It's not often you see young women entering politics. And when they do, especially in rural areas, they're often treated as underdogs. @socialmide.bsky.social is on a mission to show why young women can – and should – get involved.

US president Donald Trump and Israel's  Benjamin Netanyahu may have made a big miscalculation in attacking Iran by thinking that force alone can defeat belief.

Irish Data Protection Commission was asked today in Committee: have you ever taken a GDPR decision on Google? Answer... No. Ireland is responsible for supervising Google's data use across the whole EU. It has produced no decisions. Kudos @sineadgibney.bsky.social for asking the question.

This is a betrayal of the people of Galway by this government. The Minister for Health must urgently make good on previous commitments and deliver an elective-only hospital for Galway, not a slightly enlarged hub.

Absolutely scandalous that the government appears to be rowing back on committments to an elective hospital in Merlin Park. Here in Galway we have some of the longest wait lists in the country for elective procedures. These facilities are not an optional add on, they provide vital care.

I know it’s not the same. But Simon Harris gave several interviews over the Christmas where he spoke about the impact online abuse has had on him and his family. We have Jim O’Callaghan looking for digital i.d’s. So to see this CSAM obfuscation is pretty informative and infuriating.

Prison overcrowding can't be solved by increasing prison capacity alone. We need to see massive investment in community outreach, community policing, and an emphasis on rehabilitation.

Deeply concerning line in the PfG. In a context where those seeking asylum already face restrictions to their movements one has to wonder how close the new government intends to move to a system that looks more like detention of asylum seekers.
