Ireland is voting today! But if you think that we will know the composition of our parliament this night, that’s not the case. Our electoral system is fascinating but a bit complex. @gavreilly.com explains how it works. Enjoy! (works best with M&Ms 😉) #GE24
Worth another share, for the week that's in it…

Today marks 1.000th day since #Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine - 1.000 days of crimes & sufferings.

There should be no impunity for indiscriminate attacks on civilians, executions, torture, forcible transfers that we & many others have documented since Feb 2022.
