The Irish state's badger killing programme is barbaric. Last year 5,187 were snared and shot. There is no closed season so mothers are shot even when dependent young are helpless in the sett. We can't even say it's bringing down TB rates in cattle.
More than 1,600 people got hepatitis C from the transfusions provided by the state's health service and to date more than 300 have died as a result. https://t.co/JtL5NvBiWZ
Fine Gael TD and health spokesperson Colm Burke was found “guilty of misconduct in his practice as a solicitor” for misleading a client suing the state over the ongoing nursing home fees scandal.
At one point Burke was representing 70+ similar clients.

Domestic customers of #electricity who susidised the electricity charges of big business to the tune of €50 million a year, for 12 years. Will receive a €50 refund. 🤪
They are laughing at us.

The #EU can write 2022 Report on Human Rights + Democracy in the world without mentioning the daily persecution + slaughter of #Palestinians by the Apartheid State of #Israel - And not a mention of Western supported Genocide in #Yemen - Why are we so selective in our criticism..?
The letter from the European Commission to @agriculture_ie is scathing of Ireland's Forest Strategy and the *on going* destruction of our most valued habitats. We demand meaningful reform!
Under my FOI it has been confirmed that not only did Householders unknowingly subsidise the electricity bills of large energy users inc Data Centres for 12 years but the Government did so on the back of lobbying from industry and used recession as excuse.
