Clear indication from Dr. Andy Phillips, HSE South West REO, that he sees redeployment of psychologists from services that are in a relatively healthy state to crisis-hit services as the way forward, via a Director of Psychology. Sure fire way to drive clinicians out of the HSE.

'Can't get enough applicants'... what do they expect when they aren't actually advertising the vacant posts 🙄

Delighted to deputise for the Mayor at the opening of fEast Cork this evening. fEast represents the best of East Cork - our finest food & most dynamic enterprising spirit. The festival is made up of many small scale producers alongside those with global recognition & success.

Notice the strange "of Turkish origin" qualifier here. Why put that unnecessary detail in the headline if not to poison the well and suggest that it is not as significant as if Israel killed a "real American"?

Some very engaging conversations with residents of Suncourt, Lourdesville and Park St., Midleton this morning. Great to be out with Rebecca, Eamonn, Emily & Damian. If you'd like to join our campaign we'd love to hear from you.

Nothing like the sight of crunching concrete & glimmering tarmac to excite a busy Councillor. Delighted to see these works on the People's Path between Whitegate & Rostellan get underway after a long campaign of advocacy & eventually a €200k grant. Great work Cork County Council 👏

Really impressed with Cork East Fittest Superstars in Aghada GAA Grounds, Rostellan today. A wide-ranging set of events with families & clubs from across East Cork. Competitive & fun in equal measures. Lovely stalls & superbly organised.

Don't look away.

Huge crowd & great buzz around Midleton today for fEast Cork. Really good use of outdoor seating & provision of portaloos by the organisers. Fab funfair nearby at Market Green with quite a few tests of physical courage.

State has a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy lands adjoining Glen of the Downs and expand this magnificent ancient woodland. Wicklow TD Jennifer Whitmore TD has written to Taoiseach urging him to support the proposal as part of nature restoration efforts. socialdemocrats.ie/whitmore-calls…

I just signed this petition to enact the Occupied Territories Bill, will you join me? my.uplift.ie/petitions/enac… via Uplift

Horrific to see this but we need to be aware of what our closest international allies are aiding and abetting through military support & diplomatic cover. Where is our common humanity? Sanctions on Israel, beginning with the Occupied Territories Bill, are a moral imperative.

Never forget that western media is complicit in genøcide

I really enjoyed meeting residents of O'Dwyer's Road, Midleton with Emily, Eamonn & Damian this evening. Speed measures and facilities for young people were the most important issues for people we met.

🚨The depth of the CRATER caused by Israeli bombings with TREMOR BOMBS on displaced families' tents in southern #Gaza has erased both the tents and the families—leaving NO TRACE at all! Tents… TENTS… bombed with missiles of a kind the world has NEVER witnessed in any war‼️

Satirical magazines doing a far better job of conveying absolute horror of the ongoing genocide in #Gaza than heavily sanitised "both sides" approach of most media outlets.

What is left to say at this point

There remains confusion in East Cork around basic aspects of an emergency response to a future flood event, such as where sandbag filling machines would be located. Essential that publication of updated inter-agency Emergency Response Plans are expedited. irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

This photo needs to be the front page of every news paper in the world. 20 tents full of displaced families buried alive in Gaza.
