"This is not a technical or administrative matter, but a deliberate policy choice with foreseeable consequences," Joint statement.

"Every so often, we read reports concerning the distribution of wealth among private individuals, nationally and globally." This Jan. 19 our annual Davos report into spiraling inequality globally and here in Ireland will again raise the alarm and add new data and insights. @SenatorMcDowell raises some important social justice questions here.

@RTENewsPaulC @rtenews Well done and very best of success in the new role Paul. No doubt you will be as great there as you have been on tv for these past years 👏

And that’s a wrap: just finished my last live into the 9TV News as RTÉ Political Correspondent. After 7 years at Leinster House, I’m looking forward to my new role as RTÉ Radio News Presenter in the New Year. @rtenews

This #Christmas, your gift can help keep peace alive 🎄 When conflict destroyed the only generator in Awad’s village in Lebanon, water and electricity were gone for seven months. Every drop had to stretch further. Hospitals closed. Awad was forced to leave his home. Thanks to your support, the generator was fixed. Water flowed again. Families returned. Awad’s grandchild now has access to clean water. Your support helps families come home, schools reopen, and life begin again. 💚Donate bit.ly/4ijIzY6

I addressed the Irish Oireachtas. It is a great honor for me to stand here today – in a country that understands the price of freedom better than many in Europe, better than many in the world, and that shares our belief that every voice counts, every nation matters. Please remember, your voice matters – from Ireland’s vote at the United Nations, to the words in your media. From your thoughts here in Dublin, to every home in the global Irish community around the world. That’s millions of people who can influence hundreds of millions more. When the most powerful apply pressure, the global community helps guide that pressure in the right direction. The aggressor must be held accountable for what was done. Please, take an active role in making the Tribunal for this aggression a reality. Not just joining, but pushing, working, insisting that justice must begin with accountability. Please, continue to advocate for every form of sanctions against Russia. And it is time for Russian assets to serve the cause of peace – to help defend and rebuild Ukraine. This is a long-overdue decision, and it must be implemented. And please – call on everyone in the world to help return all the children abducted by Russia, and all the prisoners still held in Russian jails and camps – many of whom have been there not just since 2022, but since 2014, when Russia launched its hybrid war against us and occupied Crimea. This has gone on far too long to simply close our eyes and turn the page on Russia. Without a just peace, hatred will not fade – it will continue to smolder and provoke new violence. History has seen this before. And this time, it must be different. We need real peace. Help us achieve it. And never lose your faith in Ukraine.

🌍 That’s a wrap on Second Hand September! There are enough clothes on the planet right now to dress the next six generations. Yet in Ireland, millions of garments still end up in landfill every year. The fashion industry needs a new trend, one that doesn’t cost the earth. 💚 Thank you for joining us in making fashion circular, and remember, the real challenge starts now: keeping those second hand habits going all year round. 👉 Check out our full Second Hand September recap stories.oxfamireland.org/oxfam-ireland-… to see the highlights, events, and how you can keep the movement going.

"This ceasefire cannot be a temporary pause in violence but must be a permanent end to the bloodshed, suffering and destruction wreaked on the people of Gaza over these past two years" @JimClarken, CEO of Oxfam Ireland. oxfamireland.org/press/oxfam-ir…

"People are living under daily trauma, terror and repeated uprooting. They're being uprooted again and again with no safe place to go. This is going to scar generations to come. Even our partners are directly under attack." Our colleague, Bushra Khalidi, @oxfamjerusalem Policy Lead, spoke on @RTE_PrimeTime this evening.
