@BarackObama Praying clearly doesn’t work. Stop promoting cults.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

@johncreedon twelve years married today and our little girl started “big” school and your last song from astral weeks was the album we played to our parents after our “secret” wedding 💒 on this day all those moons ago. Serendipity 🎶

@johncreedon that Sweet Georgia Brown rendition reminded me of being taken to see Hot Foot every Sunday(1980s) with my parents at The Pink Flamingo in stillorgan. The start of my love affair with live music

@TodaywithClaire can this man just look up the definition and origins of the words burger and sausage? This is a waste of airtime

@johncreedon in case this message was too early today. Xx

@johncreedon it’s the eve of my birthday and I’d like to remember my uncle Alan O’Duffy whose funeral is this week. He was a legendary sound engineer with many of the greats in the 60s & 70s - Wings, Slade, Deep Purple & Horslips & the stones, to name a few.

@DublinAirport at the advice of your support, I downloaded two other browsers and I am still getting the same message repeatedly

@DublinAirport I’ve been trying to book parking for this Thursday for the last two days. Every time I get to the checkout it says the price has changed and I must rebook. Cannot get through to your phone and you don’t accept my messages on instagram. How can I book? Thanks 🙏

@johncreedon gorgeous to arrive in the door this evening to my fave Sandy Denny number 🎶

@johncreedon it’s been a while but having a gorgeous Friday valentines night in with himself listening to yourself 💕

@johncreedon thanks for Dolores 🎶 #galwaybay

@johncreedon hello from a wet and windy mizen head on our annual holiday with Helen-Claire, Leo, Otto and Edie. Listening while we have the fire on and a late dinner.

@johncreedon just listening to Take me back to the Island in the Sun and inspired me to shout out to my brother in law Tom and his fabulous new wife Eva who got married on Inishbofin last Saturday (in the sun, on the beach)! A magical festival of love!!

@BarackObama I’m so disappointed in @BarackObama #freepalestine #endgenocide

Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza - a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza. A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long. As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home - and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support - for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.

@johncreedon it’s that time of year again; the husband Conor has had another trip around the sun ☀️. He loves nick drake who you just played but a shout out is always loved 🥰

@RareIrishStuff The long hall?

Love this photo. Can anyone identify the pub?

@johncreedon listening in from Thomastown with Conor and Edie who’s 3 and very excited this Christmas. Especially as her nana Janey Mack and Uncle Tom have come to celebrate with us. Happy Christmas John and team xx

Mary Robinson reacts to the release of the draft text at #COP28: “It is not good enough to say you recognise and respect the science but then fail to take heed of its dire warnings in the collective action you commit to. It is not good enough to note with ‘alarm and serious concern’ the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the damage being caused by climate change but then fail to put in place the steps the science recommends. It is not good enough to say you reaffirm the Paris Agreement but to then fail to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out. It is not good enough to use weak language or to permit loopholes for the fossil fuel industry to continue to contribute to the very problem countries are meant to be committed to tackling here in Dubai. Adequate time and opportunity still lie ahead, provided that nations promptly return to the negotiating table, equipped with the resolve required for a crisis of this magnitude and a readiness to undertake the necessary measures. This current version of the COP28 text is grossly insufficient.” Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders #DraftText #COP28UAE

Ceasefire now

If I called for huge protests all over the world, especially in the US to stop killing us and call for a ceasefire Do you believe we could move the people to do it? Ceasefire now!
