In Galway, I wrote about Ireland’s first state-authorized excavation of a Mother and Baby Home in Tuam…

I went to Berlin Art Week and wrote about an exhibition on fascism not as a relic of the past but as an active, contemporary force in global culture and politics:

I’ll be arriving in Budapest tomorrow for the Climate Arena conference as one of this year’s climate reporting fellows. If you’ll be there and want to grab a coffee, give me a shout! Also send recommendations of things to do in the city, as I’ll have some time either side 😊

'When he heard what The Irish Times saw and heard in Sderot, Prof Bartov said it reminded him “of what the Germans called in World War II ‘execution tourism’, ie touring and photographing (as souvenirs) one’s own atrocities”.'

Delighted to have been selected as a Climate Arena Fellow this year. What a group! 🗞️ Excited to work with everyone on our investigative journalism projects over the coming months, and to take part in the conference later this year 🌍 🌱

We've pulled together a starter pack of Irish Times journalists. We'll update this as more people join the conversation go.bsky.app/PTDxzT1

All 5 seats in Louth now filled after the 20th count.

Labour’s Ged Nash, FG Paula Butterly and FF Erin McGreehan have been elected.

That’s a wrap 👋🏼

Day three in Louth and this is turning out to be one of the longest counts in the country. 19th count is underway (again, as a recheck is currently happening for that count).

3 out of 5 seats yet to be filled.

Still no candidate elected in Louth on the 13th count. Down to 10 candidates in the running now.

This is a 5 seater with the above 3 likely to be elected.

The candidates (below) with strongest chance for other 2 seats could mean this constituency will elect a majority of women candidates

Erin McGreehan (FF) - 5,886
Paula Butterly (FG) - 5,856
Alison Comyn (FF) - 5,029

Counting has resumed in Louth, with the 10th count just in.

SF incumbent Ruairí Ó Murchú still taking the lead with 8,879 votes, followed by fellow SF Joanna Byrne with 8,319 votes, and Labour’s Ged Nash at 7,747.

No one has been elected yet as quota hasn’t been reached.

Louth is at 97% tallied now. It’s the only constituency where tallying isn’t completed yet.

In Louth, a 5-seater, it’s looking like at least 2 Sinn Féin, 1 Labour so far. Other two seats too close to call.

First count expected in the next couple of hours.

Louth, at 32% tallied now.
