I’m in Dublin now and I would like to thank the six members of the Dublin Civil Defence who were in Kraków on November 7 for their city break and who immediately rushed to help the victims of mass shooting. Friends, your extraordinary response saved many lives. You’re our heroes.

🇵🇱🇮🇪 O tym mało kto w Polsce mówi. Irlandzcy ratownicy pomagali rannym na krakowskim Rynku Sześcioro wolontariuszy dublińskiej Obrony Cywilnej przyleciało do Krakowa na krótki wypad, żeby zwiedzić miasto. W sobotę po południu byli w pobliżu Rynku Głównego, gdy padły pierwsze strzały. Jak opowiedział irlandzkiej telewizji RTÉ ich przełożony James McConnell, początkowo myśleli, że to fajerwerki, a gdy zrozumieli, co się dzieje, schowali się w bezpiecznym miejscu. Kiedy napastnik odjechał i uznali, że jest bezpiecznie, wrócili na Rynek i zaczęli pomagać poszkodowanym. Prowadzili resuscytację i tamowali krwotoki. W Irlandii to jedna z głównych historii o zamachu, a w polskich mediach próżno jej szukać. Szkoda, bo ci ludzie też zasługują, żebyśmy znali ich historię🙏

Travel on well you greatest of all time. What a wonderful musician and person.
RIP Donal Lunny. I was lucky to have met him a few times and to see him play live. I took this video in the @RTEArena studio on 29 Nov 2018. A great man.

Orla O’Donnell completely destroyed Jim O’Callaghan’s smear about solicitors targeting rape cases in the Central Criminal Court yesterday on @morningireland. It’s outrageous that the Minister is engaging in cynical tactics such as this instead of sitting down to negotiate.

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

Despite it’s rhetoric on Palestine, the Irish government is denying visas to Gazan students who’ve obtained scholarships to study in Irish universities. Today, I urged Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan to decide their appeals in time for it to matter to whether they can take up their offers.

"Carney saved the speech," one EPP lawmaker texts me. "Without the ‘guests’ in her speech, it was a long technocratic list of announcements. Many of which we know will never see the day of light. I haven't seen such a low energy speech since Barroso." euractiv.com/news/live-von-d…
