It’s official, Christmas has started!
A magnificent night at the annual Maynooth Carol Service last night, bringing three amazing nights of performance to a close. A signal for many that Christmas is here.

Trócaire's @siobhancurran.bsky.social explains why we need a fossil fuel phase out, and why the Irish government must start putting people and the planet first, not corporations.
