alone to pursue a scholarship offer to a college in London .
I later learned that some of the childhood friends I had left behind fell victim to the violent crime . One tragically got murdered , and another , my blood brother , was severely slashed in a knife attack . We were kids full of spirit and with immense grit who adjusted instinctively to the hands we were dealt , mine like millions of my Irish ancestors before me , leading me abroad .
In 2021 , the nuns of Clondalkin Village ignored a community-wide plea to protect the cherished Convent site from a proposed € 30 million development project . Despite the community ’ s desperate outreach , the nuns sold the coveted land to an immigrant investment program . This prompts the question : Are nuns in Ireland still prioritizing their authority over the wishes of the community they serve ?

Lorraine Hornby is part of the team that volunteers its time at the Susi Q to help locals who find themselves flummoxed by the complexities of our computerized existence .
“ There ’ s no reason to be embarrassed about what you don ’ t know about your phone and other devices ,” Hornby stressed . “ We ’ re carrying around powerful computers , and it can be overwhelming at times to attempt to comprehend their capabilities .”
The volunteer team answers a wide range of questions .
“ Recently , I helped someone nav- igate the DMV website to renew her driver ’ s license . We can help people find a file they ’ ve lost or organize their information on their laptops ,” Hornby said .
Her best advice is simple : the most important thing is to slow down , take time to read error or odd messages , and not “ just keep tapping .”
Hornby will give a special presentation titled “ Tech Talk : Understanding Important iPhone Settings ” on Thursday , March 28 , from 1 to 2 p . m .
For more information , visit www . thesusiq . org . To RSVP by phone , call 949-715-8105 , or email christineb @ thesusiq . org . Class size limited to 25 students .
