Know someone who is grieving? It’s important to be there for them in the early days but also in the weeks and months ahead. There is no time limit to grief. It takes the time it takes. #BeGriefAware #NGAW2025 @IrishHospice

You don’t need any particular skills to support someone who is grieving. You can ask them to meet for a walk, drop by for a cup of tea or offer practical help, such as preparing a meal. It can all go a long way. #BeGriefAware #NGAW2025 @IrishHospice

You are not a waste of space;
There is only one of you

Today, X has been full of people claiming that Ireland is antisemitic and that its recent statements and actions prove this. Israel's liberal newspaper disagrees.

Haaretz editorial
'These 2 moves by Ireland do not demonstrate antisemitism, but a diplomatic and moral stance that should be taken in full seriousness. Israel has been acting with a degree of violence and destruction in the Gaza Strip that long ago exceeded its security needs.'
