As others turn away from their obligations to international development, it's welcome that the Irish Govt has announced an increased of €14 million in the budget. However, in the face of devastating climate impacts, protracted conflict & humanitarian crises we had hoped for a meaningful increase.

At a time when global instability is escalating and poverty is increasing, the announcement in today’s budget of a marginal increase in official development assistance (ODA) spending falls short of what is required to meet the growing needs of people in some of the world’s most fragile countries.

Mental Health in Gaza ‘as important as food, as important as water’

Trócaire @trocaire.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Mental health support in Gaza is vitally important as a part of the humanitarian response there. For children and families, experiencing a genocide, which is still ongoing, on a daily basis brings unimaginable trauma.

Fracking was banned in Ireland in 2017 because of its detrimental effects on human health & the environment, but now the Government are considering importing fracked gas? In addition to methane emissions, fracking has been proven to cause increases in cancers, and contaminating the water supply.

The escalation in recent weeks of settler violence in the West Bank has been horrific, supported by the Israeli Government. It is ethnic cleansing. Even the US Ambassador has called the violence in Qusra 'terror attacks'. Keep calling out the violence & injustice faced by the people of Palestine!

Trócaire CEO Seán Farrell knows first hand the heartbreak and devastation Ebola brings, having worked in Sierra Leone during the 2014/15 outbreak. Drawing from our experience of that, as well as the 2018 Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, we know what to do to stop the spread and save lives.

It's still happening. Just because it's in the news less, doesn't mean it's not happening. In Palestine, Israel are committing genocide while the UN have found 'hallmarks of genocide' in El Fasher in Sudan. We must keep calling it out whenever it occurs. 'Never again' is becoming 'time and again'.
