A lovely moment. Since the topic was obstetric violence, I’ll look for a charity that Philomena would have approved of for the prize money.

Releasing a 2800 page report during a pandemic when most academics are a) slammed working from home to balance teaching and care work b) can’t get to archives even of the records that *are* accessible c) often impacted by the issues themselves is kind of a master stroke by govt.

Well, I for one am very glad to have emigrated to *checks notes* Brexit Britain in time to escape the rise of vicious populists including *squints* Eoin O Broin and Pearse Doherty.

I sat my Leaving Cert in 2000. I sat it a few hours after waking up to find our house on fire. And I did such a good Leaving Cert I got a scholarship and a medal with the face of a dead Irish patriot on it. I think the Leaving Cert should be cancelled this year. You’re welcome.

Donnelly says it "simply wouldn't be possible" for circumstances to arise that a woman would be denied an elective termination at the hospital, and if it were to arise, it could be escalated so that the Minister for Health could exercise 'golden share' powers to ensure provision

Is academic freedom the freedom to develop aggressive theories about minorities in order to uphold structural violence? Going on the last 500 years, yes probably. And there’s your trouble.
