'Unicef estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the conflict began in October. “This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history”, Ghassan Abu-Sittah, [a] surgeon who specialises in paediatric trauma, told me recently.'

Extraordinary that this behaviour is still tolerated - it falls on road safety grounds, it falls on animal welfare grounds. @gardatraffic would not accept this from any other community ISPCA

Big congrats and best wishes to my agent Ivan Mulcahy on a very good year for him and all at Mulcahy Sweeney 💫

Karl Wallinger, the musical genius behind World Party, has passed away at age 66. He had a knack for crafting infectious melodies and thought-provoking lyrics in 'Is It Too Late? 'Way Down Now' and 'Ship Of Fools' and, oh, a dozen more, and will be deeply missed.

10.7 million people now displaced by conflicts in Sudan. Of those abroad, 'Chad hosts the majority of arrivals at 37%, with South Sudan at 30% and Egypt at 24% while Ethiopia, Libya & the Central African Republic host the remainder'. #KeepEyesonSudan iom.int/news/dire-plig…

So it took three of us three months to make ‘Pond Life’.

We revealed it to President Higgins today.

I think he liked it.
