You are demonstrably NOT all for safety. Days after, trees and tiles weakened by the storm can fall. Electric supplies can be made unsafe. You cannot open schools without proper surveys of damage and potential risks assessed. Tiles only crashed from my parents' house after the winds died down today - not a single one fell when the winds were peaking.
Schools are putting child safety as priority number one. Working parents need to do the same.
Well, the way I see it working people are the pillar supporting the government, schools and children - and in this case they are getting the shortest straw by getting half a day of notice to figure out how to organise everything for their kids (which of course means walking then out and about with all the loose tiles and trees) and still make it to work and back. This process of malking sure everything is safe and secure could have been predicted, timeline of the storm passing was knows days in advance.
I guess it's to be expected, schools in Ireland are organised for some family that doesn't exist in real world - one where one parent minds the children while another earns enough to support the family and cover all expenses.
But yeah, I'm against safety, perhaps I am, perhaps I'm just sick of being told to fucking deal with idiotic timelines and cretinous organisation of the whole system.
