I see anti-choicers talking of a conspiracy to introduce abortion ‘up to birth’ (note loaded term). Late abortion is ALREADY legal in Ireland to save the woman’s life. It was even meant to exist under the 8th amendment. Once again they minimise women’s lives. #abortion

1967: Chaim Herzog boasts about his decision to destroy 125 Palestinian homes in Jerusalem that housed thousands of residents.
He describes the Palestinian neighbourhood as "a toilet" & ordered bulldozers to flatten houses in the Mughrabi Quarter while families were inside

Could the establishment make it any clearer who they want as next President. ‘Connolly’ surname used but its first names for ‘Heather’ who they are at pains to stress is gaining. It’s politer than #SmearTheBejasus I suppose.

#PepperSpray, batons, riot gear. Incredible photos taken by Cian, young activist, at Dublin Port today. Why are @gardainfo tooling up & brutalising peaceful Palestine solidarity protest? 2 women pepper sprayed tell me that even after three showers, their skin is stinging.

The trafficking of fishers from Indonesia into Ireland to work on Irish flagged fishing vessels has been ongoing over the last year. Two of these victims have so far been admitted by the Garda into the referral mechanism for human trafficking. A couple more may be referred to 1/
