The destruction of Gaza. Genocide.

Just saw a clip of CB this morn Well done to that woman Liz who asked Pascal Donohoe & Jack Chambers if they had any idea what it was like to live alone on a pension ... the way Pascal responded to her with a tone of annoyance "Yes we do Liz" ... really?! The disingenuosness of it #Speirgorm

The physio put some compression bandaging on my knee cause she said theres still a lot of fluid in it. It's almost 10 months on from my fall 😭 but the compression bandaging gives great relief.

Yes thats true, better to feel sadness, even despair than to feel nothing, as you said it's when you feel nothing that you give up 💜

It really is so difficult to not completely despair. I'm really glad they published it too. I'm sitting in a waiting room for an appointment & have been trying to hold in my tears. It really struck me too how so many were toddlers & babies, the callousness & cruelty of it. You are doing v good work.

It’s really hard not to give in to hopelessness in moments like those. I’ve written about it at length trying to really focus on what justice would look like, could but most importantly should look like. So many also were under the age of 3. I’m glad, however, that a news outlet published it.

for to account as those you don't. I believe the ppl I voted for are good people with good intentions but at the moment I am just not hearing their voices.

I know you are prob right I voted predominently for Soc Dems & independents & feel really dissapointed with them too. I suppose it just doesn't feel like there's much of a democracy when not all TDs have a say in representing the ppl who elected them. I think it's as important to hold those you vote

I actually don't think i've ever read anything as devastating as this ever. Can't fathom such evil being commited against children, I don't think there is any type of justice that will ever be able to remediate for this. I think humanity is lost. #GazaGenocide

#GazaGenocide this is the saddest thing ever 💔

💔

🥰

This is beautiful 😊

Felt kind of enraged reading this because I know of a few families with children in this exact situation now living in overcrowded conditions & who are actually being housed by the State/AHBs. It's so upsetting that we are a rich country that treats our children like this.

This piece is well worth reading #childrensrights #housingcrisis

I suppose i'm just shocked at that ... the fact that we have a gov that don't employ any of these things, critical thinking, risk assessment, consideration of research/evidence. You would be failed in college/uni if you did this.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

Five Irish citizens among those detained by Israel on Gaza-bound flotilla Author Naoise Dolan and Independent TD Barry Heneghan among those on board boat captured in Mediterranean

“We don’t take stupid risks, we don’t take unnecessary risks, but we do take risks that we see as required in order to challenge Israel’s illegal blockade and defend Palestinian self-determination,” Naoise Dolan said in a voice note before her boat was intercepted.

Five Irish citizens among those detained by Israel on Gaza-bound flotilla Author Naoise Dolan and Independent TD Barry Heneghan among those on board boat captured in Mediterranean

Five Irish citizens have been detained by Israel on new Gaza-bound flotilla, including author Naoise Dolan and independent TD Barry Heneghan.
The others named by organisers as Fionn Macarthur, Veronica O’Keane, and Mutaz Jadaan.

Two Irish novelists have now done more to break the blockade and end man-made famine in Gaza than the entire UK government.

the VAT cut adds €20,000 to this profit margin, for every apartment from today

Developer risk/margin on table of total development costs

the Minister’s own department published this earlier this year

Profit: €48,605 per unit on urban apartments

This is actually sbocking.

Minister for Housing on @rteradio1.bsky.social

“if there was even a small profit people should be building apartments”

“it’s not a measure to make apartments affordable”

Property lobbying narratives are being adopted as housing policy with no transparency, no evidence & no independent analysis

Have physio this morn, hope she can work her magic on my knee.

Spoke with TD Barry Heneghan on the #EchoChamberPod who was onboard the Thousand Madleens to Gaza Flotilla yesterday just as they were entering the “red zone.” A few hours later he was abducted by Israeli forces in international waters alongside the rest of his humanitarian crew.

“Will the world care only after we’re gone? ” ‼️

I'm Palestinian. Not a number. Not a headline.

Just a human… starving, broken, forgotten. 💔

No one shares my pain. No one sees us.

Please, share this ,leave a dot (.) if you see me

Ya but whats the point in opposition if they are literally powerless. I dunno I just feel let down from every side.

Ya I think I just feel complete alienation now, not sure what the point of opposition is if they have 0 power only to be able to condemn after the fact.
