That's The Hague on the phone to her now – at Dublin City, Ireland
There is a troubling lack of understanding in Ireland about the war that Hamas forced upon Israel and about the nature of modern warfare.
The typical narrative in Ireland oversimplifies this complex situation and draws flawed parallels with Irish history and tragedies.
The international community, including Irish leaders, agree that Hamas cannot and will not be part of the solution, so why do they constantly let them off the hook for starting and prolonging this war?

HSE Sexual Health Programme today launch two new reports, published by the ESRI on sexual health and young adults in Ireland. Sexual health, literacy, behaviours, initiation are all explored. Knowledge of the best method for STI prevention is high, knowledge of fertility is much lower. Little evidence of an association between sexual health literacy and condom and contraception use. Peer culture is a key predictor of earlier sexual initiation in this research, which is available to download through this link sexualwellbeing.ie/publicati…

We will not be intimidated! Shameful union-busting from @tcddublin @LindaDoyle. Students and staff stand united against university management and their suppression of the student voice protesting for Palestine, as well as fees, rents and postgraduate workers' rights.

I'm trying to imagine being an Israeli citizen, and knowing that this child's murder was committed in my name, and for the supposed safety of my own children. I'm trying to understand how people accommodate themselves to evil on this scale. I'm not getting very far.

Travelling abroad via England and trying to vaccinate 7 month old prior. Proving very difficult, despite DFA/HPSC advice. A no from PHN, local immunisation office, GP and travel vaccine centres 🤷♀️

The new WHO guidelines (mhGAP) for depression are ridiculous! AD:s get a conditional recommendation to be "considered" for moderate to severe depression with low certainty of evidence while psychological therapies - as a group - get a strong recommendation to be "offered" ->
