So grateful to the Loyal Sons of Benagh for stopping outside our wee cluster of Catholic houses to play The Sash nice and loud this morning at 8.
They march down the road every year but were extra drummy this year.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Described as Gaza’s youngest influencer, Yaqeen Hammad volunteered as a humanitarian worker and a journalist. Always with a smile.
She’s been killed by the Israeli genocidal campaign. Her smile taken away from the world. For what? FOR WHAT?!?!?

Unless we have experienced similar tragedy it is impossible to understand the pain that has been brought on this family in Galway today. There is no excuse for our roads and streets not being safe for children to walk and cycle along.
