We all know the financial pressure that Christmas can bring. Now imagine you are a parent in a new country seeking asylum with your children and a weekly allowance of €38.80 (adult) €29.80 (child).

There's currently 7,758 children applying for asylum in Ireland.
Nobody really talks about those children.
I thought it might be an idea to discuss where those children are from, why their parents may have left and why they may have come to Ireland.
CW: distressing images.

Please engage in anti-racist work in Ireland. We can work locally. Raise awareness and push our elected officials to legislate on hate crime as a matter of urgency. We might not change lunatics but deterrence is importance. Our laws and structures must make racists think twice.

Irish universities have the data that racism exists. Irish society has the data that racism exists. Yet we are failing in countering racism. Our institutions are white. Minorities are not represented in media. We fail to even speak of racism in Ireland & minorities suffer daily.

Delighted to see our @ACEUCC Sanctuary Scholarship launched for the upcoming academic year @UCC. Great range of part-time courses available for eligible applicants - this year’s scheme is also available to displaced Ukrainians. For further details see ucc.ie/en/ace/sanctuaryschol… – at Cork, Ireland
UCC Fáilte Refugees Society retweeted
It is the first fellowship of its kind in Ireland’s higher education sector.
UCC has also launched a new free 3 day short course for displaced Ukrainian students recently arrived in Ireland.
The courses will run from 19th April-2nd June and students must be at least 18.
