Mental health waiting lists are a scandal. It's shocking the length of time some people have to wait for a first appointment. Another job for government- cut those waiting lists!

Pleased to see the jury make this decision. We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries. People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In a released recording, convicted sex offender and former Israeli leader discuss 'gigantic' sums paid to former UK PM.

The government surely realises how important it is that we have 24/7 mental health emergency support available in our communities. 24/7 crisis intervention in the community can prevent hospitalisation & relieve distress by supporting people in their own environments. Expand this essential service.

Barriers to accessing abortion since 2019 include the mandatory 3-day wait. This has resulted in women/pregnant people being denied timely reproductive health care, forcing some to travel abroad for care. We all deserve to be able to access safe abortion care at home.

INCORRECT INFO: Limerick HAVE NOT YET passed the motion (previous incorrect info from AI) 'The matter was ultimately deferred to allow for further consideration.' However-10 councils have passed such a motion. Galway City Council & Limerick must follow suit, and the government must listen.

Last week Israeli Communications Minister banned broadcasting/internet companies + YouTube from providing services to Qatar-based Al Jazeera and Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen inside Israel. This blocks Al Jazeera & Al-Mayadeen televisions across digital platforms, TV screens, YouTube.

Great news: Limerick City and County Council passed a motion last week in favour of keeping the Triple Lock in order to defend Irish neutrality. At least 10 councils have now passed such a motion. The government must listen. www.independent.ie/regionals/li...

The Joint Oireachtas Health Committee approved findings of O’Shea's review of Abortion, including removing mandatory 3 day wait. The Committee was anxious for all recommendations of the review to be ‘implemented without delay’. Why won't the government pass the necessary legislation?!

They've been 23 years trampling Irish Neutrality since Bertie Ahern begged George Bush and his satanic neocon warmongering administration to use Shannon rather than Prestwick which the USAF preferred, to facilitate illegal aggressive wars and CIA torture schemes. Of course they hate the TL also.

'Societies must choose between becoming surrender societies or becoming new, resistant and confrontational societies.'

Today, Israeli airstrikes killed 27 Palestinians in Gaza. The genocide never ended — and we will never stop campaigning until there is a free and independent Palestine.

As people march again in London today against genocide in Gaza, a reminder to the Metropolitan Police: these streets are OURS, not yours. It's time to end the Met's zero accountability for its crackdown on protests in our city. That won’t change unless we take action netpol.org/end-zero-acc...

If all these oligarchs named in the Epstein Files are totally innocent, surely they’d be in favor of an independent investigation into Epstein’s crimes. Right?

Some of our AAC members have been involved in helping women access abortion for over 40 years. We shouldn't have to be doing the same today. Free, safe, local, legal, accessible abortion for all who need it---everywhere!

Free Ahmad Sa’adat & all Palestinian Prisoners! Ahmad held in prison since 2002 suffering serious ongoing violations. Israel uses solitary confinement and denial of medical care as part of a policy of vengeance against Palestinian leaders/detainees. english.palinfo.com/news/2025/09...

I welcome multi-faith initiatives in favour of Palestine, even though I am not a religious person myself. In fact, I want churches, temples, mosques... to play a bigger role in speaking out against Israel's actions, and to join the BDS movement. Free Palestine.

Big Tech is undeniably complicit in weaponizing AI and actively participating in Israeli war efforts and human rights violations, while Palestinian and other human rights defenders are being targeted. Who will hold big tech accountable?
