Addressing yesterdays Hague Group meeting on defending international law, Norways foreign minister explained how he was active in the anti apartheid movement & when it comes to some issues there aren't two sides to the story.

Whether you’re commencing the work to rule today or not, we’re standing in solidarity with all public sector workers who have been utterly disrespected by this government with continued delays to public service pay talks. Gov must urgently engage with unions in negotiations to avoid escalation.

Library worker - while I personally detest JKR and DW, I would never dissuade a child from reading any book. A shitty author is not their concern. I do choose not to highlight certain authors on displays though (especially given these books are so heavily marketed elsewhere)

If musicians, who typically live with a more precarious income than most, can quit a high paying gig with Sheeran on principle, professional footballers with a job to go back to can boycott the Israel game. Stop the game, cowards #stopthegame

Sisters . . . No Way! 30th Anniversary Edition
30 years ago, The O'Brien Press published a book called Sisters ... No Way!. It had two front covers. Opposing takes on the same story, told from the POVs of two girls who were definitely NOT sisters. You read whichever one you wanted to first, and then flipped the book over and got the other side of the story. And then flipped back to read to read the first one again, now that you knew how it looked through the other not-sister's eyes.

A persistent hum is keeping families awake at night in Clondalkin. Residents living near the Echelon data centre have complained of broken sleep and frustration, with the EPA instructing the company to investigate the source of the noise and measures to reduce it. More on Virgin Media PLAY.

Ireland’s homelessness crisis has deepened over the last decade, and there’s still no sense of urgency from Government. Today, the latest figures reveal that 17,527 people were living in emergency accommodation in July 2026. #SpéirGorm

The Dáil’s emergency session sat for 1hr 45mins. 44mins later the latest homelessness statistics came out and they confirmed what I said this morning, a shameful new record of 17,527 people who are officially homeless. But they’re not an emergency. That’s on us as well as the government.
