Connemara has been calling me for a long time, to explore how a place and its people can be so powerful. Now we’ve embarked on this documentary and we’re digging deep. All hopes for it are falling into place agus táimid fíorbhuíoch as an bhfáilte a cuireadh romhainn ar an turas.

Great story here by Mary Morrissy.

What a stunning book this has shown itself to be; I’m entranced. Isabella Hammad, a British-Palestinian writer, trains her sharp and empathetic eye on a production of Hamlet in the West Bank. But there’s so much more at play here. Magisterial. Read it if you can.

Where is Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital, detained by Israeli forces during a raid on 27 December? He must be released now. What kind of world allows this to happen? Our hearts fail us when it comes to talking about Gaza and the Palestinian people.
