Wealthy countries, including Ireland, are failing to follow through on crucial UN climate agreements. Writing in @thejournal_ie today on why communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis are the ones paying the price jrnl.ie/6112173

‘What we really need to see from developed countries, including Ireland, in Week 2 is a renewed commitment to provide much needed climate finance’. On the line from Belém, @r_fitzpatrick92 updated @mcculld on Week 1 of #COP30 and what needs to happen by the summit’s end.

Dáil opposition united. ICJ & FA Ctte too. Time to act.
With a ‘ceasefire’ in place, Gaza will slip out of news coverage & political focus. The worst thing we could do now would be to back away from our commitments.
Over to you @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD #PassTheOTB 🇵🇸

🚨Ireland’s Business Committee has concluded that the European Commission’s tearing apart of crucial corporate accountability laws will fail to protect workers & communities. It raises major concerns about unchecked corporate abuse. Their report is below 👇opac.oireachtas.ie/Data/Libr…

This is the US group who provide the “expert legal analysis” on the OTB covered in today’s Irish Times. Palestine is not occupied, the settlements are Israel, these are just “Israeli goods”. The lawyer has represented Trump Jr & organised crime cases. “Expert legal analysis”.

We are concerned about proposed legislation in Ireland that would boycott certain Israeli goods, and have submitted a memorandum on the impact of such legislation on American companies and individuals. Read our letter and memorandum here:

Ah, yes, child labour is such awful red tape....

Interesting to see @labour and @sinnfeinireland vote to keep EU red tape on small Irish businesses.
While Trump slaps tariffs, they’re blocking the practical reforms we need to stay competitive.
They chose ideology. I chose to back Irish businesses and jobs.

The 🇪🇺 Commission’s Omnibus Proposal risks watering down critical human rights & environmental protections for victims of corporate abuse.
On #SocialJusticeDay, we ask that @EUCssrMcGrath takes a stand against dangerous deregulation & puts people & planet first.

It's just not accurate to say the Dáil was constitutionally obliged to elect a Taoiseach today. Micheál Martin is knowingly disseminating an untruth in that regard. As he knows well, the Dáil failed to elect a Taoiseach on three occasions after the 2016 GE. That might not be

.@EUCssrMcGrath was clear in his confirmation hearing about his commitment to swift implementation of the #CSDDD
Now @vonderleyen risks undoing that promise.

Short 🧵 on Ireland's declaration of intervention in South Africa v. Israel.
7 Jan 2025
1. The passages below will get the most attention.
Paras 25-26 should be uncontroversial. Courts *infer* specific intent from knowledge and recklessness all the time.
Paras 29-30 go further, saying that specific intent *includes* knowledge of foreseeable consequences.

More poorly informed takes on climate from @RestIsPolitics
Rory Stewart says climate finance for developing countries is "completely the wrong way" to "stop global warming".
Instead G20 should have met for a couple more days to "try to crack this".
A few problems with this...

The statement issued by the French Foreign Ministry today saying that certain leaders could have immunity from the ICC arrest warrants is a big shame and constitutes a stark violation of France’s legal obligations under the Rome Statute.
