Lemass wasn’t the absolute worst (as FF Taoisigh go) but he did introduce the 1935 Conditions of Employment Act which restricted women’s access to the workplace. His biographer says he was sexist & regarded women’s employment as ‘contrary to the Irish way of life’, so that’s a no from me. #speirgorm

Despite one of their own commissions finding Israel guilty of genocide literally 2 months ago, the UN takes the keys of Gaza from Netanyahu to hand to Trump. After all the cruelty visited on Palestinians in the last 2 (read: 80) years they still let the oppressors decide the fate of the oppressed
The United Nations Security Council has voted in favour of a resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan

It is interesting that he chose to harrass Connolly, who has never been in government, rather than Humphries, who was a cabinet minister when the Gender Recognition Act was passed.
It's almost like it's not really about what he says it's about, isn't it?

Great letter in today's Irish Times. We have watched politicians and media enable apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians for almost two years. #GazaGenocide

Every day, Israel deliberately massacres unarmed civilians it has deliberately starved.
How is this possible?
Because instead of framing Israel’s atrocities as obscene outrages demanding urgent action, the Western media has normalised Israel’s atrocities.

Today, I visited the 🇱🇧 border with 🇵🇸
So close I could almost touch it, feel its pain, see its splendour, and anticipate its luminous future. Because I know in my heart I will be there soon enough. I will cross the border & meet my brothers & sisters in a free Palestine. Inshallah 🇵🇸✨️🇮🇪
