Day 11. No electricity. No phone reception. No Internet. And not a single ESB worker to be seen in the area in literally the entire 11 days. Everybody is saying the same thing. Where are all the workmen, Irish or crews brought in from other countries, because we haven't seen a single person. Not 1.

At least the Dail got an extra 2 weeks of holidays.

I'm hearing about so many people in their late 80s and 90s hanging on by a thread. The newspapers and radio stations have basically stopped talking about it. We're old news.

[President of Ireland @PresidentIRL]

President Higgins today welcomed members of the first Ireland International women’s football team, who represented the country in matches in May and June 1973, to Áras an Uachtaráin to mark their historic contribution to Irish sport. Read more at https://t.co/OlEgcw2tV4

The violence against Palestinians in the West Bank is a reminder that genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid have not ended.

We will never stop opposing the occupation of Palestine because we believe in a simple and moral truth: every human being deserves to live in freedom.

102 caps and a World Cup appearance over 18 years, Diane Caldwell has now hung up her international boots.

Wishing you a happy retirement Diane, thanks for everything ☘️

Roughly the equivalent of 15 English Premier League squads. Murdered. Or every single League of Ireland Premier Division squad, and more. International football's governing bodies, silent

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

This morning’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital has put this last major health facility in North #Gaza out of service. Initial reports indicate that some key departments were severely burnt and destroyed during the raid.

60 health workers and 25 patients in critical condition, including those on ventilators, reportedly remain in the hospital. The patients in moderate to severe condition were forced to evacuate to the destroyed and non-functional Indonesian Hospital. WHO is deeply concerned for their safety.

This raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital comes after escalating restrictions on access for WHO and partners, and repeated attacks on or near the facility since early October. Such hostilities and the raids are undoing all our efforts and support to keep the facility minimal functional.

The systematic dismantling of the health system in Gaza is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care.

This horror must end and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.

We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.

This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.

[Girls on the Ball @GirlsontheBall]

It’s been a pretty disheartening + upsetting few weeks for the LGBTQIA+ community + wondering if football really is a safe space for us, egged on by some who really should know better. We just want to say that we hope everyone is doing ok. Hate + division will not win. As a collective, we’ve got much more to do than we expected we’d have to in 2024 ❤️‍🩹
