President of #Ukraine Volodymyr #Zelenskyy has now departed Leinster House in Dublin #Ireland. He thanked Ireland for "not losing faith in us" and is sure the day will come when they can welcome home all "our people who were forced to flee, back to a peaceful Ukraine, back home."

My thanks to the woman currently being harassed and stalked by her next door neighbour for sharing her ongoing and terrifying ordeal with me and the @irishexaminer.bsky.social readers. It wasn't easy. Hopefully other victims realise they're not alone. www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlig...

A heartfelt letter from poet Róisín Kelly in Saturday’s @irishexaminer.bsky.social about newly refurbished Bishop Lucey Park in Cork City. Grass gone, replaced with basically a huge concrete pathway…why did Cork City Councillors vote this through?

www.irishexaminer.com/news/courtan... Finally some closure for Tom Niland’s loved ones. He suffered so much in his last 20 months after this savage attack, and all for just €800. Well done to An Garda Síochána for successfully prosecuting these 3 men. RIP Tom 🕯️ #Sligo
Three men who killed pensioner Tom Niland sentenced to a total of 43 years
The judge noted that the killers had carried out reconnaissance on Mr Niland and targeted him because he lived alone and, as a man in his 70s, they 'fully understood' that he could be easily overcome
