This is the moment to utterly condemn forced displacement of 1.1m Gazans.
This is the moment to condemn cutting off food, fuel and water in Gaza.
This is the moment to condemn bombing of civilian infrastructure...
... as you did in Ukraine.
@LeoVaradkar
@MichealMartinTD
This is the moment for unity.
This is the moment to join forces against terror.
And Israel can count on the EU ↓

Now you no longer need to worry about how to make, or where to get, a face mask. Here is a wonderful initiative by an Irish designer, Aideen Bodkin, who is selling beautiful masks to benefit Trócaire and other charities.

The Government's decision to continue to invest in
@Irish_Aid
is very welcome.
At a time when other countries are looking inwardly, it should be a source of pride that Ireland continues to look to play a positive role in the world.

Ireland ranked worst in Europe for tackling climate action for second year in a row: this is simply shameful. Our response as a nation needs to be robust, rapid and socially just.

Using the label of terrorism against human rights organisations is a common tool in authoritarian regimes' response to critique of violations of the rights of civilians. This move to silence civil society in the occupied Palestinian Territories must be stopped.
