www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm... Ciarán Cannon nails it in this article. Canney is the worst road safety minister we’ve ever had. He still uses “accidents” in interviews (including when responding to the recent appalling, deliberate wrong-way motorway collision).
irishexaminer.com
Ciarán Cannon: No, Seán Canney, 'everybody' is not responsible for road deaths
As road deaths rise, the Government dropped planned reforms of the RSA and increased public transport fares — and now the minister seems to be disavowing political responsibility, writes Ciarán Cannon

Nutshell.
"The contrast between Europe’s decisive early response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine and its fragmented stance on Gaza is arguably as damaging to the international rules-based order as the actions of those seeking to undermine
it."

Rarely discussed but revealing: In May 2025, ICC President Akane publicly asked for help from the EU. Specifically, she asked the EU to apply its own law that would protect Judges from US sanctions being used against them *within the EU*. The EU has done nothing. Not a thing. 17 months on.
