In int. law - the law of armed conflict - there is no hierarchy in pain and suffering

These rules exist to help preserve humanity in the darkest moments, and they desperately need to be followed today

They are and should remain our compass to ensure that we put humanity first

Now there’s a nice headline.

“Ireland ranked third-most peaceful country in the world” https://t.co/Ooz9tOf80Z

[Ireland at UN @IrishMissionUN]

The #UNSC has a responsibility to act in the face of war.

Russia's veto prevented us from doing so today.

Ambassador Kelly🇮🇪 made Ireland's views clear - we deeply regret this outcome, but it will not deter efforts to hold #Russia accountable for its actions in #Ukraine.

A sweet reminder from the dictionary: the word ‘daisy’ was originally ‘day’s eye’, because the flower opens its petals at dawn to reveal its sunny central disc, and closes them again at dusk.

[The Irish at War @irelandbattles]

#OnThisDay 1918 Sinn Féin had a landslide victory winning 73 of 105 Irish seats in the election. Constance Markievicz was the first woman elected to Westminster. Sinn Féin abstained & established Dáil Éireann on the same day the War of Independence began.

Word of the day is ‘struthious’ (18th-century): resembling an ostrich; avoiding reality or pretending it doesn’t exist.

[Irish Foreign Ministry @dfatirl]

As we approach the 50 year anniversary of Ireland joining the European institutions, Min @ThomasByrneTD DG Maeve Collins and Ambassador Tom Hanney visited the @EU_Commission archives to view some of the key 🇮🇪 accession papers.

[EU Commission in Ireland @eurireland]

November figures from @ECDC_EU show clear link between higher #Covid19 vaccination rates and lower rates of deaths.

Ireland🇮🇪 with 93% of adults vaccinated against Covid19 (highest in the EU) also has one of the lowest death rates from the disease in the EU👇

A reminder of the word ‘nod-crafty’ (17th century): given to nodding the head with an air of great wisdom when you actually don’t have a clue/tuned out a while ago.
