#speirgorm - de we know anyone involved in local politics/services who might be able to help a Swedish woman in acute need in the Rosslare area? She moved to Ireland over the weekend but her accommodation turned out to be a bluff, deposit and rent gone, she needs somewhere to stay urgently.

“The harsh reality is that State funding per student is now over 30% lower in real terms than in 2008. This country ranks 36th out of 37 OECD countries for investment in higher education as a share of GDP,"

Universities are to tell an Oireachtas committee that they are at capacity and teetering on a cliff-edge unless the Government addresses a funding gap in higher education.

Central Recasting@recastsocial.bsky.social

Jackie Chan was supposed to be in Big Trouble In Little China. A massive thank you to @deirdreflynn.bsky.social for being the guest on the second episode of Central Recasting. We talk John Carpenter's monsters, subversion of stereotypes. Listen here linktr.ee/memorytinire...

#AcademicSky and #IrishStudies Would anyone have a pdf of Rosemary Erickson Johnsen, “The House and the Hallucination in Tana French’s New Irish Gothic” in Domestic Noir, 2018, pp. 221-23 I seem to have misplaced by copy!

I really appreciate every share on this episode - I’ve known Cindi for over a decade and this is her first time ever speaking publicly about what happened to her in Bessborough.

Ireland’s notorious mother and baby institutions operated until the late 1990s. Zoei Bonny was the last baby to die under the care of Bessborough, in Cork, in 1994. Her mother Cindi shared her story with me a few days ago. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...
