I’m over on BlueSky (mostly) now and would love to reconnect with you fine folks over there. It’s got the pre-nightmare vibes this place used to have.

OR… Ireland needs more landlords that see renters as human and not cash cows.
Mar 29
Ireland needs more landlords with five or more properties who treat renting as a business, rather than one-off landlords who see it as their pension, according to Fine Gael MEP Regina Doherty. jrnl.ie/6994294

Remembering Ann Lovett and her baby boy on their anniversary. May they rest in peace.

The use of victims’ counselling notes in court cases is cruel, inhumane & abusive, ethically abhorrent, counter to every single tenet of therapeutic practice, & an inexcusable betrayal of a client that has already survived extreme trauma

The @Limerick_Leader have yet to respond to contact highlighting their recent irresponsible reporting on suicide. Article remains live. Clicks over risks?

The tech discrepancies between Limerick county council meetings (Dooradoyle vs Adare-Rathkeale) is crazy. What a treat to be able to actually hear people, not to mind see them too at today’s full council meeting. What a time.

Incredibly disappointing to see @limerickpost recent irresponsible reporting on suicide. Even more concerning is their refusal to alter or remove it after being contacted on the seriousness of the matter numerous times.

Limerick deserves better. Limerick families, communities and services working on the ground deserve better.

Hello @limerickpost your recent coverage of suicide related events flies in the face of almost every media guideline for responsibly reporting on suicide. Do the right thing, remove these “stories” and do better.

Recent reporting on murder-suicide in Ireland has been grim. The level of speculation and detail is unnecessary and downright harmful. We need to do better than this.

One simple thing media outlets can do to reduce the harm in reports on murder-suicide is to close their comment sections. Absolutely nothing helpful happens there.

Build your own timeline, eliminate the bot/toxic junkyard content and find fun and thoughtful community again. It could be similar to our prior internet corner, if we make it so.

One of the wonderful bonus joys of having a baby is getting to read children’s books again. Last night we read Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo and I’m certain that we enjoyed it more than baby did.

The Primary School Survey is now open. Make sure to have your say on whether you believe primary schools should have religious patronage or not.

Mortality, witnessing and waiting rooms as liminal spaces. A great piece on another element of care work.

If all camogie players continue to have to wear skorts, all referees and match officials should also have to wear them.
Watch how fast change would happen.

Thrilled to have successfully defended my PhD thesis earlier this week 📜
I have learned so much about suicide and death content online in this time - most of all, how much we don’t know!
Enormous thanks to @stritchj, Dr. Frank Houghton, @TUS_ie @LorcanByrne3 @DeathRef
