Another strike hits Oberstown Children Detention Campus this Tuesday, the second of eight-hour walkouts since June — staff are demanding safe staffing levels and a real solution, not just temporary fixes.

A damning inspection reveals Crannóg Nua, a court-ordered facility for vulnerable teens, is dangerously understaffed — even with just five kids present, care relied heavily on agency workers and overtime.

Inside Ireland’s HSE, a damning internal report reveals that immigrant staff are quietly suffering racial abuse — too afraid to speak up because management often ignores or mishandles complaints. With 126 nationalities represented, the health service prides itself on diversity — but without trained leaders, clear policies, or real accountability, progress stalls. Diversity training?

The Department of Education is finally reviewing primary school hours, sparked by a Finnish-inspired push for shorter days and more breaks. Critics, including the Green Party, argue that unchanged schedules since 1995 no longer fit modern family life, especially with kids juggling 12 subjects and extra programs.
