Possible signs of progress at Killarney National Park?
This is the Derrycunnihy area of the Park which is being targeted for deer culling and where there are signs of a positive response from the vegetation. Good news...

This government is choosing to make us complicit.
We need full sanctions on the genocidal state of Israel.
That's why we've introduced a bill to do just that.
We need full #BDS.
Instead of that, the government won't even pass the minimal demands of the Occupied Territories Bill.

Israel has violated the “ceasefire” nearly 500 times in 44 days, killing 342 civilians. On October 29th alone the IOF killed 109 Palestinians, including 52 children.
Where is the statement from our Minister, or anyone in Government, condemning this ongoing genocide?

Conor Pope argues that an air-travel tax would be unfair.
We would like to remind him that the vast majority of people on Earth will never take a flight. It is a wealthy minority (read: us) who pollute, while others around the world bear the consequences.
So we ask: is that fair, Conor?

Our food system is completely broken.
We could grow these ourselves, but instead, we ship them 18,000 km.
If we can’t grow and eat what’s in season here, how can we talk about food security?

John FitzGerald's @irishtimes.com article today grossly misrepresents scientists, science & economics
–No, scientists do not say "eliminate all cattle from our fields" [our?]
–Sci critiqued CCAC "climate neutrality" test
–CCAC's key scenarios also show deep methane cuts
– 🇮🇪 dairy is NOT "efficient"

"Because the agricultural sector makes almost nothing from beef, while milk is very profitable, such a change would not greatly affect farm incomes."

For the first time since 2006 the state has admitted it allowed munitions – onboard a US war plane authorised by Simon Harris to land at Shannon Airport – to travel through Irish territory on their way to Israel
Darragh O’Brien granted the exemption.
