Ireland is Israel's second biggest trading partner - we need to look at why
Ireland's dependency on the US is embedded in the State's DNA, and now makes us complicit in Israel's war crimes

David, our Departmental Assistant in Psychology @micireland.bsky.social is hoping to speak to young adults (18-25) in the Limerick area with at least one migrant parent for his postgrad research on second-generation identity and belonging.

Hi everyone, I'm currently researching how second-generation migrant young adults - those born in Ireland to at least one migrant parent - experience identity and belonging.
I'm especially interested in what 'home' means to them and how they negotiate Irish and local identity.

Who does this government serve? Protest crackdowns and neutrality debates spark outrage
A speaking rights row, moves away from neutrality, and garda action against anti-war protesters are all signs of a worrying trend for democracy
