Heraty kidnapping comes amid crisis and violence in Haiti The kidnapping of Irish woman Gena Heraty along with seven others from an orphanage in Haiti last weekend comes against the backdrop of a rise in violence, kidnappings and exploitation in a country fa...

Gena Heraty is an extraordinary, inspirational woman. I think of her and the others kidnapped and hope for safety. She gives hope in a world that needs it. #Haiti #Gena www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

And they obviously can’t see the contradiction that “free parking” costs $4m.

FAI admit defeat on 'summer soccer' plan An email from President Paul Cooke to the 145-strong General Assembly on Friday afternoon confirmed the climbdown.

Great. So we stay with the calendar that leads to underage teams going several weeks without games in winter and spring due to weather. This is a bad decision for Irish football. #FAI #IrishFootball www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer...

With a week to go.

Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of?

It’s hard to know who to believe. The liar appointed by a liar as ambassador to a country led by a liar. Or a surgeon who has seen what is happening in #Gaza Doctor accuses IDF of 'playing a game' in Gaza shootings www.rte.ie/news/2025/07...

I suppose Dean Cain reckons he has unique insight from playing America’s most famous illegal alien.

Yes, #Trump is winning at harming the US economy and consumer #Tariffs www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Is this what he'll also tell #Putin about #Ukraine when he meets him?

But I thought we had certainty, predictability, and clarity? #EUUSTradeDeal Who could have foreseen #Trump would go again…

Here’s why we need floating bus stops 🚏
Regular bus stops are more complex than cyclists simply waiting for the bus to leave
When cyclists are in the cycle lane, bus drivers either need to wait, or dangerously swerve into cyclists (where should they go?)
Floating bus stops solve this issue

Former EU ambassadors warn: Europe’s silence on Gaza is complicity In an open letter, 58 former EU envoys urge the bloc to end arms exports, sanction Israel, and stop atrocity crimes.

Fifty-eight members of the EU diplomatic corps, now in retirement, can stay silent no longer. Unlike their former employer.

Can they also make bread from the flour they get from the windmills?

Motherfucking wind farms…

SDLP disappointed 'strings' to UK recognising Palestine The UK's decision to recognise the state of Palestine if Israel does not meet specific conditions is "disappointing" as it is diluted by the strings around it, according to SDLP leader and MP for Belf...

#Starmer statement on conditionally recognising Palestine in September shows they are not doing this because they think Palestinians have a right to self-determination - rather they want to ease pressure on themselves. Better to stop selling arms to Israel to enable war crimes. #Gaza #Hypocrite

UK to recognise Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees ceasefire and two-state solution, Starmer says – as it happened UK also demands Hamas release all hostages, disarm, sign up to a ceasefire and accept that they will play no role in the government of Gaza

So this is confusing. UK will recognise Palestinian state unless there is a two-state solution? Does that mean if there was a two-state solution they'd only recognise one of them? #Gaza #Starmer #Israel www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

“Trade deal will bring stability”. Micheál Martin says it will bring clarity and predictability. It won’t. Because there can’t be stability, clarity, or predictability while #Trump is in the White House. Disorder and chaos is his MO. #EUUSTradeDeal #Tariffs #TradeDeal www.rte.ie/news/world/2...
