Privilege to address @OireachtasNews Foreign Affairs Committee w/ @Dochasnetwork colleagues today. My remarks focussed on how climate change is having a disproportionate impact on the African continent. Women farmers are bearing the brunt of this climate emergency.

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated

Technocratic centrism doesn't have an answer to the late capitalism anxieties of low and middle income voters.

Public services have to be able to try new things otherwise things can’t change for the better. Anyway, all publicity etc. Im listening to it now ‘Probation Service paid comedian more than €2,000 per episode to host podcast series’ irishtimes.com/crime-law/202…

I read A Problem from Hell while living and working in Cambodia. I found its clarion call for a reassertion of the rules based order inspiring as a young professional. It’s devastating to see where we are now in terms of a “responsibility to protect”.

Taking back control…to poison bees. ‘Neonicotinoids are banned in the EU because they are toxic to bees but have been authorised for use every year in the UK since 2021.’
Depressing news that Govt may approve bee-killing pesticide despite election promise to ban it - & outrageous that British Sugar has applied to use neonics for 5th year, despite industry commitment to end reliance in 2023. Govt must act to protect bees 🐝 theguardian.com/environment/…

The real scandal here is that Victoria Starmer is four years older than me but looks ten years younger!

Having a daughter is radicalising me as a hardcore feminist.

A wash bag. In an all girls school. Not in a Jane Austen novel. In my daughter’s school in 2024.

Who needs enemies when your friends are stagnating wages, crippling childcare costs, unaffordable rents and untrainable property prices.
James Cleverly: "We need to show young people that free markets, not planned economies, are their friends. We need to turn them into capitalists."

I missed out on a third level course on random selection. At the time, it was disappointing. But 27 years later (gulp!) my lasting and overriding sentiment is absolute gratitude that my father didn’t give an interview to the Irish Time about about it. irishtimes.com/ireland/educa…
