@Adam_Allcroft I played the female equivalent, Camogie. Played without helmets and metal wrapped around the nurl head. Still have the battle scars👏😊

If somehow you missed the hurling today, sit back and watch this 7-min package. 82k in Croke Park. Incredible drama.

GAA President Jarlath Burns with a message more important than ever after the All-Ireland Final. “For those who are our diaspora, who left this country because of war and famine, whose ancestors had to leave…and we thank the country’s who took you in and gave you jobs” 👏👏

The REAL Reason US & UK Are Bombing Yemen @Lowkey0nline

So proud of Ireland’s Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh who didn’t hesitate to present the South African ICJ case against Israel today. “Look in the mirror and ask: where was I when Gaza was going through a genocide?”

Today's ICJ hearing was devastating. Horror after horror, laid out in plain sight for all to see. South Africa spoke for millions around the world desperate for this massacre to end — and put the UK & US government to shame for their deplorable silence, cowardice and complicity.

The ten dumbest things we're being asked to believe about Gaza: 1. That Israel had no idea what Hamas was up to prior to October 7, but ever since October 7 has known about every hospital, mosque, school, refugee camp and water tower that Hamas is hiding in. 2. That the blame for all of the deaths caused by Israeli weapons launched by Israel rests solely on Hamas. 3. That Hamas is using “human shields” — meaning Hamas bases are hidden amidst civilian populations — yet Israel is managing to kill thousands of civilians without doing any meaningful damage to Hamas. 4. That it would be perfectly fine to murder children by the thousands even if they were being used as “human shields” — as though resolving a hostage situation by mowing down thousands of child hostages would be regarded as reasonable and acceptable by the public if it happened in our own country. 5. That is is only by pure coincidence that Israel bombing “Hamas targets” in civilian infrastructure and residential buildings just so happens to look exactly the same as what you’d expect to see if Israel was simply bombing civilian infrastructure and residential buildings and lying about its reasons for doing so. 6. That satellite images of entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble in Gaza have been caused by “precision strikes” directed solely at Hamas and have been carried out with the greatest of care for human life, despite Israeli officials openly saying that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy” in this assault and that “Gaza will eventually turn into a city of tents; there will be no buildings.” 7. That this bombing campaign has anything to do with freeing Israeli hostages — as though the bombing campaign itself has not killed dozens of hostages, and as though anyone believes Israel would stop bombing Gaza after the hostages are returned. 8. That the only reason anyone could possibly oppose the detonation of thousands of bombs on an open air prison full of children would be if they had very strong and hateful opinions toward the members of the religion of Judaism. 9. That Hamas attacked Israel entirely out of the blue and completely unprovoked, solely because they are evil and hate Jews. 10. That Washington is powerless to stop this genocide that it is directly funding and supplying.

@Rubberbandits Congratulations. Been there with you from the get go. My weekly pick me up 😊💚

@HeathrowAirport Paramedic Dave, on his bike, was absolutely fabulous. Forever grateful 🙏

Enormous gratitude to the @AerLingus staff on board my flight yesterday. I had a bit of a medical episode on landing. Very grateful to cabin crew, especially Edel. She kept me calm until paramedics arrived. Eternally grateful for all your care and kindness.
