And of course the tragedy is that those most vulnerable in Gulf societies are migrant workers from Global South countries whose explored labour is vital to sustaining "expat" comfort, security and luxury. Three migrant workers from the Indian subcontinent have been killed in UAE by Iranian attacks.

Yes exactly. I was impressed by how she pointed out the exploitation of the man’s disability.

Very powerful explanation of inclusion and care (and lack of both)

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

👕 Today, we launch 'Making Strides for Solidarity - our new 5-year Strategic Plan. Planning for growth and greater impact across Ireland and internationally. Community Integration is vital for everyone in our societies but it needs planning, focus and vision. That's where we come in💙

Data centres driving more fossil fuel consumption... not just in the US.

Great speech, we need more plumbers and plasterers in politics (especially female ones!). Resonated here when Irish news today reporting record numbers of people not being able to afford electricity.

Great to wake up to some good news!

Record number of journalists and media workers killed in 2025, mostly by Israel, report finds A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work last year, two-thirds of them killed by Israel, the Committee to Protect Journalists said on Wednesday. It was the se...

Communities fight 'corporate' bid for seaweed rights Communities on Ireland's west coast say they will fight to safeguard their traditional seaweed rights against what they describe as a "corporate takeover "of their livelihoods.

Myself and Colin Breen have written in "Maritime Ireland" about seaweed harvesting on Ireland's coastline, in 19th century. These are local rights, well known and established through built features (e.g. wrack walls, kilns, etc). There is no way that such rights be taken over by foreign companies.

Read this thread. It’s really important.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

Should be the top story everyday.

On a pedestrian crossing. This is completely out of control. RIP to the seven people killed by motorists this weekend.

Angel Sharks are in real danger of going extinct locally, which would speed up their demise globally, because of the way the Irish government is issuing tangle net licences.

Bus drivers' union want to see hi-vis jackets become 'mandatory' for cyclists The union said that the issue has grown due to a ‘proliferation’ of electric vehicles.

We firmly oppose this measure, as existing evidence indicates that such laws do not, in fact, protect people who cycle.

The union should be calling for better active transport infrastructure instead of deflecting responsibility to the most vulnerable people on the roads.

Travelling to the US is just not worth the risk these days.

💙 Saturday was all about love across our community. Tralee wore red, Corkagh Park had some birthday cake, Moate climbed Rosemount Hill, Limerick braved the ice to welcome Nana King, Fairview jumped with visiting friends, TVP parkrun was packed, and Cobh gathered by the sea. #SpeirGorm #RunAsOne

Speaking on the same show this morning, Minister for Health, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, said the government would support the Master of the Rotunda, Professor Sean Daly, “as best appropriate” if he chose to take a judicial review application against the decision.

Leaving aside the broader story very funny to see the government, which has been blaming judicial reviews for every ill in the country, suddenly decide JRs should be supported when they align with what they want

YOU ARE NOW ENTERING FREE MINNEAPOLIS painted on a wall in the style of the Free Derry Corner.

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

Love the killer whale unicorn combination!! Happy birthday celebrations to you all!

These people seem to see The Handmaid's Tale as a blueprint, not a warning.

Someone asked me this week if people in Sanctuary Runners just run together or do relationships extend beyond that.

I whipped out this photo and story to show them. It captures the spirit so well... so much more than 'running'.

🔵 DELIGHTED to partner with Cork City Marathon for the new ‘NextGen Solidarity 10k’ on May 31! Students across Cork will run in solidarity with all in their community 🌍💙 First run launched with @cercork.bsky.social & their mascot 🐓 – stay tuned for updates!

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

Stop a Canadian corporation harvesting huge forests of seaweed from the west coast There should be a public consultation on this plan opening soon but lets gather signatures to demonstrate the fact that up and down the west coast, thousands of people don't want our seaweed rights gi...
