A great activist wears a great jersey from a great club #bohs. www.rte.ie/lifestyle/li...

Over the bank holiday weekend and ongoing Israeli atrocities in Gaza, Irish state authorities assisted two flights through illegally carrying F-35 combat jet parts to an Israel Defense Forces airbase through Irish territory. www.ontheditch.com/two-more-ill...

Micheál Martin today called this an 'alleged draft report' There's nothing alleged about it An NHS consultant conducted it and concluded that 80 percent of particular surgeries on children were unnecessary in one Dublin hospital Here it is. In full www.ontheditch.com/not-for-disc...

The obliteration of natural, species-rich grasslands via agri-intensification is the main cause in a crash of insects like butterflies, some species >80% in just 15 years. The maddening thing is we KNOW the solutions. Powerful writing by @miseanja.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/ou...

Until we, ie society, start offering farmers and other landowners the possibility of decent livelihoods through rewilding + High Nature Value farming, the haemorrhage of nature WILL NOT STOP

Watching swathes of butterflies in this field today. awash with Lady's smock & Dandelions. An absolute joy.

Israel’s Systematic Destruction of Life Essentials in Gaza Has Forced Palestinians into a Hunt for Survival.. Amid a total siege and massive bombing, people in Gaza are on the brink of starvation as they search for food, water, and basic goods www.dropsitenews.com/p/total-sieg... @dropsitenews.com

Yes, you are on a watchlist. Yes, you are in a databank. We all are. Yes, it’s a risk. No, silence won’t save you.

Lost in the trade war tumult: Gaza is a 'killing field', says UN chief, as agencies urge world to act on Israel's blockade

Imagine being on his side and thinking you’re the good guys.

Watched Four Mothers last night, and this review really captures it... highly recommend this fantastic Irish film. #FourMothers #IrishFilm @screenireland.bsky.social www.hotpress.com/film-tv/film...

Burning destroys floral diversity, and kills off any young trees that somehow managed to gain height despite the sheep. Only molinia grass comes back. And that's without even touching on all the animal life wiped out.

I've just bought in a backup supply of about 75kg of assorted dry pulses + rice. The worst outcome? I won't need to get any more of these things for quite a while. All the indications are we're heading into highly unstable times, with a food system totally unfit to cope. #SafeNotSorry

"Come to West Cork, for its untouched, pristine beauty." Land incinerated on the Mizen Peninsula, any living thing unable to escape roasted alive. This is done for sheep, whose grazing is almost as bad as fire. Ireland is among THE most nature-wrecked places on Earth, subsidised by YOUR taxes.

The dire wolf has NOT been brought back from extinction Colossal Biosciences just edited a few genes in a gray wolf to make it superficially look like a dire wolf It has repeatedly made fraudulent deextinction claims about other species to raise investor money and the media falls for it EVERY TIME

Everyday I think about the fact that iceland jailed the people responsible for their financial crisis

Leadership should work for the people. Currently the government is overly concerned with pleasing industry lobbyists and developers. Today's survey from the Economic and Social Research Institute: People are pretty united when it comes to having a future #speirgorm www.esri.ie/news/farmers...

Ash and Goat Willow flowers are stunning when you stop and take the time to appreciate them.

There are hills and hollows all around Ireland where you feel that nature would come roaring back if given half a chance.

Its great to see Bord na Móna highlighting the immense nature restoration potential of the public lands they manage but its concerning that they haven't once committed to protecting the bogs that are supporting Irelands first Common Cranes in 300 yrs. www.bnm.ie/gone-for-300...

"Walk way destroyed"...in most countries the headline would be that someone intentionally set a National Park on fire. I've been fortunate to visit many national parks around the world & I've yet to visit a society that holds its National Parks in as low a regard as Ireland.

"Farmers had to drive up output because of declining margins - it was a race to the bottom, dictated by policymakers, not farmers. In this era of nature restoration, we must also acknowledge that the era of cheap food is over" I agree with ICSA on this! www.waterford-news.ie/life/farmers...

Great to see ESRI calling out Teagasc and the politicisation of climate science in Irish farming. m.independent.ie/irish-news/r...

More research that shows that "Biodiversity is usually favoured by ecological restoration, especially through natural regeneration" of forests. Yet, policies in Ireland remain overwhelmingly based on planting trees. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Rewilding in Westmeath! Many landowners now want to turn forests from non-native monoculture (left) into diverse native (right). Attitudes are shifting, but is public policy shifting with them?

Teagasc called out by State think-tank for "undisclosed conflicts of interest" in promoting the meat industry www.independent.ie/irish-news/r...

Sharing this twice today, it is so on point: "[...] ensure that investments today do not compromise tomorrow’s climate and energy security." HD - LNG does not provide energy security for us - It provides profits to US fossil and data companies #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

For €500 million, you could’ve built a LUAS for Cork but instead we get more cars and more congestion.

Correct. #USMilitaryOutOfShannon
