Look at the world around you. It may seem like an immovable place. It's not, with the slightest push - in just the right place - it can be tipped. - Malcolm Gladwell #RebootPod iTunes: itunes.apple.com/ie/podcast/… SC: soundcloud.com/ebootepublic/… Acast: acast.com/rebootrepublic

They deliberately set out to break #whistlblowers in #ireland. From consultants to prison officers to honest bankers, all different sectors using protected disclosures none of which are ever resolved. In EU terms, that’s ’No effective remedy’.
Sometimes this country disgusts me. @NoelMcgree is a brave and honourable man. He stood up and did what was right and at every level, even as far as the Taoiseach’s office, he was destroyed.

Thanks again to Niall for talking with us
Even the anti-immigrant far right needs to wake up to the fact that our trade policies and extractive deals are driving people to leave their homes and migrate. Masterclass by Dr Niall Conroy on his lived experience in Sierra Leone. Pls listen/watch/share podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcas…

Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza is so morally bankrupt that the accused war criminal Netanyahu is now a member of it. I call on all States and all other actors not to recognize or cooperate with this criminal enterprise.
Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, will join Trump's Board of Peace. This was the worst case scenario when the UN Security Council authorized this travesty. Sickening.

20 homes empty for 20 years Disgraceful from Dunnes #VacantIreland #DerelictIreland
I took opportunity to mention this scandalous waste by @dunnesstores at the recent @OireachtasNews discussion on vacancy & dereliction, where @judesherry & me attended to make the case for urgently tackling #DerelictIreland & #VacantIreland so everyone can have a home in Ireland

Abdullah Al-Yazouri narrated the documentary ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Genocide.’ BBC pulled it because of his familial links to the Hamas govt. He joined us from Gaza to discuss. He’s not your average 15yr old. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcas…

If you aren’t sure what to get for the person who you really don’t like, but got in the Secret Santa, then a tortoise shack annual membership is for you. Nothing says ‘I passively aggressively hate you’ like a year of having to listen us talk nonsense patreon.com/tortoiseshack

This day last year was filled with joy and hope for the future. We were celebrating Remy’s birthday a couple days early because Harvey was finally going in to have his surgery for his scoliosis. We were so looking forward to the next chapter for him and for us as a family. He never should have had to wait like he did. He never should have had to spend a third of his life waiting for ‘urgent’ surgery. No child should ever be left in pain to deteriorate and expected to just accept it. These children’s biggest concern should be making Santa’s nice list, not their status on a surgery list. #JusticeForHarvey #NoChildWaiting

Our new minister for disability. I’m actually at a loss for words 😬
Our son is in your constituency @EmerHigginsTD I emailed you looking for support for an *independent* taskforce for children with Spina Bifida and scoliosis and you didn’t even reply. I questioned you about it on grafton street before the care referendum and you offered no support. Today, as we sat in the viewing gallery while our son was spoken about, you couldn’t even look up. I hope you get zero votes.
