That seemed to go as well as it possibly could. Serious kudos to Micheal Martin for making his way through the Trump minefield and carrying the whole thing off. And the travelling Irish journalists can definitely hold their heads up. Serious EU belting though.

Just three women in the new cabinet. A sorry state of affairs for 2025.

It’s the time of year for reflection and you truly won’t get much better than this. An incredible conversation here between Roisin Ingle & ⁦@kathysheridanIT⁩. Do yourself a favour and have a listen.

Utterly compelling reporting here from @paraicobrien. A report that encompasses so many of the unspeakable horrors of the Assad regime. A Syrian mass grave with at least 150,000 buried. ā€˜Once they had to call the fire brigade because 100 bodies were frozen together.’.

Such very sad news. Despite everything she went through (and it was a lot) Clodagh, who I knew personally, was tireless in her efforts to alert other people under 50 of the increasing risk of bowel cancer. An incredible patient advocate. My sympathies to her family.
