“Ireland is now the only country in the entire world that invests public money in a greyhound racing industry that is so barbaric it has virtually disappeared everywhere else.” Such a great piece by

@RpsAgainstTrump Looking in from abroad it is so sad to see what is happening there.

Never mind a bigger printer… I’ll need a bigger office! 😅 Huge thanks to everyone who’s ordered the Rory & Shane print already — shipping ASAP! You can order yours here 👉 https://t.co/sj5r7ezXrF #RyderCup2025 #ShaneLowry #RoryMcIlroy #RyderCup #Golf

We’re going to need a bigger printer! Shane & Rory just broke all my sales records—can’t keep up! #RyderCup2025 #ShaneLowry #RoryMcIlroy #RyderCup

[Niall O'Loughlin Artist @nialloloughlin]

Couldn’t resist drawing Rory McIlroy after that Ryder Cup win — pity the abuse overshadows the golf. As always, a reshare or follow goes a long way, I don’t get much else out of doing these!🥰

The EU disability employment gap is growing while billions fund sheltered workshops that rarely lead to real jobs & breach the UN CRPD 💸

ENIL calls for EU reform.

@RpsAgainstTrump Looking in from outside, it is so sad to see what is happening in the USA. Just when it seems it isn’t going to get any more toxic and bizarre 😕

White tailed eagles officially now classed as being successfully reintroduced to Ireland. 150 established birds now in the country. Amazing news!

Here’s female B released in 2020 on Lough Derg.

[Greyhound Action Ireland @ActionGrey1]

41% of the racing greyhounds born in 2021 still on the island of lreland, are dead/unaccounted for. The oldest of those dogs would be 4.5! Nothing has changed since the Preferred Results Report's findings were exposed in 2019. Meanwhile, public funding has increased year on year!

I first flew in 1986. On that flight i was dropped injuring myself & my wheelchair was broken. The last time I flew I was dropped, breaking my leg & my wheelchair was broken too. I decided to stop flying at that point, shrinking my world & career. #RightsOnFlights

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

I'm back in court today fighting the legality of overgrazing on Dartmoor .

0.1% of protected sites across the park are in favourable environmental condition , yet we still spend millions in taxpayer cash propping up loss-making , destructive sheep farming .

It has to change .

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

“There’s a longstanding practice in UK politics to force disabled people to fight for basic rights – a kind of gladiatorial scrap in which the Colosseum is replaced by the set of Good Morning Britain.”

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

“When the political and media class wish to leave disabled people hungry and dirty, the disabled community must explain why we should be allowed to eat and be clean.”
