Stop normalising sexual violence as entertainment. NWC condemns the appalling inclusion of a float depicting the crimes of Epstein in a St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Co. Mayo. The float was offensive and deeply insensitive to victim survivors of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. #EndVAW

Ireland's sole clinic for treating women and some girls with horrific Female Genital Mutilation injuries has seen a 300% surge in demand for services. Its director tells @trishdevlin.bsky.social the current service is 'neither fair, nor sustainable'. READ: www.thejournal.ie/female-genit...

Racism in Ireland. Unfortunately, gardai only began recording hate crimes and incidents, with categories such as “anti-race”, three years ago. But from the data we do have, we can see reports of racist attacks and abuse has been growing. Link to article in next 🧵

'Racism has got more aggressive, more obvious and more brazen' in Ireland, with anti-race the single most discriminatory motive in hate crimes here. Read our latest investigation: http://www.thejournal.ie/racist-attacks-ireland-6817334-Sep2025/

Around one in three hate incidents reported to gardaí are racially motivated, analysis by @trishdevlin.bsky.social has found. http://www.thejournal.ie/racist-attacks-ireland-6817334-Sep2025/

Part 2 of our series looking at threats to our native seals. This one beggars belief, especially after the outrage in 2022 when a seal pup was killed after being picked up by a tourist for a selfie 😔 ⬇️

The number of dead seals washing up along Irish coasts more than doubled between 2020 and 2023, an investigation by @trishdevlin.bsky.social has found. http://www.thejournal.ie/dead-seals-ireland-6786495-Aug2025/

The Daily Mail now coming for the hipsters for making places look nice.

One female paramedic told The Journal Investigates she was "dry humped” by two different male colleagues, incidents brushed off as jokes. http://www.thejournal.ie/national-ambulance-service-female-paramedics-6748778-Jul2025/

Awful behaviour, well done the female paramedics for talking about it and you for reporting. Sexual harassment is disturbing anywhere but somehow an emergency service is a workplace where to you might think there’s less of it. Wrongly.

Every single workplace. How many of these abusers are responding to sexual violence call outs? Well done @trishdevlin.bsky.social for documenting this. "Separately, a hidden camera was found in one of the women’s bathrooms. An incident, she claimed, “was all kept quiet”.

Next month we’ll once again remember these 3 little boys whose lives were cruelly cut short in 1998. Burned in their beds because of hate and bigotry. That same hate and bigotry is on the streets of Northern Ireland tonight, no matter how it’s dressed up. Stay safe everyone ❤️

The most powerful interview Stella has done yet. It’ll be 14 weeks tomorrow since our little Caitlin Rose passed away and almost every day since, her mummy has pushed and fought for new laws to make school buses safer for all children ❤️ Listen here: rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

The puppy farm capital of Europe – how did Ireland earn this shameful accolade? A bill to ban fox hunting – what's in it and who’s for it? And retired and abandoned horses – is enough being done. Guests: Padraig O’Sullivan, Ruth Coppinger, Ciara Malone, @trishdevlin.bsky.social

Thank you to @patrick-corrigan.bsky.social and Kathryn Torney for the tremendous care and work put in to highlighting threats to journalists in Northern Ireland. Sorry I couldn’t be there today. Solidarity

I've always been puzzled as to why there is so little public outrage over the mass-slaughter of badgers in Ireland - a gentle animal that pays a heavy price for the failings of the livestock industry www.thejournal.ie/badger-culli...

So after quite a few weeks investigating Ireland’s culling of badgers to control TB, I found data that shows that a staggering 80% of the protected species killed by the Department of Agriculture were TB free. jrnl.ie/6709659

More than 80% of badgers culled by the Department of Agriculture as part of its TB Eradication Strategy were found to be free of the disease, an investigation by @trishdevlin.bsky.social reveals. http://www.thejournal.ie/badger-culling-ireland-6709659-May2025/

Such an important investigative series published yesterday and today on @investigates.thejournal.ie written by our @conorocarroll.bsky.social on trans healthcare in Ireland. Traumatic and unacceptable.

A deacon convinced nuns from a convent outside Waco to meet the women on Texas’s death row. They went “thinking we were going to minister to these women,” the sisters said, after their first visit. “And oh, my goodness, they ministered to us.”
