7 Local Councils have passed a motion calling on the Govnt to retain the Triple Lock. The motion was due to come before Galway Council today but it was deemed 'irrelevant' to the needs of city and county. Protest today against this latest effort to block democratic debate.

Northern Ireland is caught in a brutal cycle - poverty and division grow while elites and their political allies manipulate sectarian games to protect obscene wealth and unaccountable power. As they enrich themselves, local communities are left behind with broken promises and few opportunities.

US-backed Israel has killed more UN workers in Gaza than in any other conflict worldwide. They have now ended the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon. US-Israel are intent on destroying the UN - the only organisation we have for international cooperation. www.rte.ie/news/2025/08...

The Israeli military is carrying out MASSIVE surveillance of Palestinians and leaked files suggest a large proportion of sensitive data is being stored in Ireland. => Ireland’s neutrality is compromised & war crimes?! So this talk—zoom link below—is timely. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Reading this couldn't help but think of Lough Neagh. Also destroyed by industrial-chemical agriculture and pollution, but the prospects of any kind of restoration are limited by the inability of the NI state to formulate and implement an alternative. thetricontinental.org/wenhua-zongh...

Ireland's dependence on US FDI increasingly undermines the basic democratic functions of the Irish state and our ability to pursue a sovereign foreign policy. www.ontheditch.com/israeli-offi...

(4/n) when I got to a sheltered spot I heard buzzing so loud I thought it was a swarm of bees. Nope. Clouds of Midges and mosquitoes like I’ve never seen before! No wonder there’s so many Sand Martins and Swallows around - they’re feasting (and the midges are feasting on me, so I’m out of here).

Irish media doesn't tell us about EU neo-colonial wars in places like Mali and the Sahel. If the Triple Lock is removed, Irish troops will almost certainly join more of these EU 'peacekeeping' missions. Great piece by Fionn Wallace in Rundale. www.rundale.org/2025/07/31/t...

Richard Wright yet again attacking the (vague & undefined) ‘green approach’ to farming and land use in today’s Farming Life, coming across as both patronising (something he accuses the said ‘green approach) and defensive…. & loosely connected to ‘commonsense’ . La lutte continue

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.” “I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.” — Francesca Albanese
