Coillte yday confirmed to me that they are selling off 39acres of public forest near Enniskerry for a paultry 250,000. This is a scandal. This is a public forest with a right of way, bronze age cooking pits and is part of our natural heritage. This privatisation must be stopped.

UNICEF is grateful for Ireland’s continued leadership in combatting famine and malnutrition globally.

Before the pandemic, 47 million children under 5 suffered from wasting—the most severe form of malnutrition, and 9m more children could suffer from acute malnutrition by 2022.

As we approach #Budget2022 , Ask #2 calls on the Irish Government to act #NowMoreThanEver and provide additional and targeted financing for climate change mitigation and adaptation to support developing countries.

US exceptionalism is pontificating about 'the majesty of American democracy' as Biden puts it, despite acting to overthrow governments in Latin America 40 times over the last century, many of them democratically elected.

How can there be so little security at this building, on this day, for this process? #TrumpCoupAttempt
