Mighty Makay
by Niall Shanahan

Last night's conference motions on housing got an airing on the RTÉ website and substantial coverage in the Indo, which captures some of the contributions on the housing motions last night, quoting Ger McLoughlin and her very personal account last night of her son's experience, and the legendary Jack McCarthy.

 

Kevin Callinan spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning about new entrants pay (which RTÉ's Brian O'Donovan covers this morning in his conference preview), while Éamonn Donnelly is togging out this morning for the Adhmhaidin programme's coverage of the conference on Radio na Gaeltachta.

 

In other conference coverage, the Indo previewed the Fórsa conference in Killarney in yesterday's edition, leading with motion 15 (by the Finance, PER & Associated Organisations (Clerical and Execuitve) branch ) to pursue an additional LSI.

 

That Indo story includes comment from the general secretary on last night's housing motions, and comments by NEC member Ursula Cox who will propose the NEC motion (35) on Artificial Intelligence (AI) tomorrow morning (Friday).

 

Radio Kerry picked up my interview with Newstalk's Shane Beatty yesterday, lifting a clip about the AI motion. Ursula has focused in on the ethical considerations around the application of AI systems (so I cogged her homework), and I'll be doing a spot with Radio Kerry at 9.15 this morning.

 

Zen

 

Your Zen moment today features conference chanteuse Tolü Makay singing the song with which she closed out last night's conference proceedings. You could hear a pin drop.

 

Have a great day at conference.

 

Niall
