There was already a law in place designating the UK as a safe third (non EU) country since 2020 - SI 725/20. The HCT found the designation unlawful only last month, following challenges in 23/24. Very few people however were transferred back to the UK in 3-4 yrs before this.

Forcing the evacuation of two little kids from their home after midnight because of threats to their life.

This is grotesque.

Last week it was Roderic O’Gorman

This week, the UK will likely pass a law saying Rwanda is 'safe' to deport asylum seekers to. Meanwhile, I was recently denied boarding on a flight to Rwanda, presumably because of my journalism on the treatment of refugees there. (THREAD) 1/

Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
The German government has forcibly prevented me from entering the country
Silencing a witness to genocide before the ICJ adds to Germany's complicity in the ongoing massacre.

Only in Gaza you will see airdrops and airstrikes in one picture.

No one should look to the sky and wonder if what's falling is death or dinner.

'We should also remember that we already had extended opening hours with theatre licences, with the glory days of the Gaiety and Spirit up until 2008.'

“Croatian who died in fatal Dublin assault was attacked for ‘not speaking English’ as pal pays tribute to ‘brother’”

Incredible chutzpah from the new DCC chief exec.

Still tumbleweed when it comes to a food market in Dublin - and he decides to have a go at the English market in Cork, which has been operating successfully for literally hundreds of years.
