Please Share! This is a song my son Jude made as part of a campaign to stop his school – Firhouse Educate Together Secondary from being moved to City West. This would involve a journey of an hour to an hour fifteen each morning and afternoon.
Jude is on the Autism Spectrum and has had various difficulties over the years. Jude loves this school – it is amazing in so many ways. If this goes ahead I’m not sure that it will be possible for him to continue there.

Today we launch our new campaign ‘Come here to me Dublin’, encouraging those living in Dublin to visit the world-class attractions and hidden gems of their home city.
Fáilte Ireland’s new campaign extolling the virtues of Dublin to it’s locals. If only there was a blog of that name that did something extremely similar…
US President Donald Trump claimed Dr. Anthony Fauci (top left), director of the American National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has misled the country on hydroxychloroquine.
He also retweeted a speech by Dr Stella Immanuel (above) on the steps of the US Capitol Hill claiming the malaria drug is a ‘cure for the virus’.
The video was taken down by Twitter citing misinformation regulations after Trump shared it with his 84 million followers
Via Mail Online:
Trump retweeted a post that claimed Dr.Fauci is leading the country in the wrong direction by refusing to endorse the use of the anti-malaria drug in combating COVID-19.
Dr Immanuel slammed ‘fake doctors’ who doubt the efficacy of the drug, and claimed it’s a ‘cure’, adding ‘you don’t need a mask.’
‘If some fake science comes out and says we’ve done studies and they found out that it doesn’t work, I can tell you categorically it’s fake science,’ she said.
‘I want to know who’s conducted that study and who’s behind it. Because there is no way I have treat 350 patients and counting and nobody is dead,’ she said on how she allegedly treated patients with hydroxychloroquine along with zinc, and Zithromax.

Gulp.
Meanwhile…
Dr Simone Gold expresses significant concern about governors infringing upon the doctor-patient relationship, & says that politicians should not be restricting doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine.

This morning.
A Luas extension to Finglas will put a ‘grass track’ through three local parks, according to the plan that has been drawn up by Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
Via RTÉ:
The 4km Finglas track would provide four extra stops on the Green Line, as well as 600 spaces for a new park and ride facility at the new terminus at Charlestown.
The route going out for public consultation would go through Tolka Valley Park, Barnamore Grove linear park and Mellows Park.
A brochure [at link below] published by TII and the National Transport Authority for public consultation states that this will allow most of the new section to be a grass track, which is “an attractive innovation for urban transport in Ireland”.
A few witch trial facts: 20 people were executed in Salem. An estimate of 200,000 were tortured, burnt, or hanged in Western Europe. The last witch trial in Ireland took place in Islandmagee in 1710-11. pic.twitter.com/NSQAF2lJ8r
Mathew Hopkins was 22 ish when he set himself up as Witchfinder General. To find ‘Devil’s marks’ – a painless mark left on a witch by the devil, he poked women with a spike. They would feel no pain because his blade would retract into a spring-loaded handle ‘proving’ their guilt. pic.twitter.com/qQD1MNevGU
Swarm of sun-seeking, beer-swilling pandemic payment dolehead ingrates (out of picture).
Meanwhile…
The Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection has said people who are in receipt of the Pandemic Unemployment Payment should be actively seeking work if their job has been lost permanently.
Heather Humphreys told RTÉ’s News at One in the case of some sectors, like in hospitality, where a person’s job is temporarily paused due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Government is not expecting such people to be looking for another job.
She was speaking after the Department of Social Protection confirmed that 104 people have had their Pandemic Unemployment Payment stopped as a result of checks carried out at airports.
