@AerLingus customer support is shocking. Was told via email “While in this case, the price subsequently became lower, it is more common that fares rise the closer one gets to departure” and was offered no apology or help whatsoever

[Méabh @meabhirl]

@AerLingus I have submitted a case on this 9579019. It is really sad that during these challenging times you allow this to happen... My mother is retired Aer Lingus staff, and I have always been loyal to you but will tell this tale to many and reconsider booking with you again

Imagine living in a country where Gov’t funding for protection of all wild birds is €16,000 p.a., while it pumps over 1,000 x more (€19.2m) into... greyhound racing.

That country is Ireland.

“Countries pouring money into fossil fuels to fight recession”.

So this is what our leaders mean when they talk about a so-called “green recovery” and “listening to the children”.
No one is coming to our rescue.
It’s up to us.
We’re on our own.

Ban fur farming in Ireland - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/M8MOeGCa95 via @Change I only found out that there are still 3 majors mink fur farms in Ireland killing approximately 150,000 animals a year 😭

Thank you @JOEdotie for making this film - Ireland has not escaped the global downgrading of nature but we have a golden moment to #rewild our country

Excellent tread on fast fashion 👏 if you have 5 minutes to read something today, let it be this!

[Councillor Carolyn Moore @carolynmoore_ie]

So I’ve been seeing a lot of people on here conflating cheap clothes and fast fashion over the last few days, and some pretty crazy conjecture about the objectives of the Waste Action Plan that simply aren’t backed up by a reading of the document. THREAD.

Watched @MorganSpurlock’s ‘Super Size Me 2’ last night. Hilarious and brutal exposure of industrial chicken farming in the U.S and how it is not only crual for the animals, but to the farmers too! #MustWatch #HolyChicken

On the second day of occupying the oldest Danish oil rig, the activists are doing well and today they rolled out a banner on the helipad of the oil rig.

#StormEllen won’t last as long as the pandemic but it is set to cause some serious damage 😫 #StaySafe

[Cathal Nolan @nolan_cathal]

#StormEllen could well become the strongest and most economically costly storm to strike Ireland since Hurricane Charley struck Ireland in August of 1987. Severe winds of over 180-200 km/h are indicated on this evenings ECMWF weather model.
