    I have contacted the Taoiseach and Simon Coveney’’s offices to call for the expulsion of the Ambassador of Israel in protest against the blatant murder of peaceful protesters. I am asking all those who share this view to contact the Irish gov direct-make your voice heard.

    More SF members were assassinated during the conflict than other parties put together. Yet Fionnuala O’Connor can’t mention even one in this article. I’m not sure if I’m more angry or sickened. But it tells me more about the author.

    I think the EU should insist Britain commit to "exclusively peaceful and democratic means" before they can join negotiations on Brexit 😡
