With the new Cabinet being announced recently, you may have noticed the gender imbalance in particular, with three women at the Cabinet table: Helen McEntee, Jennier Carroll MacNeill and Norma Foley.Is this something to be concerned about?Frances Fitzgerald, former Fine Gael Tánaiste and MEP, joins Kieran to discuss.

Pat Leahy and Jack Horgan-Jones join Hugh Linehan on today's Inside Politics podcast to discuss the week in politics: It came a day later than expected, and along predictable lines, but we have a new government. Only Fine Gael's Peter Burke has retained his ministry, with Fianna Fáil's James Browne taking on the seemingly impossible job of Minister for Housing. But will voters punish this government if it fails, like the last one, to adequately address the housing crisis?Cabinet appointments have been criticised with only three women becoming Ministers. Fianna Fáil's decision to appoint one woman, Norma Foley taking over as Minister for Children and Disability, is particularly noticeable. Did Micheál Martin foresee the criticism and choose to ignore it? And the first two days of the 34th Dáil couldn't have been more different. Thursday's sedate and predictable sitting was preceded by chaos on Wednesday as the vote for a new taoiseach was suspended amid loud protests from Opposition parties over the decision to grant Opposition speaking time to four Independent TDs who are supporting the Government. Does this point to closer Opposition cooperation during the lifetime of this government?Plus, the panel pick their favourite Irish Times articles of the week, including the end of liberalism in the US, Miriam Lord on Wednesday's fireworks in the Dáil, and how does the show go on for Hollywood?

Norma Foley, Minister for Education, reacts to some school closures across the country due to heavy snowfall.

 If there's nothing else you can say about the Minister for Education, Norma Foley. When we look back at 2024, it's likely she will feature heavily. Whether it was her crisis opportunity during the general election campaign or her 9 million Euro phone pouches, in this episode, join me as I look back on a year where the Department of Education were more interested in smartphones than teacher shortages and where all of the problems in the education system seemed to be defended by throwing free school books and free school lunches at parents. So without further ado, let's review the year from January to June.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an séú lá is fiche de mhí Dheireadh Fómhair. Is mise Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh. Dúirt MLA de chuid Pháirtí na Comhghuaillíochta, Kellie Armstrong, gur léir gur éadóchas ar son Fheidhmeannacht Tithíochta Thuaisceart Éireann a bhí ann nuair a cuireadh daoine i gcochall taobh amuigh de Bhéal Feirste. Tá sé deimhnithe ag Feidhmeannacht Tithíochta Thuaisceart Éireann go n-úsáidfear ceithre chochall ag saoráid óstáin in aice le Béal Feirste “ó am go chéile agus mar rogha dheireanach”. Dúirt ionadaí na Feidhmeannachta Tithíochta go bhfuil na cochaill "te agus compordach." Dúirt MLA Alliance Kellie Armstrong le BBC News NI nach bhfuil siad oiriúnach nó inghlactha. "Tá an geimhreadh ag bualadh linn. An féidir leis an fheidhmeannas Tithíochta a bheith cinnte go mbeidh na cochaill seo in ann déileáil leis an aimsir athraitheach, go mbeidh siad in ann déileáil le stoirmeacha?" Dúirt urlabhraí ón Fheidhmeannacht Tithíochta nach n-úsáidtear na cochaill ach sa ghearrthéarma agus go bhfuil siad de dhíth mar gheall ar éileamh gan fasach ar thithíocht shóisialta. Mhéadaigh líon na ndaoine a cuireadh i lóistín sealadach ó 4,527 in 2020 go 16,943 in 2023, a dúirt an t-urlabhraí. Úsáidtear na cochaill seo chun lóistín a thabhairt do “dhaoine singile nó lánúineacha atá gan dídean”. Bhí freagraí á lorg i dTeach Laighean le linn na seachtaine faoin “leithcheal gníomhach” a deirtear atá á dhéanamh ar dhaltaí na sraithe sóisearaí i scoileanna Gaeltachta agus lán-Ghaeilge. Triúr Teachtaí Dála a cheistigh an tAire Oideachais, Norma Foley, an tseachtain seo faoin chóras marcála atá in úsáid do chúrsa Gaeilge T1 na Sraithe Sóisearaí. Dúirt duine de na Teachtaí Dála sin, Darren O'Rourke ó Shinn Féin, go bhfuil “imní mhór” i measc lucht scoileanna Gaeltachta agus lán-Ghaeilge faoin chur chuige marcála don chúrsa. Is é an cúrsa T1 don Teastas Sóisearach an cúrsa nua a tugadh isteach in 2017 do dhaltaí i scoileanna ina mbíonn an teagasc trí mheán na Gaeilge. Déanann daltaí scoileanna Béarla cúrsa T2, cúrsa nach bhfuil an dúshlán céanna ag baint leis. Ach tá cuid mhaith de mhúinteoirí agus de dhaltaí sna scoileanna míshásta leis an tslí a bhfuil an cúrsa T1 á marcáil. Ní fhaigheann ach líon beag daltaí na marcanna is airde sa scrúdú T1 i gcomparáid leis an líon mór daltaí i scoileanna Gaeltachta agus lán-Ghaeilge a bhíodh ag fáil na marcanna is airde nuair a bhí aon scrúdú comónta amháin ann. Dúirt príomhoide Gaelcholáiste amháin le Tuairisc gurb amhlaidh gur “díspreagadh” do dhaltaí a bhfuil Gaeilge líofa acu atá sa chúrsa T1, atá “níos deacra” ná cúrsa Gaeilge na hArdteiste. Bhí sé i gceist cúrsa T1 agus T2 a thabhairt isteach don Ardteist ach cuireadh stop leis an phróiseas sin dhá bhliain ó shin.Tá teipthe ar an iaraltra agus dúnmharfóir ciontaithe Lucy Letby chun achomharc a dhéanamh in aghaidh a ciontaithe as iarracht cailín óg a dhúnmharú. D'áitigh dlíodóirí Letby i gCúirt Achomhairc na Breataine gur cheart an cúiseamh iarrachta dúnmharaithe a chur ar sos toisc go ndeachaigh tuairisciú na meán cumarsáide ar a céad triail i bhfeidhm go héagórach ar a cás. Mhaígh siad gur bhain an aird seo ó na meáin chumarsáide le dochar tromchúiseach agus buan, rud a d'fhág go raibh an atriail éagórach. Ach dhíbh triúr breithiúna sinsearacha achomharc Letby i ndiaidh na héisteachta i Londain. Gearradh 14 ordú saoil iomlán ar Letby roimhe seo as dúnmharuithe seachtar leanaí agus as iarracht ar dhúnmharuithe seisear eile, le dhá iarracht ar leanbh amháin, agus gearradh téarma cúig bliana déag uirthi as an ionsaí ar Leanbh K. Seo é an dara hiarracht achomhairc ó Letby a caitheamh amach. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

With students having just gone back to school, a former Clare educator is warning that mobile phone usage will have a negative impact on students grades. Last month Minister for Education, Norma Foley, announced that she would be pushing for the implementation of a ban on mobile phones during the school day. A Chicago based study carried out in February of this year found mobile phones seriously impacted student's cognitive function while the knowledge that their mobile phone was nearby impacted test performance. Retired deputy principal of Rice College, John Burns, believes the best way to implement a restriction on the use of mobile phones at school, is to confiscate them if used during class time.
