Pope Leo in remarks to journalists tonight: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life.” www.reuters.com/world/pope-l...

Two out of three candidates for the presidency can’t speak fluent Irish. That matters Only Catherine Connolly is fluent in Irish - yet another reason in a long list of reasons to #votecatherine #connollyforPresident #aras25 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Chilling. Catherine Connolly's launch is sending shivers down the right spines. Vote for Catherine Connolly, the only candidate who is pro-neutrality, anti-genocide, and pro-workers' rights.

Súileanna eile.

Our government is failing on housing. The next date is to pit people ordinary against eachother: " Workers should get priority for social housing - Minister share.google/nIYyWVPw5kBD... " #divide&conquer

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Welcoming the man who signed artillery shells being fired into a populated enclave. Botching an attempt at prosecuting a man calling out genocide. Britain's sense of fair play needs a serious refurb. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Excellent letter in the Irish Times this morning! What we eat matters!

Another great night at @subtsounds.bsky.social #Waterford #Independentmusic

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Great piece by @cianginty.bsky.social from @irishcycle.com in todsy's Guardian. You can see kids (and growp-ups) are loving their bikes even more these days thanks to #BenHealy #TourDeFrance www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#Entitlement as a headline:

Draft: Here’s the report Children’s Health won’t publish Children’s Health Ireland respects legal advice. The Ditch respects the public interest. Will publish shortly.

Today, the UK government intends to ban the non-violent protesters Palestine Action as a "terrorist" group, exposing anyone supporting them to terrorism charges. In 2 days, 380,000 people have watched this video on YT alone. You're going to need a bigger prison. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkV...

Kneecap at Glastonbury don't RT they are supposed to be terrorists or something.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

One day, when it's safe, everyone will have always been against this.

Understandily, the campaigners for an upgrade to the A5 are upset and disappointed. I wonder how many fixed speed cameras there currently on that route? #A5 #RoadSafety

Met with Dave Tobin, #Limerick cycling activist & Vice Chair of Irish Cycling Campaign for a chat. Discussed uniting trade unionists to boost active travel & public transport. His strategic vision & focus on the social impact of transport policy on workers is inspiring.

In Ireland, the current populist Government has made #OrganDonation obligatory. I have opted out. I considen it legalised coersion.

This is well beyond complicity now.

Religious fundamentalism is dangerous:

I love this Native woman’s spunk! However this should NEVER have happened.

Fake #IrishPride is surging, harmful, and unwelcome. #love will prevail. #Mílefáilte

Yesterday, I sat on a rock watching (through a monocular) a family of willow warblers in trees that, 5 or 6 years ago, didn't even exist. That planted themselves. And I was filled with deep joy. #Rewilding 🌏

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

The death of yet another breeding white-tailed eagle from suspected poisoning is just heart rending. But despite continued losses, this remains the most successful reintroduction project ever undertaken so far, and one of the best things ever done for nature, in Ireland. www.rte.ie/news/munster...

@translinknisupport.bsky.social Taking thhe #Train from #Belfast is needlessly complex & stressful via the @Translinkni.bsky.social website, where it is not clear how to reserve seats. & Staff at the station don't know how to check for reservations.

@irishrail.bsky.social I'm delighted to have been able to book a ticket from #Waterford to #Newry through Dublin, DART fee was included. This moves our transport system forward with customer-friendly integrated measures. Can you make that obvious on the booked- & printed tickets, please?
