If I had been taught in primary school that Amelia Earhart died because men ignored dozens of distress calls from her, that would've been a lot more helpful to my life than growing up scared of the Bermuda Triangle. smh
These have been sent on; the state of the pitch at the end of the game. Obviously same for both teams but it’s impossible to play a proper game in this, it’s also a danger to the players. While clearly no men’s game would be played in this, I don’t believe LGFA would either.
4 hour journey to Clare, venue changed at 12pm for a 2pm game, no dressing room before the game or hot showers afterwards… not usually one to give out but really not good enough. @OfficialCamogie
Two years ago today, Israel executed Hind Rajab with 335 bullets.
First, they murdered her family.
Then they killed her.
Then they executed the paramedics who tried to save her.
She was only 5 years old.
“I’m so scared, please come. Come take me. Please, will you come?”

NEW ALBUM

They tried to stop us by branding Kneecap 'terrorists', with cancellations, with statements from the Prime Minister himself.
We had all the motivation we needed…this isn't a swift reaction, but a considered response to those that tried to silence us. And failed.
Inspired by, and proudly named 'Fenian', who were warriors in Irish folklore, and later a derogatory term for the Irish.
Now we're using it to name everyone speaking truth to power.
After 800 years of colonisation, they thought the Irish language would die, it didn't. Thanks to Muintir na Gaeltachta, and all the Gaels who refused to let their culture and language be destroyed.
And KNEECAP is much the same…we haven't gone away.
The Paddies are back.

I think the hardest part of the political climate right now is realizing how many people around me are actually evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Just blatantly enjoying and relishing in the suffering of other human beings.
I can't believe I'm having to write this.
The only people who should run Gaza, are the people of Gaza.
Not some line up of rich, white war criminals. Not Blair, not Putin, not Trump, nor any other villain who wants in.
Palestine is for the Palestinians.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Medical misogyny is so real. Yesterday my sister noticed her period pain was more intense than usual. So we went to the hospital. In the emergency room, there was a man with slight abdominal pain who was given Percoset and immediately sent his test to the laboratory, and when the doctor came to check on my sister, he said, “It’s just your normal period pain & symptoms” then gave her Ibuprofen and sent us home…. Today her symptoms got worse, and we went again, and guess what, it was an ovarian cyst!...they conducted an ultrasound on my request! .....a man with abdominal pain is more serious to them apparently and A woman’s pain is normalized like women are supposed to suffer!
HERO: Irish MMA fighter Paddy McCorry beat the crap our of his Israeli rival.
He celebrated his victory by raising the Palestinian flag in the ring.
He shouted “free Palestine” & “f***k you baby killer” as he rained down punches.
The “ceasefire” in Gaza has been nothing but a smokescreen. 1,500 buildings destroyed since it began, and many deaths. It’s also being used insidiously to lessen commentary and end the boycott initiatives. Please don’t look away. 😞
The turnout increased.
It is the biggest vote ever for a President.
It is the biggest margin of victory ever for a President.
Don't allow them to talk down the scale of this victory for Catherine Connolly and the left.
It is genuinely historic.
The movement must continue.
Had coffee break with an old friend and colleague last night who told me about the harrowing few days he went through after his son had a cocaine blitz with some friends and ended up having a serious psychosis episode.
He was unrecognisable to his family he was in such a horrible state
After several failed attempts to get him to go to A&E the only option left was to get the guards to come to the house and take him in. The staff in Tallaght A&E were fantastic, even though seriously understaffed with only 4 doctors on duty, plus the compassion and understanding from @gardainfo was above and beyond duty which included keeping in touch with him through the night and into the following day.
Thankfully he's on the mend now and has learned a serious lifes lesson. Gardaí get enough bad press on here so as per usual there's two sides as to what goes on and what they have to deal with
Israel has banned any of the Palestinian hostages being released today, or their families, from speaking to the media.
Their voices or pictures of their torture to be hidden from the world.
If they do they'll murder them.
This isn't a peace deal - it's further dehumanisation and oppression.
Free Palestine
Of this, nearly €20m will go to Greyhound racing....Compare that with the mere €11.5 allocated for Domestic and Gender Based Violence initiatives in #Budget2026#GovtPriorities
