There are numerous examples of wasteful Irish foreign aid spending, incidents of mismanagement and fraud related to this aid once it is handed over, and funds being channelled through corrupt regimes and aid agencies (UNRWA being a case in point). This involves hundreds of millions of euros of Irish taxpayers' money. Meanwhile, we have a young Irish girl in desperate need of treatment that could give her a less painful and easier life, but she cannot access it. We can support corrupt regimes and aid agencies, yet the government refuses to help this girl, whose mother is essentially begging to raise the less than half a million euros needed for her daughter's desperately needed treatment. It is a truly shocking state of affairs.

A young murdered woman had an anniversary on Sunday.

I found her case to be one of the most heartbreaking I've ever researched.

Her name was Statia Byrne (23), a young Irish Traveller woman murdered by her boyfriend on July 12th, 1905 in Boola, County Waterford. /1

Well done to this tourist for being wise to it.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I was a big supporter of Amnesty when they fought political imprisonment and torture

Now I renounce them entirely

[Katiesfighttokeepwalking @Katiesfight24]

I would do absolutely anything to see this total reach €400,000.

Not for myself. For Katie.

At the moment, she is completely stuck in limbo. Her friends are planning college, jobs, holidays and the next chapters of their lives, while Katie sits in her room waiting for news—waiting to hear whether she will be given the chance to have the surgery she desperately needs.

Her whole future has been put on hold because of pain, delays and decisions that are completely out of her hands.

She is only 19. She should be excited about what comes next, not watching life pass her by from her bedroom.

How is that a life?

We have raised €69,660, and I am so grateful for every single donation, but we still have such a long way to go.

I cannot get Katie there alone. Please donate if you can, and if you cannot, please share her fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for her.

Please help me get my daughter to €400,000 and give her the chance to finally move forward. 💔🙏

Should any of the women's organisations targeted by @AmnestyUK's recent 'anti-rights' blacklist wish to take legal action, applications can be made to the JK Rowling Women's Fund. https://t.co/iyohnrgVZN

Amnesty. Did you ever see anything so stupid in your life

[Barry Cummins / Barra O’Coimín @barrycummins12]

39 years ago today Antoinette Smith went to the David Bowie concert in Slane. She was later seen in Dublin City. It would be nine months later that her body was found buried in Dublin mountains. Case still unsolved. Any info please call @gardainfo at 1800 666 111 #unsolved

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

As a former major fund-raiser for Amnesty - I produced the first five 'Secret Policeman's Balls' - I renounce the mob who have taken over Amnesty

Amnesty used to be about trying to do something about TORTURE

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I was once a major fund-raiser for Amnesty

But in those days it was about preventing torture

Not about sexual identity

I disown them

[2012 @Bufferb2012]

@Martynw34 Don't like it, much prefer the mens doubles to follow. Something else i also don't like is the mixed double final being played on a thursday. Wtf is that about, it goes unnoticed.

Merci !

La Tapisserie de Bayeux projetée sur les falaises blanches de Douvres. Magnifique !

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

La Tapisserie de Bayeux a pris le chemin de Londres. Ce trésor millénaire qui raconte notre histoire commune traverse la Manche. Merci aux équipes qui ont rendu possible ce geste historique de confiance, de culture et d’amitié.

Vive l’Entente cordiale !

Unpopular opinion on book etiquette:

I don't lend books.

I will happily buy you your own copy. I will send you the audiobook link.

But my copy—with my notes, my stains, my memories—is staying right here.

Am I a monster? Or have you been hurt too?
