Relatedly, I struggle to grasp repeated characterisation of the Drogheda attack as an 'alleged arson'.
Is there something about the ubiquitous footage wherein the arson's intent appears ambiguous to pol. corr.s
Surely the event itself is verifiable

Great to see IPSC are going ahead with this demo!
It's important to mark our victories, clarify why we fought, and celebrate together.
This morale boost is essential; we can use the energy to push the OTB over the line.

We will still be at the Central Bank tomorrow, to mark this big moment for our campaign and to reiterate the demand for an end to all Irish state complicity in Israel’s apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. No genocide bonds here or anywhere. #StopFundingGenocide

Ireland is so dependent on US capital, in particular big tech. From the 'necessity' of data centres to Ireland's energy transition to the economic reliance of local councils on DC commercial rates. This is not natural or inevitable and it needs to change.
