Behind the shock and whispers at this unnecessarily prolonged process we need to reflect on the victims. Donaldson and his wife did not plead guilty, he claimed the victims were liars, put them through a trial and made many attempts to drag the process out. May he rot. www.bbc.com/news/live/cm...

I post about this a fair bit but I still find this statistic absolutely flabbergasting. The country rests on its laurels for how well its population is educated while it cripples the sector by starving the patient.

As well great expressions of collecitve action, strikes are moments of clarification. So happy to have found in comrades in organising and participating on the picket lines in Maynooth some of the most wonderful people you could wish for. Solidarity forever!
