Fabulous event last night at the Consular Association NI gala dinner sponsored by Co-operation Ireland Met some amazing people and had a chance to catch up with politicians from all parties. Nisha Tandon and Suzie Lee topped it all with their inspiring stories. Truly enjoyable.

Delighted to meet with some of the other lgbtq+ elected reps in the Oireachtas on Wednesday.

Plenty to do. Even the most cursory look at the comments tell you how much work there is to be done.

Of course it did. Baldur's Gate 3 sweeps Bafta Games Awards with five wins, including best game.

It’s a growing industry in Northern Ireland.

Sending love and solidarity to Zack and greens across England and London for the upcoming elections.

Climate change.

The world’s biggest exporter of olive oil, Spain, has halved its production due to drought and extreme heat, increasing its price (at origin!) 112% since 2022.

It’s happening to other food crops too. Olive oil today, everything else soon.

An important step - the Irish Government will recognise Palestinian statehood with other like-minded nations once discussions on an Arab-led peace initiative are complete. This is the right thing to do & is timed to support wider efforts to deliver peace. rte.ie/news/middle-ea…

Come work with me: No need for experience or a degree to get on this paid two-year Belfast Telegraph training programme. Journalism needs people from diverse backgrounds to better reflect society; this removes the barrier of a degree.

👏 WIN: European Court of Human Rights rules that CLIMATE PROTECTION is a HUMAN RIGHT.

A herstoric victory for KlimaSeniorinnen (Senior Women for Climate Protection) who took action against Switzerland for violating their human rights by failing to set sufficient climate targets.

Great to see this announcement of significant funding and really setting out the step change for inter-city rail.
Hopeful that this is the ambition to really deliver the All-Island Rail Review.

Proud to join the team today and make it official as I become a member of the Seanad.

Looking forward to working with my Green colleagues, government and cross party.

Senator Mal O'Hara makes history as the first Northern Green to take a seat in Seanad Éireann.

Senator O'Hara said 'I can represent all traditions from Northern Ireland as a fair arbiter.'

Exciting. A few more Green MPs in the next Parliament will help hold Labour to delivering green jobs, and real social justice. I’ve made a donation to Carla Denyer’s campaign, and I’ll canvass for her come the election. Here’s how you can get involved too

The arts are an intrinsic good.

And that’s a wrap!

It has been an absolute pleasure working at Belfast Film Festival over the last year.

A great crew of very talented and dedicated people giving above and beyond in a chronically underfunded arts sector.

Thanks soo much. Much love 💚❤️

Fascists and hatemongers acting with impunity thinking the can intimidate this fantastic woman out of public life.

Now let's get that Hate Crime Bill over the line. Hoping progressives will hold the line.
