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
🚨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/Library3/…
Very important.. the EU this week recognised that individual countries like Ireland may ban trade with Israel's illegal settlements under EU law. In June 9 EU MS (incl 🇮🇪) called for a ban. Now 🇫🇷 calls to end "all forms of financial support, direct & indirect" to settlements 👇
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: bnaibrith.org/implications-o…

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. #NoToOmnibus
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. With 160+ CSOs, unions, and activists, we say #NoToOmnibus—corporate accountability is non-negotiable for a fair future!
Short 🧵 on Ireland's declaration of intervention in South Africa v. Israel.
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.

The message is clear as the Dáil assembled.
BREAKING: Also @amnesty concludes that Israel has committed and continues to commit the crime of genocide in Gaza: amnesty.org/en/latest/news…… Reminder: Political leaders and others who continue to support Israel as it commits genocide, maybe found complict in its crimes.👇
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...

Today is International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people. The best way 🇮🇪 can show solidarity is through action. We urge the next Govt to urgently pass the Occupied Territories Bill - an essential step in beginning to address the decades-long, ongoing injustice in 🇵🇸
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. 1/4
I’ve been told that candidates from various political parties, when asked about the Occupied Territories Bill on the doors, are saying that I’m “happy” or “satisfied” that the Bill didn’t pass in full pre election. So I’m sharing this for the avoidance of any doubt. We should…
Let's be absolutely clear, this finance deal is nothing more than an egregious denial of climate justice. Rich countries have strong armed developing nations into accepting a woefully inadequate deal that will further erode trust and hinder climate action. Shameful & unjust.
I’m so relieved we got a climate finance deal over the line in Baku. To fail would have been unforgivable, to succeed, brings hope to a divided world. We now need to deliver the money and reform of the international financial system to protect the most vulnerable the most. #COP29
COP29 has been a disaster for the developing world. It’s a betrayal of both people and planet, by wealthy countries who claim to take climate change seriously. Rich countries have promised to “mobilise” some funds in the future, rather than provide them now. The cheque is in…
An excerpt from my SOAS lecture: "We cannot allow, in a way that is akin to a Clockwork Orange, that the live-streamed genocide and its associated apathy desensitise us to the violence, normalise the oppression, dissociate us from its moral failure, or to legitimise the…
