The Minister for Education has said that the government’s optimal objective is to have a full return to school in September for all children.

Joe McHugh said he did not want to envisage a situation where we continue to leave children behind.

He said the Government had to weigh the risk associated with a failure to provide children with education against other public health considerations.

He said that the Government was working towards this full return.

Poo-based, Trump-related ‘Projection Bomb’ visual caper carried out by Twitter Action Ireland, ‘a group of artists and activists’ policing the Twittersphere.

We have carried out this action at Twitter’s EMEA headquarters Dublin in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States and across the world.

We are embarrassed and angry that Twitter’s worldwide dissemination of Donald Trump’s racist views continues to be funded by the Irish state by way of the disreputable Irish tax avoidance schemes…

We call on the Irish employees of Twitter to take action in support of our demands. If you no longer want to work in a environment that facilitates Trump’s racism please make your feelings known to Twitter management.

…Together we have the power to bring about change. Let’s make Twitter Dump Racist Trump.”

FIGHT!
