Graduating from St Xaviers College to my Masters in English from Calcutta University to my B.ed from Loreto College to teaching English, life has always been a frenzy with a pandora s box of emotions tucked away in the closed chambers of my heart because entertaining them required some pause in the otherwise busy lives and that was an impossible task even if I were granted a boon of several extra hours during the day. . Came COVID and memories have tumbled out of trunks of regret, happiness, pain and subsequent healing. To remember the past and recreate the reality that once existed with words is a privilege I have these days. This uncanny pause has its benefits too.
Dublin grandmother Eileen Smith became a social media influencer in her 70s posting selfies of her outfits from home. She has 55,000 Instagram followers on @eileenstylequeen and last year she became a TV presenter on RTÉ. Eileen worked as a legal secretary before marrying at 21. Her husband, Larry, was a pilot with Aer Lingus for 25 years and they have lived around the world, spending 10 years in Dubai and they also lived in Khartoum, Japan and Stockholm. The couple live in Dublin 4 and have four children and 13 grandchildren.
It’s easier to make promises in opposition than it is to implement them in government. Sinn Fein is seeking to broaden its electoral base to appeal more to the middle and aspiring middle classes, the very people that send their children to fee-paying schools in Dublin where most are located.
The party has softened some of its more extreme tax proposals in recent years to win over that vote. It risks alienating the parents of the 25,000-plus pupils in fee-paying schools because of a point of political principle that wouldn’t save any money in the long run.
The reality is that ending taxpayers’ support would drive most fee-paying schools into the Free Education scheme where the teachers’ salaries have to be paid anyway and where schools would become entitled to building and other grants. And what about those smaller Protestant schools whose continued existence would be under threat?
