Hard to know whether to feel angry, frustrated, helpless or just sad about this news. Last yr I spent a day with the Brown family and friends, remembering Sean Brown, murdered in 1997. The trauma inflicted by this decision will resonate for generations.
The British government should be ashamed today as they force through their flawed, immoral legacy bill. This bill protects those who committed heinous crimes and removes any path to truth and justice for victims and their families. The Tories should hang their heads in shame.

It was clear to anyone that was paying attention that this was coming - the derogation decision spelled it out in April 2022 & water quality continues to decline. It's a failure of leadership to not have supports in place to prepare farmers for this. https://t.co/noLUAY9hmC

Good to see the @PlanningReg setting the record straight. The fact is 90% of planning permissions are granted, only 7% of decisions are appealed and 0.3% end up in litigation

heartbreaking talking to Cathal Lenehan (the state’s biggest cabbage grower) who closed his farm because of price pressure and cost increases. Highlights how little we value veg and those that grow them. I also visit a community in Tipp that is supporting a local farm directly.
🌾 Buckle up, because #FoodMattersTV Ep. 4 is on @RTEOne at 8.30pm today! Tonight's theme is "Supporting Local" & it's an absolute cracker! Proudly supported by @Stop_Food_Waste and @Rethink_Ireland For more info & resources, visit https://t.co/OgYXm6jPS9

The figures below are based on universally accepted INMO trolley figures. INMO count trolley figures Monday to Friday. The campaigns calculations are based on an average of the weekly total to reflect Saturday and Sunday. #facethefacts #EnoughIsEnough #UHLincrisis

@TomClonan @cathmartingreen @EamonRyan sportsman with mobility issues not being accommodated by Ryanair despite providing paperwork well in advance and checking in 5 hours pre flight.
1. I cannot begin to describe the humiliation I have been subjected to by @Ryanair at @CorkAirport today. I’m a wheelchair user and denied my electric machine to go on the plane. Consequently No @LFC match tomorrow & withdrawal from @edgagolf tournament @formbyhall

Hi @AerLingus Could you help a wheelchair user stranded at @CorkAirport after being discriminated against by @Ryanair refusing to take my golf scooter on board even after all appropriate details were disclosed? I need to get to Liverpool for an @edgagolf tournament @formbyhall
