#tallaght — Public Fediverse posts

With the start of a new year we decided to put a bit more effort into the podcast we started in 2025 or 2024 (we can't remember). So sit back, turn the volume up and relax, for an Irish ghost story as part of our podcast 'Your Story', experiences reported by you, the listener.

You can listen on our podcast page at https://www.unexplained.ie/podcasts/

This ghost story comes from Tallaght, south Dublin in Ireland. Enjoy!

Privatisation has been a disaster for our bus services, which workers and commuters are paying the price for!

Every week I get multiple emails from people reporting ghost buses, full buses passing by, and massive delays.

Are you facing the same issues on GoAhead routes??

This government is trying to 'rob Peter to pay Paul', attempting to pit children with different needs against each other because they don't provide the adequate supports.
They have the resources, they have to actually invest it in adequate and early supports for our children.

I raised the one example of Scoil Eoin in Crumlin, which many children from Tallaght go to.

Once again, the housing crisis is at the root of the lack of Public Health Nurses.
Thousands of nurses emigrating every year because they cannot afford rent, and cant access social and affordable housing. This is on top of poor pay and working conditions!

Public Health Nurses are essential for newborn and young children, and very ill patients are now forced to travel to clinics.

This is shocking. This is not what our community is about.
This is what happens when migrants are demonised and racists feel emboldened. We need to reject this and the hateful rhetoric that leads to it.
We need a movement to push back against this government and the hate and lies that are spread by those trying to redirect anger onto migrants and asylum seekers. We can't let this continue.

[20:33] Dermot Desmond writes open letter to Shamrock Rovers fans claiming non-executive directors want Stephen Bradley replaced

Shamrock Rovers co-owner Dermot Desmond has written an explosive open letter to Hoops members claiming that fan-elected non-executive directors of the Tallaght club have been “persistently” seeking to have first team manager Stephen Bradley replaced.

Out campaigning for proper funding for Sacred Heart Junior & Senior Schools in Killinarden.

When I question Micheál Martin on this, he tried to claim that it is all sorted now - but it isn’t!

The school managed to keep it's doors open this month, using and advance on money that was already due to the school next year. But this just kicks the can down the road and means the same crisis will happen in a few months again.

It’s absolute madness that this couple in Kilnamanagh could face significant fines for getting external insulation. I have drafted legislation to exempt nearly all external wall insulation from the need for planning permission, just like solar panels are exempt.

We need to be encouraging and funding people to insulate their homes - not punishing them for it.

Save Our Schools!
Despite Micheál Martin trying to claim the issue is resolved, this is NOT what we're hearing from parents / teachers. It's simply kicking the can down the road by giving an advance on next years funding.
There's a deep funding crisis in both Senior and Junior schools. It is a political choice by government to NOT properly fund our schools.

This must be resolved, and I will continue until it is.

#SaveOurSchools #Tallaght #Killinarden

Save our schools - pay the bills!

I will be raising this in the Dáil this week and demanding that funding is provided immediately. The Senior School ALSO needs urgent funding in order to be able to stay open from next September.
It's good to hear that the Junior School may not be closing, but this is only kicking the issue further down the road

The government can find lots of money when they want to. €140 million a year is given in public funding to private schools!
