Dublin Community for Change

I do honestly think that if women were running the world there would be more investment in peace, because basically as women we do not want to see our children killed. Maybe I am completely idealistic, but until we see women in equal positions of power in the world, I just think that we are doomed.

Posted by Simon Harrison in another blog: "The Dublin City Manager has responded to the School Board letter on "overcrowding", with a list of questions that will only delay any decision on slowing down the "precedented growth" that Dublin is experiencing, allowing time for the schools to be properly funded and built.
Please read the letter and make up your own mind on how you can help respond to these disappointing actions by the City Staff."
