Still my #1❤️

Gaza. No journalists allowed. No human rights monitors allowed. No investigators allowed. Humanitarians severely restricted.
No witnesses, other than the victims themselves.

Tomorrow! I am very much looking forward to this.

Anglo-Irish relations in a bad space tonight.

Meeting between Justice Minister Helen McEntee and Home Sec James Cleverley cancelled last minute

Irish govt source says “party political bullshit” behind Sunak comments today and UK govt reaction to Irish comments on Rwanda plan

How central #humanrights are “to peace and stability and democracy”. Great to hear the views of Prof. Michael O’Flaherty, as he takes up the challenging role of Commissioner for Human Rights at the Council of Europe. Watch back on #OireachtasTV #OirTV Houses of the Oireachtas - Tithe an Oireachtais Michael O'Flaherty

More horrible news. A stringer for Reuters in Moscow has been arrested (for some alleged other/prior work) according to the court.

Konstantin Gabov, a journalist and video producer, will now face trial and jail in Russia. Local staff always at highest risk

European Parliament in Ireland #Strasbourg

The utter depravity of this Israeli war on the civilian population of Gaza. Elderly people, aid workers, kids, ambulance drivers, law professors, shopkeepers, students, pregnant women, unborn infants, all deemed legitimate targets by the IDF. #CeasefireNow

He’s current a policing minister but this man was actually an immigration minister very recently. Clearly never looked at a map or the political context in Rwanda. Policy on the back of a crisp packet.

More and more flowers all day today, and candles tonight in Dun Laoghaire, left by friends, neighbours, fellow IADT students, local residents, and passersby as a mark of respect to 22 year-old Greta Price-Martin. Heartbreaking❤️
