So grateful to @sonjatiernan.bsky.social & editors of #Saothar50 for opportunity to write on Irish housewives. By mad coincidence my ma was interviewed about her everyday experiences in 1968 & that features in my new article. #familyhistory #femaleactivism dublinfestivalofhistory.ie/event/specia...

As a proud member of the Irish diaspora, #catherineconnolly is the voice I want to hear resonating out from our island nation to the world 💚☘️

Pressure is growing on football’s governing bodies to take action against Israel’s national team over the war on Gaza.

Maybe see a lot of you there, actually -

I believe that #CatherineConnolly will serve in the tradition of Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese and Michael D Higgins. This is the voice we need in these times.

“I’m so happy” 🇮🇹 Italian drivers stuck in standstill traffic because of the massive nationwide pro-Palestine protests are… completely fine with it

How do the 'second-gen' make sense of who they are? How do discourses of 'Irishness' influence how they talk about belonging. The stories I have heard so far have been incredible, full of humour, candid vulnerability, and agency. I am really excited about where this research project is going.

Thrilled to have represented The British University in Egypt in delivering my illustrated keynote lecture today by pre-recorded video at the International Symposium of the 5th Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art, China. 🇨🇳 The wonders of technology in enabling global dialogue!

The Palestinian flag was raised in London after the UK’s official recognition of the State of Palestine. A promise to our people, and to the world: Palestine will live. Palestine will rise. Palestine will be free. 📍 22 Sept 2025 | Palestinian Mission, London. Link to the full event lnkd.in/e2-9ZAeJ

GAZA: "baby saved from pregnant woman who had been decapitated". How can the State of Palestine be "recognised" but this allowed to go on? Worse, how can arms + components still be supplied to Israel, the perpetrator? @ukparliament.parliament.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Recognise" this, world? 🇵🇸https://bbc.com/news/articles/cgknzk46kz6o

I can’t imagine the stresses on these students escaping from hell, but leaving their loved ones behind. Other EU countries should be doing similar projects to help Gazans study abroad. Their entire university system has been destroyed by Israel in Gaza.

Israeli forces kill at least 43 people across Gaza since dawn as death toll from man-made famine rises to 441.

People run for lives from air strikes and explosive-laden ‘robots’, as lifelines collapse in Gaza’s biggest urban centre.

🔥 Powerful message to our government from Rebecca Heslin, chair of the Dublin Branch of IPSC and from Irish Psychologists for Palestine at our demonstration at the Dáil today. "Stop telling us how you feel about genocide and tell us what you're going to do." #SanctionsNow #FreePalestine

Disgraceful and horrific. And the world does nothing. Unforgivable inaction @ukparliament.parliament.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social 💔🇵🇸

Israel is pushing towards the centre of Gaza City from two directions, 'sandwiching' Palestinians and forcibly displacing them toward the coast in a bid to drive them out of the besieged enclave’s largest urban centre aje.io/e8bfqz

Proud to have attended the excellent closed session of the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, Ms. Reem Alsalem, at The British University in Egypt. It was a privilege to be in this room and hear esteemed and expert voices on this vital subject. lnkd.in/eM3GEzae
