Transition Year was introduced in schools almost 30 years ago, in September 1994 - but has it served its purpose? 🤔

👉Shane Coleman asks whether some students are too old leaving school, with some "fellas with full beards" in sixth year.
👉Guidance Counsellor Gemma Lawlor argues we're "affording people the opportunity to really discover who they are and what they want".

"If you're seeking asylum and you're not entitled to asylum, don't come to Ireland" - Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan. A charter flight containing 32 people who received deportation orders left Ireland last night. Yesterday’s flight was the first operation conducted under a contract signed by the State last November for the provision of charter aircraft for these purposes. Minister O'Callaghan said the flight which left Dublin for Tblisi in Georgia was sanctioned by the Department of Justice, and those on board landed safely in Tblisi. #news #ireland #irishnews #irishtiktok #irelandtiktok
