Culturally, historically, and politically, this is an ill-conceived notion, which, imo, @labour should have no part in. @ivanabacik @LaceyDermot @Cathal_McCann

"Plenty of private sector figures did what they could to destabilise it, too." Ain't that the truth! https://t.co/13Q6rrUiOm

Ireland is set to finish a major national infrastructure project on time – and on or even under budget.

Today's office for the launch of @publichealthie 'Championing Change' a Guide to Public Health Advocacy, which has been the focus for much of my professional time in 2025. Delighted with the final publication and looking forward to the discussion that emerges.

Had the great pleasure of getting to see this wonderful piece last week @SligoRaincoats, and I, too, would highly recommend it. It's both powerful and mesmerising. https://t.co/Ghf2DSOxRI

Susanne Colleary’s play features the most romantic depiction of expedition in any of Blue Raincoat’s plays about explorers

Looking forward to this talk next week, Nov 11 at 6.30pm (a reschedule from August). We'll be on Level 3 at The Lab, in the dlr LexIcon. This year, we've staged a public event every month since July, continuing our goal to restore & renew the lives & work of Lily & Elizabeth.

On the day that Sr Stan passed away, our government decides that Ireland’s official 'compassion' to those fleeing war would now be limited to 30 days: RTE news : State accommodation for Ukrainians capped at 30 days https://t.co/9jP5BiUU8N

A light of hope from the Netherlands - who knew campaigning on prioritising preventative health (amongst other issues) could be a vote winner! https://t.co/Axx2pWkrUr

Meet the progressive liberals who raced past other mainstream parties in the Netherlands.

Great reporting by @AilbheConneely - it's unconscionable that thugs are allowed to continue to retraumatise women and children who are fleeing war.
RTÉ News was given permission to enter Citywest Hotel to speak to some of the 1,200 residents in the wake of a series of protests outside the facility https://t.co/FNZIbwx2hS

While 'patriots' in balaclavas with Google Translate slogans terrorise women and retraumatise children in CityWest, this reality is why people from Ukraine continue to seek our sanctuary and why we must protect them in our communities: https://t.co/z8yYG96F4L

The drone and missile attacks on Ukraine came as the US president put on hold his plans for an imminent summit in Budapest.

Strong investigative reporting @thejournal_ie highlighting the challenges progressive advocacy faces in a rapidly changing world increasingly hostile to public health advances. Inside the alcohol industry’s global campaign to delay Ireland’s labelling:

New documents reveal an organised effort by alcohol giants to pressure the Irish government into delaying landmark cancer warnings.

At a time when 'celebrity' candidates and populist rhetoric are offered as two-sides of shallow political 'thinking', it's great to see someone: @SDLPlive - seriously reflecting on the political future of our island. https://t.co/XZ3RhhWDXY

A little lower than the original 10% threshold determined within the adoption of the 1937 constitution. #justsaying

The process of nomination, in this incidence, requires that a prospective candidate gathers the support of only 8.5% (20 of 234) of sitting Oireachtas members. A very modest threshold by any representative democratic standard.
🗣️ "Rarely has the political consensus seemed more oppressive or detached," Maria Steen has fallen short in her bid to enter the presidential election. The independent hopeful was left without just two names from TDs and senators needed to get onto the ballot. #VMNews

What have we become? Just an appalling situation. Multiple bomb threats made against Tánaiste Simon Harris’s home, armed gardaí at scene
thejournal.ie
The threats made against Harris and his family today follow two other reported threats made against members of the Tánaiste’s family online.
