That’s over a million people. Lebanon has 5-6 million people in total. We’re one of the smallest countries in the world, and Israel is rendering Lebanon’s agricultural areas uninhabitable by ethnically cleansing its people, spraying its land with herbicides and obliterating everything else.

Listen up Irish government

🇪🇸 Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez: “It is possible to be against a hateful regime, as Spanish society as a whole is against the Iranian regime, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention.”

Gas prices jumped again this morning and are on track to double - a stark reminder of our exposure to fossil fuel volatility.

The real solution isn’t more drilling, but moving away from combustion: electrify, use renewable power, and boost energy efficiency.

Looking to the future, we’ll keep championing community integration so everyone feels they truly belong. 💙

The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu on 21 November 2024 and it has made no difference to how Netanyahu is covered in the press. We’re all supposed to pretend not to know that he is accused of deliberately starving civilians.

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

Energy security anyone?

(as in we must build LNG infrastructure in Ireland to be ‘secure’)

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)

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

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!

"the core message of Sanctuary Runners is "action not words"."

Very good article from Teresa Mannion of RTE about the transformative impact of spending time together - running, walking, cheering, volunteering...

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
