People have the right to protest and to have concerns but please don’t tar everyone with the same brush there’s bad people from all sides and religions. Last night was horrific we need more vetting of people coming into the country but not everyone is bad and don’t deserve hate
The Embassy of Ukraine to Ireland expresses its serious concern regarding the continued export of alumina from Ireland to the Russian Federation.
According to a trade data, this troubling trade flow has increased significantly, with exports rising from €196 million in 2021 to €318 million in 2025, positioning the Russian Federation as the largest destination for Irish alumina exports and surpassing traditional European partners. This represents the highest level of exports to Russia since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
These figures raise serious concerns, as alumina remains a critical raw material for the production of aluminium, which is extensively used by Russia’s military-industrial complex. Aluminium is used in the manufacture of a wide range of Russian military systems, including Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles, as well as Shahed-136/Geran-2 attacks unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The devastating consequences of Russia’s military production continue to be felt daily by the people of Ukraine. Over the past week alone, the Russian Federation has launched more than 2,900 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and more than 150 missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and communities. Every activity may contribute to sustaining Russia’s industrial and military capacity warrants careful examination.
The Embassy takes note of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the relevant Irish authorities and welcomes the Irish Government’s commitment to establishing all relevant facts. We look forward to the timely conclusion of this process and to any measures deemed necessary on the basis of its findings.
Ukraine fully recognises the importance of protecting jobs, communities, and industrial competitiveness in Ireland and across the European Union. At the same time, Russia’s continued war of aggression requires constant vigilance to ensure that commercial activities do not directly or indirectly contribute to sustaining the military capabilities of a state engaged in a brutal and unprovoked war against a sovereign European nation.
Ukraine highly values its strong partnership with Ireland and deeply appreciates the steadfast support and solidarity demonstrated by the Irish Government and the Irish people since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We count on Ireland’s continued leadership in supporting Ukraine, strengthening the effectiveness of international sanctions, and ensuring that European resources, technologies, and supply chains cannot be exploited to sustain Russia’s war machine.
The Embassy of Ukraine remains committed to constructive engagement with Irish partners on this important issue in the shared interests of European security, international law, and accountability.
I'm sorry, call me a prick, but I wont stop talking about Arsenal sacking their kit manager of over a decade for sharing pro-palestine posts, only to then go hire an Israeli sponsor. Just wrong.

@iamPB@wreck_it_derek Britain doesn’t do history. Only propaganda. The propaganda is so good that the vast majority of it’s citizens don’t even recognise it for what it is.
In Gaza, all men of military age were deemed legitimate targets.
“And military age is really open to interpretation,” said Jonathan.
“It could be from 16 to 60 or even younger...Most of the people that my unit killed were not armed.”
Ireland should refuse to play Israel. You don’t share a pitch with a genocidal state and call it sport. Forfeit the 6 points. Rally the world. Embarrass UEFA.
@BladeoftheS Wind does not need to be replaced every 25 years. That’s the guarantee the turbine companies give for the operating life buts its actual life expectancy is much more. How much more we don’t know yet because we haven’t got that far yet.
If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.
And we’d never hear the end of it.
Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.
Israel tied up children and babies, KILLED them, then buried them in mass graves.
A French aid worker: “We found a mass grave in Gaza containing 300 bodies. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs
EuroMedHR: Inside the mass graves, they found children & babies with their hands bound with zip ties
This photo is from 2 mass graves discovered at Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, in April During the genocide, the EuroMedHR documented over 130 mass graves of victims of the Israeli genocide
I’m instructed by @elsclegal to represent Mark Bonnick, who’s suing @Arsenal.
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza rages, ordinary people must be free to speak out against the racist ideology of Zionism.
Arsenal messed up. They should give him his job back.

🇪🇸SPAIN'S IRENE MONTERO GOES OFF ON EU VICE-PRESIDENT KALLAS: “Israel has been for 24 hours Kidnapping European Citizens And You’re SMILING?!”
“What would you do if it were Iran? If it were Russia?
But since it is ISRAEL, you smile and look the other way.”
“Shame on you”
