Constructing a broad European community has never been more important as our governments deal with many serious economic, social, and political challenges. Today's European Political Community Summit engaged in vital discussions on shared energy resilience & security.

While everyone watched Iran, Washington quietly finalized Nord Stream’s replacement: Poseidon. 4 gas deals in 4 months 🇸🇾🇮🇱🇬🇷🇨🇾 $3 trillion dollars I spent weeks on these maps and this investigation to expose the US agenda in Iran and globally. richardmedhurst.substack.com/p/how-the-us-p…




The Irish government pulled the plug on its €1 million grant for Benefacts, effectively killing the only watchdog tracking Ireland's €14 billion charity sector. The the state used a "value for money" excuse to bury transparency and stop the independent body from prying into how public funds were being spent. It had detailed breakdowns of charity funding, spending and executive salaries. It acted as a financial map, turning messy filings into clear data on how €14 billion was raised and spent across the sector. Why did the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform DPER under Michael McGrath and Paschal O’Donohue ignore the Central Statistics Office and cancel the only publicly accessible, highly regarded website?

Benefacts was an independent, non-governmental organisation in Ireland 2014–2022 that provided a comprehensivesearchable database of over 18,000–20,000 nonprofit, voluntary, and charitable organizations. It was established to increase transparency. It provided a unique, centralised database that was used by the Irish CSO for national accounts. *The government concluded that the "business case" for continued support was no longer justified, despite objections from the Benefacts board and concerns regarding a loss of transparency in the charity sector.

Stand to be corrected but can't find any mainstream ** media coverage on this side of the Border, about yesterday's uproar in the Dail, and the Taoiseach sticking to his guns, that migration is a feature of homelessness. Beltel in NI covers the story albeit glancingly, but its sister paper the Irish Independent hasn't. Very strange. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/republic-… Even Miriam Lord, the "colour-writer" on Dail proceedings, and who loves nothing better than a good old barney to bring to her audience, couldn't find room in her 1300 words today, to tell us about the wee Shinner trembling and whimpering "I was provoked by the Taoiseach" to justify his interruption of Leaders Questions between Micheal Martin and Ivana Bacik. It was classic. So, why omit it? ** apart from Gript









@chumponabike Anyone under the age of 25 will find it impossible to imagine that when they were born, Ireland was one of the most homogenous Western nations. I didn't see a black person in real life until I was about 18. And I'm only 44. This rate of change is unparalleled anywhere.
