MicheĂĄl Martin said yesterday sanctioning Aughinish would hurt Europe more then it hurts Russia. However new figures obtained by The Irish Times show that this year 83% (200,619 tonnes) of alumina exports went to Russia. The amount exported to EU countries was 149 tonnes (0.6%)

A ban on goods from the occupied territories is not enough - this should have been enacted prior to 2023. Rip it up and start over. Sanctions at national + EU level are needed. No trade should even be taking place esp now they've moved on to Lebanon and Iraq. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills !!!

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

The woman in this video is Caitriona Graham, an Irish citizen. This is how our citizens are being treated by Israel, having been abducted in international waters, trafficked to a third state and now experiencing humiliation, stress positions, aggression and violence.

They've done weekend meetings to sort all of this out. They've never done anything of the like to help the children they have made homeless. The only time they've shown any determination throughout the housing crisis was in making sure the evictions ban disappeared. This is unsustainable.

Please remember that these protests, whether you agree with them or not, are a direct result of European governments, including our own, refusing to stop Israel on it genocidal path. Don't let them hide that fact.

One defense is to ask the caller where their workplace/HQ is, and if they don't know/claim to be WFH, hang up! You shld also ask for an external number to call them back, then Google it to be sure.
