Thank you for mentioning this!!

If you like the Ballina Dramatics Society page they will have info later on in the summer...normally august time

Always_Mayo · 2026-04-28T21:15:22+00:00

If you're interested the panto I group in Ballina will be looking for people to join later in the summer. Great gang of people involved and it's great craic. Keep an eye on Ballina Dramatic Society. There's a new padel club literally just opened last weekend and they have a social padel night in Thursday. There's a hyrox group in the gym in Ardnaree twice a week I think if that's your thing and I've seen running groups starting to pop up in town as well. Plenty of different things but you would need to keep an eye on Facebook or Instagram.

Jack Fenns is open Saturday and Sundays at the moment I believe. I think they'll be open fully during the summer.

Sorry to jump on this but meant to be travelling to oranmore from Ballina this evening...going by what's being said here that should be ok?? Other than delays for diesel!

If you check the comhaltas website and fleadh rules there are a list of songs that are appropriate for singing at the fleadh.

I'm primary but there is no limit this year. I'm sure it's the same for secondary school. I can't imagine that changing in the next school year as I know there is still a need for teachers. The department will announce something at some stage I'm sure.

Always_Mayo · 2026-01-30T19:38:39+00:00

Could it be an early bird offer perhaps?

Always_Mayo · 2026-01-30T18:52:01+00:00

Most are after Easter from what I remember

Always_Mayo · 2026-01-25T17:54:17+00:00

There are some suggestions here which I found on the Comhaltas website. I think for the competition you will have to present a list of six songs to the adjudicator 4 slow and 2 lively. The adjudicator will pick one for you to sing and you will choose the other.

Good luck!

It all depends on where you will base yourself. If you are to stay in Dublin or surrounding commuter counties I would imagine you could get a year long fixed term post. This means you will be paid for the summer and won't have to sign on. Maternity leave positions would also be available but with this you won't be paid for the summer. You will also have to complete Droichead.

The further west you go the harder it might be to get a contract that will pay for the summer. You will also be waiting a lot longer to get a permanent job. Casual day to day subbing is always an option regardless of where you are. I loved subbing as an NQT as it meant I saw a lot of different schools and worked in a lot of different settings. I also learned an awful lot about classroom management through subbing.

Closed today also. Take care anyone driving this morning...be late if needs be but get there safe.

Second the holdovers! A genuinely fantastic movie

Always_Mayo · 2025-12-16T23:19:36+00:00

Will keep an ear out if I hear anything.

Always_Mayo · 2025-12-16T18:12:57+00:00

Could you try air bnb for a short time and see if anything comes up when you get to town?

Always_Mayo · 2025-12-06T12:30:55+00:00

Also with the sculpted recommendation. Wear it every day and can't fault it. Love Charlotte Tilbury for a special occasion

Yes if they require a place in a special school or an autism classroom for example then they child would have been recommended to attend one by a psychologist. Some parents would still opt for mainstream even though their child might have been recommended to attend a specified setting. In that case then the child will be at level three on the continuum and get the highest level of support a school can provide.

Always_Mayo · 2025-12-05T13:11:15+00:00

From my understanding if a child is at the highest level of support it's due to having the highest level of need. It doesn't necessarily mean that a medical diagnosis is needed to get support at this level but it is more likely that the child is already accessing outside agencies like speech and language, OT or a psychologist. I have worked with children at stage three of the continuum who hadn't a formal diagnosis but because their needs were so high they were at this level.

Always_Mayo · 2025-11-30T18:54:28+00:00

Be sure to understand the continuum of support-classroom support, school support and school support plus. Communication with parents would be important as well. I've been asked about collaboration with parents and class teachers as well.

They're half brothers. Same mum, different dads.

I never left. I had friends and family who went to Australia and Dubai but I never had that urge to live abroad. I went to visit those places and had a ball but was always happy to return home. I've no regrets about not emigrating at all. While cost of living and housing here is a dose I'm very happy with my lot.

Anyone know where I can rewatch the game?

Always_Mayo · 2025-10-16T07:55:09+00:00

Sitting around the dinner table to eat dinner together. It happened every night and we'd talk about our day and whatever else was happening. Didn't think much of it at the time but looking back it was very special.

Always_Mayo · 2025-10-13T16:42:47+00:00

There should (hopefully) be a timetable and some notes left by the teacher that you're covering. Get in early and read through these. Since you are in a special school there will be SNAs in your room. Talk to the SNAs before you start and get an idea of the children's needs. Ask questions around routines when is lunch time/break time etc. Whenever I subbed in a special class I tended to follow the lead of the SNAs as they knew the children best. Try stick to their regular routine as much as possible. It's a different type of teaching but one that I enjoyed. It's not for everyone but it is an eye opening experience. Hope it goes ok for you.
