The recent recording released of the horrific practices at the NGS needs to help shared far and wide. This is not out of the ordinary and has been expressed for years that this abuse has been happening routinely. I've personally had to intervene with people left suicidal after their 'assesments'

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

"The NUJ Disabled Members’ Council calls on journalists to challenge harmful portrayals about disabled people and shift the narrative from blame to one centred on rights, access and inclusion." The NUJ statement on the #InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople www.nuj.org.uk/resource/nuj...

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.” What does this do for women's rights?

Where are the 42,000 students who can afford to pay €1,000++/month for purpose built rooms?

WEEK TWO: THE ROYAL CANAL with Aideen Farrell Wed 26th Nov | 7:00pm - 8:30pm The Royal Canal runs a (fairly) straight route from the River Liffey to the River Shannon. Aideen’s fascination with it and where it has led her does not. a4sounds.org/anteaters/

Encouraging the policing of public spaces based on appearance and gender stereotypes is no way for a human rights regulator to behave. The EHRC’s proposed Code of Practice is a misogynist’s charter, and the government must reject it. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Israel quietly pushed its “yellow zone” 300 meters deeper into Gaza, trapping families under fire and shattering the ceasefire again, while mediators stay silent. qudsnen.co/israel-expan...

In Dublin, between the canals, there is very little public green space for football (or other field sports). I can't think of any on the Northside, south of the North Circular Road. There are private pitches in Blackhall Place and Grangegorman but nowhere for children to play or practice publicly.

The EU Court has found that we have failed to even bring in the laws we’d need to comply with our obligations to combat water pollution.

Was the Department of Justice using experimental chatbots to give immigration advice? It has now retired its asylum chatbot Erin, but has infused Tara, the non-asylum immigration chatbot with AI. Read more here www.dublininquirer.com/was-the-depa...

I forgot aneaters exist I forgot anteaters exist is a series of info-dump sessions allowing us to learn about the world through the special interests of others. Each session invites someone new to come and share their knowledge on a topic of their choosing.

🦇🦇TONIGHT! 🦇🦇

doing this next week 😎🦇

I am looking for an illustrator in the Galway/Mayo area that would like to work with me on a collection of children's books. All recommendations greatly appreciated. I *really* would prefer no AI, and would prefer hand drawn, over copypasta computer images(!)

Israelis. Still scared of children after murdering tens of thousands of them.

Long Covid is one of the world’s biggest challenges and the government are asleep at the wheel. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/09/h...

The idea that Ireland has ever "gold plated" the transposition of EU Environmental law, is causing a lot of people in my world to chortle manically.

‘Gold-plated‘ my hole. The way we build houses has barely changed in my lifetime. The idea that houses in Ireland are constructed to lofty environmental standards, or that developers are held back by them, is a joke. www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

'COVID-19 surveillance is happening but at a much lower level than before. We don’t have a complete picture of virus circulation of variants that are out there. There’s a collective amnesia right now about COVID-19', says @mvankerkhove.bsky.social who.int www.scientificamerican.com/article/covi...

Asylum seekers did not cause the housing crisis. This man is fuelling hatred in a cynical attempt to deflect from his own party's catastrophic policy failures. The next time some racist tries to murder children in their beds, like in Drogheda a few days ago, let's remember who put them up to it.

Tom Hanks explains to Stephen Colbert why he masks on the subway: "I'm doing a play right now so I cannot get sick... I've had COVID enough in my life, I don't need to do that again. So I'm wearing this for health reasons." Thank you Tom! Masks are still a key part of public health.

So those most likely to be held at fault for the perception of a dangerous city center are actually most likely to be victims of what crime there is...

My reporting has touched a nerve with Sussex ICB. They contacted North West Bylines to remove my article untill they give a right to reply. They already gave a statement, which is included in the article. I think they're rattled. TBC......... www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/04/p...

“You’ve been repeating several times that Russia should pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe that Israel should pay for the reconstruction of Gaza since they have destroyed almost all its civilian infrastructure?”

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords. This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

Latest ONS data show 145 deaths involving COVID-19 in w/ending 24 Oct 2025. Significant increase since August when weekly deaths were 47. Need to stop treating COVID-19 as closed chapter. The virus hasn’t gone away neither has the responsibility to protect the vulnerable, and improve vaccine access.

Seen-Unseen is an art project led by artist Clare McLaughlin for and with people who are visually impaired. On Friday 7 November at 2.30pm, we are delighted to collaborate with Clare to host an online meet-up to explore artwork in our collection by artist Harry Clarke. (1/3)

“There is a question that hovers over Irish politics: what will the parties of power do when they start to panic about losing it? Last week, after their joint debacle in the presidential election, we got the grim answer: turn on immigrants.” - @fotoole.bsky.social

Just as a quick example of how stupid it is to be claiming we have no discussion on immigration, here are a few headlines from a single writer for the Indo. If debate was being shut down, how do all these articles exist, and this is just one writer!

For this month’s Members Gallery Visit, we took a day trip down to EVA International. It was a lovely day, and we managed to get around the majority of the artwork on show - worth a visit!

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame. tinyurl.se/crR
