Minister for Environment Darragh O'Brien is attempting to rush through approval for a €900 million LNG reserve at the cost of the taxpayer & the planet.
The proposed legislation would give the Minister full responsibility for the planning application & completely change the normal planning process.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Pope Leo ally Cardinal Tobin of New Jersey urged Catholics to lobby to defund ICE/DHS as "lawless organization" on a Zoom call with hundreds on Sunday night. Explicitly compares the moral necessity of resistance now to resistance against fascism.🧵1/

Seán Farrell is in the West Bank seeing how Israeli settlers are using ever-increasing violence and intimidation to force Palestinian people off their land. This is what illegal occupation looks like.
We must oppose this occupation and keep supporting these communities in their fight for justice.
