Iontach go bhfuil muintir na Gaeltachta ag feidhmiú ón mbun aníos chun brú a chur ar an rialtas ar an gceist phráinneach seo. Is é an tithíocht an gad is giorra do scornach na Gaeltachta/na Gaeilge i dtéarmaí inmharthanacht na gceantair sin agus líon na gcainteoirí laethúla.

No known links to anyone in that school found so far.
Gonna edit this. It is a fast moving investigation. It is best to say at this stage that gardai are trying to establish if there are any links between the attacker and any of the victims.

Given the stabbings in the city centre today and what is going on there right now, it is clear something is going very badly wrong in this country. An open and HONEST debate is needed about the social, economic and political causes of it all.

Imagine having to deliver your baby with riots all around, or not being able to get to the Rotunda to have your baby because riots, & all those experiencing pregnancy loss unable to access care, making women & children & everyone feel terrified is all they are doing #DublinRiot

If anyone from a migrant community, or anyone at all for that matter, is feeling unsafe walking home in Limerick tonight - message me and I'll happily walk you home. Hate is not the answer

BREAKING: Israel is raining white phosphorus bombs on the residential areas of Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, in the middle of the night. Israel always commits its most heinous and barbaric crimes just before a “ceasefire”. Pray for Gaza tonight.

On a day of traumatic and unprecedented scenes on the streets of Dublin, I’m immensely proud of the courage, commitment and dedication of the Gardaí I have the privilege to represent and speak on behalf of. The ethos and culture that prevails in AGS is something to celebrate.
