It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.
Trump, with Netanyahu sitting next to him, says "Gaza maybe is a demolition site right now ... you can't live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location."

Brilliant article today in @IrishTimes by @Fintan O’Toole. Nails it! This isn’t just a Green Party issue. Even though they were blamed.
We’re heading for the second biggest fiscal disaster in the history of the State

#StormDarragh certainly packed a punch. Worst I’ve ever experienced, based inland in #Clare.
The noise of it!
Power gone since 23.15 It’s going to take a while to restore, judging by this map. Estimating 17.00.
Grateful to all the @esbnetworks.bsky.social crew who’ll be out as soon as it’s safe .

The impacts are still very high with a huge number of power outages and damage done. Only station over 130kmh was Mace Head with 141kmh.
The winds will only ease very very slowly through the morning so please take care and don’t try to move trees etc until safe to do so.

#StormDaragh now elevated to RED weather alert in Western counties. Serious weather event. Advice is to take measures to protect yourself and your property. No travel except for emergencies. Power outages likely.

Lots of talk once again about a rotating Taoiseach. Here’s a brief demonstration of what it would look like.

Thanks to the #Fiji rugby team for the respect they showed our President, Michael D. Higgins today before #IrlvFiji game. You did your country proud both before the game and during it.
Something lovely about the respect shown by the Fiji players towards President Michael D. Higgins.
