Very proud of our national broadcaster this evening!
Love that I get to do this as part of my job!
Hear from our Community Volunteers on their experience supporting the big build recently in Tallaght. As we’ve always said, you get far more out of Volunteering than you give into it.

Some people think this guy should be President of Ireland! Let’s keep reminding ourselves (and others) what he truly is!

It’s a shame that the term ‘illegal immigrant’ has become accepted as fact in day to day conversation. There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant - and yet no one challenges it!
“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’”
My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’.
I bring receipts:

Today, in South Dublin County, on St. Patrick's Day, the individuals whom Conor McGregor spoke so dismissively about at the White House were the very same people volunteering at parades in Tallaght, Rathcoole, Saggart, Clondalkin, and Lucan.

“Zelenskyy is the real thing. He stayed in Kyiv, when Russian forces were closing in & the city was under bombardment. Vance, by contrast, chose to move to an undisclosed location when confronted with a few hecklers on a skiing trip this weekend”

Europe has bought Zelenskyy some time
The big question remains whether Ukraine can survive without American assistance

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

America has totally lost its status in the world. Countries that were our allies are worried. People in our country are worried. What is Trump going to do next? What more can he destroy with our allies? it’s not the America I grew up in and love anymore.

At this stage I don’t care if Ireland suffers economically- but our Taoiseach should cancel our visit to the United States for Saint Patrick’s Day. Trump is a disgrace and any pandering to his ego is just rewarding a bully and a thug!

Once again, the #UN General Assembly underlined the importance of a lasting and just peace in #Ukraine, in full respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Otherwise, no country in the world will be safe from a stronger neighbor’s aggression. #UNGA 1/3

The absolute shame of this! The United States voted with Russia, North Korea, Belarus and 14 other Moscow-friendly countries. The USA now sides with dictators, fascists and war criminals... But when you have a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist as your president, it's not surprising!
U.S. votes against U.N. resolution condemning Russia for Ukraine war
Washington’s shift on the Ukraine war marks a major break with European allies and comes as the Trump administration aims to repair relations with Russia.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.
A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

So… we see the sight today of an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon taking on the highest office in the US. Well done America, you must be so proud of yourself!

The task for 2025:
- if you’re a student or staff & your Uni/school is on X, ask them to justify why
- if your favourite sports team is on X, ask them to justify why
- if you’re a voter, anywhere, and your elected representative is on X, ask them to justify why.
And tell them to join Bluesky.

There is no justification for governments/organisations who believe in democracy & tolerance to stay on X.
Musk has overtly aligned himself with racists & his platform actively promotes disinformation & civil unrest.
Staying on X is not “resistance”, it is supporting his agenda.
Get off. Now.
