Andy Burnham works for oil, coal and gas! #Heatwave #ClimateChange #WeWontDieQuietly.

How I spent my Monday - the @antaisce.bsky.social climate committee put climate back on the EU presidency agenda. You can't have 'competitiveness' 'security' and 'values' without a climate-just approach from top down. #spéirghorm

Fianna Fáil’s Norma Foley opened the new office of a business illegally renting out properties in her constituency for more than €300 a night. "I support any business which showcases the beauty and attractiveness of Kerry," said Foley. www.ontheditch.com/norma-foley-...

Written on a wall adjacent to the racist comments was the name of rape victim Gisèle Pelicot, followed by a derogatory French word targeting women. It added “free Dominique”, a reference to Ms Pelicot’s ex-husband who was at the centre of one of the largest rape trials in western Europe.’ [6/6]

Young people in Ireland are increasingly being diagnosed with spinal cord damage from recreational use of nitrous oxide. But the government has no plans to introduce legislation banning the substance and will instead wait for EU rules due next year. jrnl.ie/7084853

I've been called up twice. The first time, I was selected for a jury and then the defence took all the women off the jury. So i was free. But left wondering about the gender balance of jury trials. Apparently, it's very comeback to remove all the women! 2nd time, I got on a jury and stayed on. 1/2

@cyclingwithoutage.bsky.social does this in #Ireland.

Gaza's interior ministry denounces 'horrific massacre' that killed station chief, other police personnel and a civilian https://aje.news/ylyxvy

This says it all really. Yes, the current use of e-scooters by some people is bad, and they are already illegal. Just enforce current laws… Do we ban all cars because some (well, lots) of people break laws while using them? (If only!)

ICE has issued a nationwide order directing all officers to stop pursuing people in vehicles. The policy change comes after ICE murdered two men in separate incidents less than a week apart in Maine and Texas.

Nine of ten bestselling novels in UK have one thing in common: a woman is murdered

Then. Now. Forever. We stand with those who help make Britain great.

What’s really noticeable is the traffic calming, ramps, reduced speed limits, which are everywhere. Even on busy 80kph roads, when you reach a village, you simply have to slow down. And majority of drivers obey speed limits. If the Irish Gov were serious about #RoadSafety, this is the answer.

Bigly News Breaking: Trump administration forced to refund $81b in tariffs after Supreme Court ruled them illegal. That helped push the June federal budget deficit to a jaw dropping super-sized $120 billion!!

A healthcare assistant who undressed a vulnerable teenage girl while she recovered from a tablet overdose at a hospital has been convicted of sexual assault. The man was working at Regional Hospital Mullingar in 2024, where the girl, then 17, was admitted. jrnl.ie/7101846

The Green Party supports today’s motion which would provide legal protection for artists against the scraping of their work without permission, credit, or pay by AI companies.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin tells the Dáil he is "profoundly sorry" that two TDs from his party - Billy Kenneally snr, and Brendan Kenneally, failed to act to stop the sexual abuse perpetrated by Billy's nephew Bill Kenneally. Some of his abuse victims are in the distinguished visitors' gallery today.

An Irishman was found guilty of the murder of an American woman by a court in Budapest last Wednesday, but Hungarian media has still not named him. The Journal asked legal experts in Hungary why. jrnl.ie/7100129

New York State is about to ban Data Center construction. The rest of the world need to follow suit.

Micheál thinks he's being subtle by shouting at all women he interacts with. But we can see your venom and vitriol my guy

Just announced: I'm doing an event at the University of Galway 🇮🇪 on July 27, at 6pm, to mark the publication of 'This is Also a Love Story'. It's free & open to anyone. Thanks so much to them for inviting me. www.eventbrite.com/e/literature...

Really enjoyed listening to this very down to earth scientist discussing working in the climate sector. The previous episode with @hannahdaly.ie was also a very good listen. open.spotify.com/episode/66Wo...

When people give out about protecting the fresh water pearl mussel and it blocking development-I always think, what you're being asked to protect is clean water for you to swim or fish in, and your drinking water. Clean water sighing be the most basic thing we demand of our government.

"Why should we tolerate having to live on an island where we end up drinking, washing and swimming in water laced with our own excrement?"

There’s something really dystopic about dealing with the “cost of living crisis” by touring working class people on the grounds and buildings of the aristocracy that stole from them for centuries but maybe that’s just me.

It's not just you, no

I have been expressing desire for an app that alerts me to the presence of pervert glasses in my vicinity. It exists and it's called Nearby Glasses! Immediate download.

The government expected half a million people to apply, but nearly double that number came forward.

Big win for people & climate in 🇹🇷, where a court has stopped the expansion of the Afşin-Elbistan coal plant. 💪 97% of proposed coal projects have been cancelled since 2015. But Türkiye is still a #COP31 host planning one more unit, so the work is far from over. www.euronews.com/2026/07/14/v...

Yeah, this Jewish woman makes the Zionist conditioning sound pretty harrowing.

Reporting on Israel the last few years, low-key one of the harder aspects is how much Zionist nonsense you need to let inside. Moronic, racist, unhinged unreality. Supremacist bloodlust dressed in a victim complex. Even their ideas are traumatising. It's pure soul poison.

capitalism serves capitalism (whether it’s pyrex or privatization!)

You really have to take a moment and think about how insane this is. That’s a quarter of the entire output of the country’s public infrastructure going to support about one hundred sites.

There is no bottom line apparently

The "just protecting women" crowd

I recently read or heard someone say something like "if AI was so good, they wouldn't be shoving it down our throats at every turn to justify the effort going into it." Credit goes to the source I have now forgotten.

Brendan has been doing phenomenal work uncovering the French Nazis that visited Belfast and hung out with paramilitaries and local far-right. The Home Secretary proscribes the IRGC - but doesn’t even call a COBRA meeting for what’s been happening in N. Ireland over the last 5 weeks. So more ..[1/2]

20 French far-right visited Belfast at the weekend. They left this graffiti and other graffiti about Gisèle Pelicot being a. ‘Salope’ and ‘Free Dominique’. They’re here for proscribed terror, and the British Government isn’t acting because they might have to act on loyalist paramilitaries too. [2/2]

It's about "protecting" in-group women from out-group men. In-group men going after in-group women is part of the natural order. (Like how the same dudes who love to post lynching fantasies give Andrew Tate a pass on assaulting white women - he's "one of them.")

The French Nazis that Loyalists brought over to Sandy Row last night have spray painted a message of support for Gisèle Pelicot's rapist husband just in case you thought the "protect our women" brigade are anything other than human tumours

JK Rowling offers to fund lawsuits against Amnesty is a headline that will cut through.

Given how Labour have misread their base for the last two years, this anointing feels like a ticking time bomb of unintended consequences.. Swapping out Tweedledum for Tweedledee isn't going to be the game changer they think it is.

"Our culture - no, not like that. No, not *that* part of our culture either."
