Appalled at the shocking behaviour of Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir towards illegally detained members of the Sumud Flotilla. The Israeli government’s actions are in breach of international law and I intend to raise this issue at EU level.

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.

Famine has not “struck” Gaza. It is not the result of some natural disaster. It has been engineered. Famine has been inflicted upon the people of Gaza by Israel, who have been facilitated by their enabler allies.
