🧵 When I draw I am influenced by Irish culture & landscape. This is my photo of Kerry where, ancient Bohan’s lived for a thousand years.
You can’t escape your past, as you can see in my art as you scroll down this thread & see my one-off ink on paper drawings [1]
The #Israeli Military Are Conducting #Ethnic Cleansing Ops In South #Lebanon -The Cluster Munitions & Other Weapon Systems & Ammunition They Are Using Are Supplied Through Irish Controlled Airspace & Are Being Fired In Close Proximity To Irish @UN Peacekeepers -This Must Stopped
The EHRC Guidance on single-sex spaces is unjust and unworkable.
That's why UNISON are demanding MPs stand with trans and non-binary workers and oppose the guidance.
From feeding Dublin's homeless every Friday night to consistently standing up for Palestine's just cause, @Msoe_Dublin are truly inspiring.
An honour to finally meet this group of women in person and learn about the vast work they do enriching communities across Ireland.
Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City.
Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation. https://t.co/Ptoy3nAKz4
Delighted to attend the launch of RDF Employer Engagement Handbook. Supporting reservists is a win for the State, employers & DF alike—building capability, resilience & leadership while giving individuals more tools, skills & opportunities to contribute to society. #BeMore ☘️🇮🇪☘️
The definition of extreme/far right [fascism] is given below. Removing the right of trans & non-binary people to use public conveniences, of their choice, is a clear example of ‘anti-democratic opposition towards equality.
Meanwhile in England.
[It’s over 80y since the UK bankrupted itself & lost its Empire, in order to [temporarily] defeat fascism. Today it has a fascist govt that persecutes trans & non-binary ppl as a blood sport.]
They are trying to get an M&S store manager fired for not being able to change the company policy on changing rooms, despite all changing rooms at that location being cubicles with floor to ceiling lockable doors
The Government has approved the continued participation of the Defence Forces in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon @UNIFIL through to the planned conclusion of the mission’s mandate.

Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
These ground staff were all waiting for the airplane to arrive. Seems that one of their recently retired colleagues passed away suddenly while on holiday in Turkey and they were there to bring him home...
Ireland 🇮🇪 💚

PUBLIC NOTICE: Today, there will be a convoy of MOWAG Armoured Personnel Carriers travelling from Cork City to the Curragh Camp, Co. Kildare.
We can confirm that this convoy is the 128th Infantry Battalion conducting mission readiness exercises ahead of deployment to UNIFIL next month.
Mission Readiness Exercises are critical activities to train and prepare our personnel for conducting duties in Southern Lebanon.
The nastiness & hateful comments on here just get worse & worse. Even just checking on Iran News there’s a stream of UK/US hate towards LGBTQ ppl. I’m on the other place where ppl don’t do this far right stuff. It’s civilised.
It fascinates me that when something like fuel costs can bring Dublin to a standstill, that Trump’s threat to annihilate Iran doesn’t result in millions descending on Washington DC. Democracy isn’t just about voting, it’s also about protesting & making your views seen & heard.
Buses and trams are at a standstill in Dublin city centre as fuel protests continue into the night.
Traffic is unable to pass the protesters, who are currently blocking the line at O’Connell Bridge https://t.co/jsOUr2sPcq
BREAKING NEWS LEBANON -More UN Personnel Murdered -All attacks on Peacekeepers = War Crime - There will be more attacks & more fatalities @UN & @UNIFIL_ operating rapidly changing & extremely dangerous environment -Thinking of @defenceforces Personnel & families @ this awful time
Great Analysis From Mary Regan: SNA controversy exposes State’s ingrained attitude to people with disabilities -✊Quote ‘the historically ingrained belief that what the State offers to those with greatest need is a benefit, rather than an essential right’

Harvey Sherratt’s heartbroken mother marks what should have been his 10th birthday
This week, Gillian shared a post to honour what would have been Harvey’s 10th birthday, admitting that she struggled to think of a way to mark the occassion.
Gillian Sherratt has marked what should have been her son Harvey’s 10th birthday.
She wrote on X on Wednesday: ‘Tomorrow, the 15th January would have been Harvey’s 10th birthday. We have been trying to think of a way to celebrate him but honestly nothing feels quite enough.
‘We would love if anyone would like to join us in doing a #WaveOfLight for him tomorrow at 7pm #JusticeForHarvey.

Dear Harvey, your light will shine on forever 💔 today you should have turned 10, but your life was cut cruelly short.
The fight for #JusticeForHarvey very much continues. We recently received the autopsy report to find cause of death, and an inquest in to the circumstances and the abundance of failures is coming. We will share it all when we can as we strongly feel it needs to be on the public record. The cause of death has only added to our anger and our need for justice and accountability has never been stronger.
I am confident that Harvey’s light will guide us every step of the way.
