In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔

He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

Wrote about watching the incredible Russian documentary My Undesirable Friends - Part I: Last Air in Moscow with an audience in New York, where a record of the recent past that speaks to an American future was processed in the present.

More than 41,000 women in Ireland reported abuse by partners or ex-partners in 2024.

44 per cent of women said they found the gardaí response unhelpful when they sought support.

While there is a large focus on Tuam at the moment, we can't let #Bessborough or any other #MotherAndBabyHomes with hundreds of missing burials slip by either. We need investigations. Into Bessborough, Sean Ross Abbey, and more, then we do memorialisation.
