This year's list features several names associated with @meteirean's history, as we celebrate our 90th anniversary. 🥳
🧵 1/3
Services are currently SUSPENDED until further notice between Malahide and Portmarnock Stations.
Due to a report of a vehicle striking a bridge in the area. Staff en route. Update to follow. -AD
@heimer_dexter@IrishRail I read in the news a vehicle struck a bridge in the area earlier today around lunchtime & services were suspended between grand canal dock & pearse in both directions so maybe that's had a knock on affect? 🤔

#StormChandra
The Irish Red Cross has launched a dedicated phone helpline
📞01 642 4648
Manned by @irishredcross staff and volunteers, to support people distressed by flood damage to their home, property or business.
The helpline is for people who would like to speak to someone who can provide them with a supportive ‘listening ear’ and make them aware of other Government or local authority support services.
It is not an emergency services phoneline. Anyone in need of on-the-ground help from emergency services should call 112 / 999.
Members of the public can also contact Waterford City and County Council’s Customer Services Desk on 0818 10 20 20 and outside of office hours calls will be transferred to the Council’s emergency services number.
Important emergency contact numbers:
Emergency 999/112
Uisce Éireann 1800 278 278
ESB Networks 1800 372 999
Gas Networks Ireland 1800 205 050
The @irishredcross is conducting an anonymous survey to better understand the experiences, needs & challenges of people living in Ireland under temporary protection. They particularly want to hear from people with #disabilities & the Ukrainian community.

Following on from our meeting in Ramallah yesterday we travelled to Dura, Hebron to meet with our inspiring #RedCrescent volunteers.
They are providing essential community services from emergency medical response to mobile clinics. It’s truly moving to hear firsthand from volunteers of all ages what motivates them to help others.
Their support is absolutely vital in this challenging context.
Irish Red Cross International Programme Manager @aocarroll & Head of International & Migration Niall O'Keeffe visiting with Palestine Red Crescent colleagues this week in West Bank to discuss our support & strengthening collaboration...
We are in the West Bank this week, meeting with our wonderful colleagues @PalestineRCS!
Our discussions are all about strengthening our collaboration and finding new ways to work together.
We’re committed to supporting their crucial humanitarian efforts and collectively addressing the urgent needs of people in the #WestBank & #Gaza.
Follow along for more updates on our progress.
Blue pen just exploded all over my hands. Should I take it as a bad omen? 🤔 🤦🏼♀️
This is the result after going at it for 30 minutes with nail varnish remover & boiling hot water with soap & a nail brush. Any suggestions how to remove it folks?
“Though Ireland is far in distance, our hearts meet in the same pain, in the same hope.”
Our Sec Gen @DeirdreGarvey visited quake-hit Gaziantep & Kahramanmaraş.
We thank @RedCrescent for the warm welcome & admire the strength of our colleagues & the Movement’s impact.
