Not surprised FG sent some bozo who knows nothing about GP to #rtept. They don’t even have enough respect for GP to send out the minister @SimonHarrisTD or even junior minister @jimdalytd. #reversefempi

@ipinst @StLiechtenstein @EUCouncil @SpainMFA @Defensagob @mdcospedal @eu_eeas @VeteransBritain @lukeming @ger_mccann Peace & peacekeeping not mentioned at all in #PESCO notification. It does, however, have strong emphasis on military industrial spending. While this article looks at NATO & business concerns, might be good to also examine implications re neutrality, disarmament & peacebuilding?

In 2013 a well known journalist sat in my office in Leinster House and told me that he was afraid the Gardai would blow up his car because of his investigations into corruption. I thought he was deranged. I believe him now.

@EdwinaGuckian @WoodlandTrust @creedcnw @EamonRyan @DenisNaughten @lukeming Ireland not even close to complying with EU requirement for 30% broadleaf planting in current forestry prog. This study & it’s new info on absorption of solar radiation by conifers raises serious questions re Ireland’s efforts in climate change mitigation

So, let me get this straight...

We're bombing Syria, because Syria bombed Syria, to show Syria that Syria shouldn't bomb Syria.

Then, after we've bombed Syria for bombing Syria, we still won't accept Syrian refugees that are seeking refuge from the bombing.

Got it.

You reap what you sow.
If the 'boys' really respected women none of this would have happened. Core values don't change when no-one is watching.
