R to @chrisadonnelly: Jake, I don’t know you but that’s a ridiculous statement. Unless you are able to say you would support a Republican parade through similar loyalist areas, then you’re guilty of brazen hypocrisy.

Jake, I don’t know you but that’s a ridiculous statement. Unless you are able to say you would support a Republican parade through similar loyalist areas, then you’re guilty of brazen hypocrisy.

I don’t have a religious nor cultural right to organise nor demand a republican parade through Edgarstown in Portadown nor the Shankill Rd in Belfast. Nor do I have a desire to provoke the type of violent response I’d expect if those parades were forced through such districts.

A technical ruling won’t have any impact at all on loyalist demands to parade the Garvaghy Road in spite of the rhetoric. The very same PSNI that wouldn’t touch a bonfire in south Belfast for fear of a reaction wouldn’t contemplate forcing the Orangemen down that road.

RT by @chrisadonnelly: People asking me to expand about Michael’s safe at portobello barracks during the hours after Beal na Blath. I have spent a long time trying to collect and consolidate everything out there on Portobello HQ; home of the national army in 1922. It started with me trying to track down those responsible for the beating and near killing of my namesake there, shortly after he was arrested in Wicklow. I meticulously researched every reference to portobello at @dfarchives, other archives and at various auction houses, and have found the names finally; and on that specific lane of research, found extraordinary discussions about the Collins safe, and its archived ransacking in the hours after Dublin had found out about BNB. Ask yourselves: Who would want immediate access to Collins safe once his death was confirmed? Who might be concerned about its contents once Michael was out of the picture? Rather than say more than I need to…lets just try a logical list… -The IRB -WT Cosgrave and his friends in Westminster -The National Army Executive

RT by @chrisadonnelly: Jesus wept... Knowledge-rich curricula and DI will deliver educational equity, according to Gove and his cheerleaders. But where is the stable, national evidence that these reforms actually reduce inequality? Good curric and explicit teaching matter, yes. Good pedagogy. But raising attainment is not the same as closing the disadvantage gap. Which is widening... Meanwhile, austerity, sustained cuts to public services and the erosion of support around schools have very real consequences for disadvantaged pupils. So you cannot deepen the material conditions that produce inequality, then present classroom pedagogy as the moral solution to it. That doesn’t add up and I really worry about our current trajectory in NI especially the overstated fact the KR curriculums will close gaps and comparing of whole education systems to make the point when there is variation across some many facets - resourcing and budgets especially - and PISA does not isolate KR impact nor does it point to a certain curric type. Context matters. Transplanting from one place to another should be treated with caution.
