No swings, no playgrounds...
They turn stones into toys, & tents into fields of joy.
As if to say:
We are not children of war... we are children of hope - & life is stronger than destruction."

Israel breaching international law by limiting Gaza aid, says Unrwa official
Natalie Boucly says supplies are ready but only about half of what is needed is getting into territory
Israel is breaching international law by continuing to impose restrictions on aid flows into Gaza, where the population remains critically short of food and life-saving goods as winter sets in, a senior official at the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said.
In an interview during a recent visit to Brussels, Natalie Boucly, an Unrwa deputy commissioner general, said the whole world – including the EU and US – needed to increase the pressure on Israel’s government to ensure the unrestricted flow of aid into Gaza. Continue reading...

Yes, a stupid attempt to strong arm a supportive member state would be a brilliant way to build solidarity in the face of multiple common challenges.
My advice to EU ministers, Commissioners and officials planning on attending #EU Presidency meetings in Ireland between July and December 2026 is..
Unless #Ireland guarantees adequate NATO-standard air #defence cover against Russian drone threats..
DON'T!

Former Attorney General Senator Michael McDowell can raise whatever "constitutional questions" he likes, but it makes no difference: EU Presidency events require protection against Russian drone threats (or worse) and the Irish Defence Forces are incapable of providing that. #spéirghorm #spéirgorm

Only green space in city centre is no longer a green space
Seriously how did this cost €7million?
Its depressing & says Cork says f*ck biodiversity & climate
Ironically the one redeeming feature is that the railings & gates are gone to make it thoroughfare
