I've seen this described in my timeline as "exquisite", and it is. It deserves massive acclaim.
I hope it crosses the radars of John Collison, our Taoiseach and our Tánaiste.

Loyalists topping a giant bonfire with effigies of refugees in a boat in Northern Ireland is yet another illustration of how deep, putrid racism can endure for centuries within societies whose origins are colonial.
Whole identities are built on being superior to others.

The Srebrenica genocide is one of the darkest pages of European history.
In July 1995, 30 years ago, thousands of men and boys were murdered solely because of their ethnicity and religion.
Let us remember and learn from it.

Great to meet residents in Midleton this morning. I really enjoyed canvassing this part of the town in the run up to the election & it was lovely to encounter some of the same people again.
Not a lot of concerns raised today but I residents know where we are for support in the months & years ahead.
