Was walking out towards the local bus stop today and a lad on a bike just hurled a "f**k you" at me as he cycled past. It's difficult to say how much Thursday's events have normalised such behaviour, but I really really hope enough is done to build bridges. Desperately.

I was supposed to be part of a graduation ceremony in Gaza today for students living with disabilities completing a course on storytelling. The University now lies in rubble, the students are uncontactable and at least one of my fellow lecturers has lost 9 members of his family.

Our letter asking Irish universities to cut ties with Israeli institutions has been published by the Irish Times and has the usual voices – Brigid Laffan, Eoin O’Malley etc – attacking it. Before responding, I want to thank the hundreds of academics who signed. Solidarity❤️1/9

It is great to see @EDII_MIC supports for sanctuary students being offered.

We are so proud of our colleague and friend @homayoonshirzad on his recent graduation from @SETUIreland with a Degree in Community Ed & Development. Feel free to wish him well here! He deserves it! 🎆🎉👏👏 https://t.co/YETEPbGgWa

What does Israel's occupation of Palestinians look like? This former Israeli soldier told @dena how the Israeli army controls every aspect of Palestinians' lives.

Was delighted to be invited as guest of honour at The Places of Sancturary Ambassadors event at Chester Beatty in Dublin Castle yesterday. So many individuals from migrant backgrounds working tirelessly for the betterment of their community & to make Ireland an inclusive society.

'The singer received a standing ovation as she dedicated the award, for I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, to “each and every member of Ireland’s refugee community”.' Rest in Peace Sinéad O'Connor.

So good to hear of these acts of welcome in Clare!

Maynooth IFUT branch committee was not approached for comment on this story, but we're highly concerned about many issues raised in relation to internal governance of Maynooth Uni. IFUT's position is that staff should elect staff members of oversight body.

Nadette reminding us that despite the rise of the far right the majority of Irish society welcome refugees #RefugeesWelcome #irc30years

“I am struck by the alarming level of tolerance to serious human rights violations against refugees, asylum seekers and migrants that has developed across Europe,” says Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, @Dunja_Mijatovic, in Lampedusa today.

Fair play!
