I see anti-choicers talking of a conspiracy to introduce abortion ‘up to birth’ (note loaded term). Late abortion is ALREADY legal in Ireland to save the woman’s life. It was even meant to exist under the 8th amendment. Once again they minimise women’s lives. #abortion

1967: Chaim Herzog boasts about his decision to destroy 125 Palestinian homes in Jerusalem that housed thousands of residents. He describes the Palestinian neighbourhood as "a toilet" & ordered bulldozers to flatten houses in the Mughrabi Quarter while families were inside

"Illegal" US Immigration and Customs Enforcement flights – carrying deportees to countries they have no personal ties to – refuelled at Shannon this summer. It’s Simon Harris’s position that such illegal ICE flights don’t don’t need diplomatic clearance. ontheditch.com/illegal-us-ice…

'We have three heroes on trial, Irish people being tried by Irish law, while the government is the one violating all of that. That's the ultimate shame in having to advocate for the obvious. We're here to talk about the Shannon trial, but we're also not just talking about that.'

THE SCENES🤩 Kerry McInroy has completed the comeback for Shels. What a game of football!

List of people interviewed on key RTE news programme @thisweekrte the day after historic LEFT win in #PresidentialElection: 1. Maria Steen of Iona (hard right catholic) 2. Fine Gael junior minister 3. Fianna Fáil TD and 4. Sinn Féin TD. How does state broadcaster explain this?

Could the establishment make it any clearer who they want as next President. ‘Connolly’ surname used but its first names for ‘Heather’ who they are at pains to stress is gaining. It’s politer than #SmearTheBejasus I suppose.

@offtheball @ShamrockRovers @shelsfc That's the Sligo Rovers crest not the @shelsfc crest there !

#PepperSpray, batons, riot gear. Incredible photos taken by Cian, young activist, at Dublin Port today. Why are @gardainfo tooling up & brutalising peaceful Palestine solidarity protest? 2 women pepper sprayed tell me that even after three showers, their skin is stinging.

REPOST if you’re PROUD of Greta Thunberg for what she does for Palestine🇵🇸✊🏻

Jim Gavin certainly thinks Catherine Connolly is the frontrunner

As a trade unionist I have declared my support for @catherinegalway for President and encourage other trade unionists to do so like wise. catherineconnollyforpresident.ie/workers

working on an Irish vessel in Dunmore East. Since July last year Irish fishing vessel owners have had a means to legally recruit non-EEA fishers under the work permit system. A cap of 150 permits was agreed with fishing industry representatives. To date only 6 non-EEA fishers 5/

The trafficking of fishers from Indonesia into Ireland to work on Irish flagged fishing vessels has been ongoing over the last year. Two of these victims have so far been admitted by the Garda into the referral mechanism for human trafficking. A couple more may be referred to 1/
