’ve moved from the five pits of hell to oh wow my heart rate is not 180 anymore just from standing up and the leaking from my eyes stopped. Get your booster!

@DubCham
Are you joking? What on earth would I take a pay cut for when the owner saves so much money on not having to pay office rent, cleaners, heating, electricity you name it.
@NormaFoleyTD1
The things I’d have to say about this would get me blocked from this platform but I’m telling you this. You have willfully now admitted that you’re ok with vulnerable children and their families getting infected and if this goes wrong we know who did it. This is on you
I for one relieved that NIAC has approved the vaccine for my child who is living with an immune compromised person aka me. He also will receive protection against severe disease for himself and lessen the risk of long covid. We are more than the shouting ppl online
Dear
@hselive
how is it possible that ppl register today and already get appointments when our at risk households registered on the at risk list and hear nothing? Just how?
Leo Varadkar spinning family as the natural care giver and care not being the states responsibility has hammered in a pretty certain no vote. I’m sad we can’t get rid of what we wanted to get rid off though and I think that’s a legitimate sadness. This needs to be rerun
@NoonanJoe
Why does he interest himself with what others are calling that student so to the point of disrupting a school assembly and harrassing a colleague?
The amount of sickness in children at the moment is concerning. No pediatric amoxicillin (where’s the outcry) overburdened GPs and yet all we get is tusla writing letters to parents doing the right thing in keeping sick children home, schools doing attendance rewards
@sarahcareyIRL
Oh look another one who thinks I’m expendable for having an underlying condition. Please come by and tell my children that their mum with her well managed disease that could live a pretty long life is somehow not on your list of ppl who matter. Please do
@AontuIE
Or you could just walk down the road to the Dail and protest there like anyone else instead of intimidating ppl going to a hospital or Dr? But you don’t want to protest you want to scare and harangue pregnant ppl. You lost and you will continue to lose.
@padraigosull
@FergalBowers
@rtenews
Man I feel valued today. I live a full and worthy life. I have lupus and RA so I’d end up in your statistic as ah sure she had underlying conditions? Who to the f are you representing?
That stranger stopped and not only gave me his jacket but handed us money and called a taxi to get us to Dundalk. He didn’t ask why or what he just send a parent home. He didn’t care if I was Irish. That’s Drogheda. Not that hate mongering crowd trying to bank on some hyped story
People who want
#saveourspaces
are definitely not welcome in any space I’m in. But u know who belongs in our spaces? All the wonderful trans people I had the good fortune to meet and canvass with when „our rights“ were debated. Guess who I didn’t see back then?
I think I’ve exhausted current possibilities to highlight the situation of children that are at risk or live with at risk persons. Why
@hselive
chose to sit this out knowingly considering the frantic phone calls and messages only
@paulreiddublin
can answer. Still nothing
This was by far the most hurtful piece of trash broadcasted I've ever seen. I'm certainly not the only woman going to bed crying tonight.
@rte
you should be ashamed for this.
#cblive
@thejournal_ie
Imagine a so called teacher, I refuse to regard this man as a member of my profession, that is refusing to stay away from underage children despite being ordered so and we are still entertaining a disciplinary process. Where’s the teaching council in all this carry on
@josephamadigan
My son says it’s cold in his classroom every day. I give you the advice we heard: buy some thermal underwear. My compassion ended when you abandoned our children with soundbites and bandaids
The Gremlin is back to reviewing albums. After listening to his sisters
@Jamiebower
record: Man he’s sad. I think he’s very sad. But I like him. I need sweets now cause I’m sad now too. Stay tuned for more honest musical reviews by a 5 year old
@jillianauthor55
@thejournal_ie
I didn’t. And I’m easily the same age. Guess where I grew up they weren’t run by church members and underfunded. I’m kind of sorry you want this to be still the reality for your children if you faced that. I don’t
@ciarakellydoc
@squidlimerick
It’s not even correct what you’re saying but let me tell you this Ciara you’re playing the alt right playbook to perfection and you’re not even smart enough to see that
Religion aside I think the children could survive a few weeks without if the crises is so bad that schools are on here daily desperately looking. Let us come and help. Better an experienced foreign teacher than dragging your heels in your impossible process to be extra special.
@ST__Ireland
Teachers are worried if their students have a home that’s warm and has enough food. Stop believing that these telegram mums are teachers. We educate children and want them to survive
After all this unnecessary HSE dilemma to get HR families prioritised we made it. Staff was wonderful at the Fairways VC in Dundalk. The ppl were so good with him. A little bit relieved to be over that first long awaited hurdle. 4 more weeks
#gremlin
Left the house to go to a charity shop. Got convinced on the way to go to the train station and go to Belfast instead by a spontaneous 7 yr old. Had the most lovely day. Sometimes it’s the little things
I am a staunch pro vaccine person but getting vaccine appointments in a hotel outside of town 50 min after school just screams „we hate ppl with no cars“ There’s zero possibility to make the rare bus out there or sigh walk the ten km. For school vaccinations
Last year around that time I got tossed out the Lourdes in
#drogheda
cause they had no bed for my sick child. It was freezing cold we had no jackets and no more buses were running. My phone had no charge we had come by ambulance many many hours before. 1/2
It’s almost hurtful to see the schools crying for help but her and her teaching council have made it impossible for us to step in and help. She’s rather looking away pretending to see nothing. Imagine the arrogance you have to display
@Independent_ie
Anyone still doing responsible journalism in your house? He harrassed a colleague, disturbed a school meeting and put a child’s welfare at risk. It’s not a row when you then ignore you’re put on leave, even get ordered to stay away and still show up
@CloHiggins
You might want to look up the meaning of the word slur there, councilor. And listen to disabled ppl telling you why this is no help to them.
I had to block so many of my German TL in the last few days. It’s like watching a different parallel universe with completely different reporting and no questions asked. The unwavering support for the “self defense” of Israel is just heart breaking .
@hazechu
You might want to tell your own party that instead of a Twitter audience. Last time I checked they propped up everything and defended everything just to stay in government.
If you claimed it was postcode it isn’t . Non high risk children getting appointments in our vaccine center now that registered yesterday. That high risk list is getting ignored
@Anto_Boyle_
Voice shaking like a child caught ringing the door bell. 🔔 end playing walkie talkie with his phone on the Luas. Over and out 😂 You forgot how everyone stood up and clapped and made you president
@NormaFoleyTD1
Maybe ask the parents if they feel they’re children are safe there? With just windows open and spme handwashing and a CO2 monitor that’s going red despite open windows? Yeah no you wouldn’t want to hear that.
What a low bar ppl have that think saying: but no kids died is an argument. Truly there’s not a flea able to dance under that limbo stick. Tell that to the children who passed it on to a vulnerable mother that wasn’t so lucky and to the children suffering from long covid. Ppl
The government that doesn’t care one bit about our children. That’s what I will remember if one of them graces my doorstep. No plans, no filters, freezing classrooms and the answer is don’t go the panto. Might as well ask
@lidl_ireland
if they have some hepa filters
Every single time a woman gets murdered, abused, raped and it ends in the public realm we hear the same promises and pledges and nothing ever changes after. That’s the sad reality. How many times more? What does it actually take?
When your favourite Coffeeshop in town is acting more responsibly than your government. They decided to close to protect their staff and customers not due to a case. Yet we send kids back to school and they can’t even ensure basic safety.
#shambles
@josephamadigan
Are you also ensuring that our children that got forgotten on a high risk list will get vaccinated? Hse is just giving us the run around while we see children that got registered only yesterday and are not at risk getting appointments or are you not aware?
@IrexitFreedom
Get out of our town. No one wants you here. Your last election results should tell you as much. Didn’t even help that your man gave himself the same surname as the SF TD. You’re an embarrassment. Take your three fans and take a hike out of Louth
I’ve been saying it over and over again the process is turning ppl away. The cost is prohibitive and they treat us like inferior beings while enjoying being able to teach every where else just when you want to teach here they’re like yeah no we make it as hard as we can.
I am also really fond of ppl starting their crying over the argos shops closure with “I haven’t been in years but it’s fierce handy” you do get the irony folks, please tell me you do.
#argos
You got an appointment for your non risk child in your non risk family? Cool. Good for you. Flaunting it in a group with parents struggling to get their children flagged? You’re a Knut. Grade A Knut.
@micheal_olainn
@klts0
The virus also stops at school gates they’re totally safe and if someone has it they probably went for pints after their hours in primary school
Does anyone know why you can’t tick your child lives in high risk household when registering? They promised these children would be prioritized yet it isn’t even connected to your pps
@HSELive
I know that people have an easy way of saying stay home with your kids when they display any symptoms. Mine has missed seven days of school so far and had three tests going. I’m doing what I can but I’m in the fortunate position to not rely on goodwill of employers.
@EverySuzerWins
There was a heck load of misinformation shared on losing one parent payments, giving ppl guardianship, and a lot of canceling mommy on these groups. That’s solely speaking of these spaces not others.
Funny how the same people claiming George Soros spent money on political campaigns (no one ever saw that money but bare with me ) have no problem with an American billionaire interfering in Irish politics

@Jenni4Canesten
I have still a half vaccinated child and waiting on my actual booster as I had an extra dose as an immunocompromised person I can’t by the life of me understand how we decided this is over and now rush into full unmasked pubs. Like wtf

I have this fancy red device with Googly eyes called Henry. All he needs is socket and he works his magic through my house. Cat hair, dandruff, Lego he eats it all. Even had a fancy filter. Notions I know
Can’t wait for the Taoiseach to splash out our great tax returns on housing, mental health, finally providing services for ppl with eating disorders, supports for children, education, proper payment for our hcw, reducing the waiting lists oh wait it’s still Micheal scratch that
The now junior infant declared he is finished with people today and has removed himself to my bed upstairs. One can learn from 5 year olds every day.

You do realize there’s tens of thousands of us with auto immune conditions, diabetes, asthma. We are not locked up in nursing homes. We have families, jobs, friends. And on that Note ppl in nursing homes still have lives and families they want to see.
My oldest turned 24 today. It was a wild ride growing up next to this absolutely gorgeous human. What a privilege it has been but also hard. But I’m immensely proud how that tiny human at barely 4 pound turned out to be everything I could have hoped for.
#parenting
To the Drogheda man who handed me his jacket and made sure we got home after a very not great hospital stay with zero possessions on us, we got home. I won’t forget that. You’re a legend
#drogheda
So when you start bashing parents for not being able to do what they’d love to do punch up at a culture that celebrates sick ppl in offices and students not missing a day. That is government wanted productivity that puts public health at risk.
Just to add this. Just because some center had a few spares going and kindly ppl messaged vulnerable ppl the issue isn’t going away and there’s still hundreds waiting for an answer from
@HSELive
delighted for every child sorted but we need the problem sorted not spares
@B1KER42
@PMc276
Our pharmacists would be well trained to prescribe such minor things if we let them freeing up valuable space in overstretched surgeries. Most will prescribe it over the phone without having seen that patient either
Observations after being in a not coping hospital today? We’d be screwed without our 1st, 2nd or whatever generation migrants. Screwed with capital letters. Not 1 “reared Irish” healthcare professional in sight Patrice. I hope you don’t need them cause they’re the last defense
@Independent_ie
Sod off. We are not debating people’s existence and right to be themselves. How about you ensure ppl have a warm home and affordable food and healthcare instead of this imported topic to hide your failures behind
@CMOIreland
Have you any sound advice on primary school kids other than that? How about ventilated buildings, proper contact tracing and an accelerated vaccination program before we are asked to send them back. They’re masters in hand washing they need you to talk ventilation
