🍺Ever heard of the Irish Goodbye? 🇮🇪

It is when you leave a party or pub without saying goodbye to anyone.

No hugs. No “one more for the road.” No taxi arguments.
Just finish your drink… grab your coat… and vanish into the night.
We have all done it 😅😂🇮🇪☘️

2 great butters that both come from the same factory.
1 costs more. 1 costs less.

Yet farmers are being paid below the cost of production.

Hit 👍 & share if you think farmers deserve a fair price.

All charges have been dropped against Kneecap’s Mo Chara.

I strongly welcome this decision.

These charges were part of a calculated attempt to silence those who stand up and speak out against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Kneecap have used their platform on stages across the world to expose this genocide, and it is the responsibility of all of us to continue speaking out and standing against injustice in Palestine.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I have no words anymore.

States. Must. Intervene.

This isn’t genius, it’s leadership.

1. Impose an arms embargo and cut trade.
2. Break the blockade with your humanitarian navies.
3. Send a protective presence to Palestine to ensure Israel dismantles its occupation NOW.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🇩🇪 Fully aware this is beyond my UN remit. BUT.

As a conscientious European I ask: will anyone confront Germany for its POLICE’s shameful, sustained, and widespread violence that, after a year, reveals an institutionalized descent into repression?

While too many Germans remain, once again, silent in front of their state's abuses, will the EU and the UN act?

And as Europeans, have we truly learnt anything from history, or only memorised it?

Israel’s Defense Minister has once again threatened unlawful force against civilians, attempting to justify violence with baseless smears. We will not be intimidated.

The 'Madleen' is a peaceful civilian vessel, unarmed and sailing in international waters with humanitarian aid and human rights defenders. This mission is independent, guided only by conscience and solidarity with Gaza.

We are currently about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Earlier signal jamming briefly disrupted our location, but our tracker is functioning again. We remain calm and prepared in the face of possible Israeli aggression.

We call on world governments to demand Israel stand down. It has no right to obstruct our mission or enforce its illegal and brutal blockade.

🥤😵‍💫 Children should avoid drinking slushies with glycerol as experts warn of health risk

A new study published in the British Medical Journal’s Archives of Disease in Childhood has shown that these brightly coloured drinks can cause "glycerol intoxication syndrome" in children under eight, a condition that causes headaches, nausea, and vomiting, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness and low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia).

The researchers from UCD School Of Medicine and Children's Mental Health Ireland Temple Street have urged parents not to give under-eights the icy drinks after examining the cases of 21 children across Britain and Ireland who became sick soon after drinking.

"Clinicians and parents should be alert to the phenomenon, and public health bodies should ensure clear messaging regarding the fact that younger children, especially those under eight years of age, should avoid slush ice drinks containing glycerol," the study states.

The review team at University College Dublin was led by consultant metabolic paediatrician Professor Ellen Crushell, with Dr Shona Brothwell, Paediatric Metabolic Specialist Registrar at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Patricia Fitzsimons, Chief Medical Scientist at CHI’s National Metabolic Laboratory.

All but one of the cases looked at in the study took place between 2018 and 2024, with the children aged between two and almost seven years old. In each case examined, the child became acutely unwell with a series of shared symptoms soon after drinking a slushie.

These symptoms included headaches, nausea, and vomiting, followed by reduced consciousness' referred to as drowsiness or coma, and very low blood sugar levels with high lactic acid levels, with glycerol being found in their urine.

A naturally occurring alcohol and sugar substitute and an EU-approved additive, glycerol helps slushies maintain their texture by preventing liquid from freezing solid.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) advises parents to limit young children’s consumption of slushies containing glycerol due to potentially negative side effects, including headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Older children and adults should have no more than one a day.

However, such guidance could go further, according to Professor Crushell, who said there may be a spectrum of milder illnesses in young children being caused by icy drinks containing glycerol.
