After drones repeatedly hovered over the #Madleen last night, we need people of the world to help tag and email their foreign ministry. The volunteers aboard are delivering life-saving aid to Gaza. They are unarmed, carrying only food, medicine, baby formula; acting fully within international law.

I am very sorry to read of the death of Michael O'Brien, former mayor of Clonmel and survivor of abuse in the Industrial School in Ferryhouse, Clonmel. His contribution on RTÉ'S Q&A programme in 2009 was one of the most powerful pieces of television I have ever seen. Condolences to his family.
