Do you want to know what glyphosate/Roundup does to us, and our farm animals? How much of it is in our food and our bodies, and how to get it out? Come to @Skibbereen on the 8th Sept and meet @GMOSeralini and the rest of the panel of international speakers. Please retweet.

🌿 Great to see farmers & environmentalists come together in Conna last night for a powerful discussion on water quality & protecting nature.

The @bride_project shows how farming with nature can work — it’s time this became the norm across Ireland.

Minister Carroll MacNeill’s statement earlier should be seen for the desperate distraction attempt it is.

Those of us supporting Catherine’s bid for the presidency refuse to be distracted by baseless attacks from a Fine Gael party that is clearly lashing out and in panic mode.

Do not adjust your set. That’s right, there’s a storm system with HURRICANE wind speeds and features barrelling towards FRANCE and GERMANY.

And no, nothing like this has ever been recorded.

I did a nitrate test on drinking water in Dungarvan, County Waterford this morning. Elevated levels of nitrates were detected at the tap. This is common in many areas across Ireland South.

@davidmcw They want a back door into the EU single market, using the peace process in NI as leverage

Totally disingenuous

The children that are being diagnosed now and over the coming weeks will now have nowhere to go for early intervention.

There is a bumblebee in the porch pollinating my lemon.

I believe we will be on total lock down sooner rather than later. Every 5 days we delay is likely a doubling of infected, and will be a doubling of those needing the ICU beds we are so short of, in 3-4 weeks. Taoiseach-you must lock down immediately.

Q: How long does an elected representative need to read and understand documents before a vote?

A: According to the corporate policy group, 2 hours 🤔.

53 out of 54 elected representatives supported my motion that we’d be given 3 clear working days. WHAT HAPPENED? 🤷‍♀️

West Cork needs a progressive voice in the Dáil. We deserve better: better services, better housing and healthcare, more opportunities for people to live, work and grow in our beautiful constituency. #WestCork

Judge's decision last week to sanction plaintiff's lead attorney Aimee Wagstaff in @Bayer Monsanto Roundup cancer trial reportedly triggered flood of emails to Wagstaff from lawyers and others offering support and expressing outrage at the judge's action. https://t.co/54Omst0gvW
