We’ve never seen an El Niño like this one. And it’s possible the gobsmacking heat it’s releasing will push us permanently past a symbolic warming threshold

‼️ IMPORTANT UPDATE | AV ROOM BRIEFING RESCHEDULED
Our briefing in Leinster House, originally scheduled for today, 11 November, has been rescheduled to Wednesday, 18 November 2026 at 5pm.
This decision was taken in light of the significant security and travel restrictions associated with Ireland’s hosting of European leaders this week, alongside the separate uncertainty surrounding proposed public sector industrial action.
This is an important briefing, and we are calling on all TDs and Senators to attend.
Families and children affected by failures in scoliosis and spina bifida care deserve answers, accountability and a full, independent Public Statutory Tribunal of Inquiry.
We ask our elected representatives to attend, listen to families and publicly support their call for a transparent investigation.
📍 AV Room, Leinster House
📅 Wednesday, 18 November | 5pm
Hosted by Senator Tom Clonan

We are outraged by the Supreme Court’s decision allowing Trump’s border wall construction to resume in @BigBendNPS. This destructive project threatens irreplaceable wildlife habitat, sacred cultural sites, and one of America’s most treasured landscapes. Big Bend deserves protection, not destruction!

A very dangerous storm #Charles is moving in from the Atlantic towards the Iberian Peninsula and then further into the Mediterranean. ⚠️⚠️ Parts of Portugal and Spain are expected to receive over 200 mm of rain, while rainfall totals could exceed 300 mm in Tuscany and Croatia. The affected areas face a risk of flooding and widespread damage. 🧐 The storm is currently approaching the Canary Islands and is expected to reach Portugal tomorrow: ventusky.com/wind-gusts-map/…

California is experiencing one of the most extraordinary marine heatwaves in it's history. Water temperatures off Santa Barbara reached nearly 75°F today, 12°F above normal. Off San Diego County, temperatures reached above 77°F in the past week.
From the Bay Area to San Diego, coastal waters are running 6–12°F above normal. Category 5, or “beyond extreme,” marine heatwave conditions are occurring along virtually the entire Southern California coast.
Farther north, temperatures off Monterey have reached 68°F and 67°F off Half Moon Bay.
This exceptional warmth could have major consequences for marine life and could help enhance storms this winter.

Thanks to all who want to keep hearing our story. So much of Ireland on the International stage this week and our little group of 40 survivors and a 65 year campaign is still getting covered.
Because so many think it's justified.

FT reports a diplomat briefed on the talks saying Netanyahu calls Trump every day urging resumption of the Iran war. An Israeli source confirmed he favors renewed action but denied any current concerted push. Trump has publicly said the military phase is effectively over and sees a good chance of a deal.

Castlebar councillor Michael Kilcoyne has placed blame directly on Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill for the current pause in nurse recruitment at Mayo University Hospital. The Independent councillor contends that the Minister underestimated the necessary funding for the annual health budget, leaving up to 90 nursing posts vacant at the facility. This freeze has reportedly led to the withdrawal of job offers both permanent and temporary previously extended to recent graduate nurses. The situation is causing direct strain on staff and patients, coinciding with Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation figures showing 25 patients on trolleys at Mayo University Hospital and 70 at Galway University Hospital

🚨 Leaked HSE report contradicts Cabinet claims on €1B health deficit!
Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and Cabinet colleagues have blamed a regional "hiring spree" for spiraling costs. However, an internal HSE oversight report reveals the truth: non-pay overspending is actually 2.4 times higher than staff pay overruns.
Out of a €659M deficit recorded through August, €431M comes from non-pay expenses like GP payments, medications, clinical supplies, and IT. Meanwhile, staff pay was over budget by €180M.
Despite using the recruitment narrative to strip four health regions of their financial autonomy, the data shows the worst cost control actually sits with Children’s Health Ireland (€50.8M deficit) and non-pay operational costs.
For taxpayers, this points to a deeply flawed budgeting system raising serious concerns that staffing levels and frontline patient care are being squeezed to cover miscalculated central costs.

Today we launched the Vulcănești–Chișinău power line, linking Moldova to Romania and the European grid. For decades, Moscow used energy to blackmail us. No more: Moldova buys zero Russian gas, and two more power lines to Romania are on the way. Thanks to all who made it happen.

A single glacier sitting at the bottom of the world may be all that is holding back catastrophic amounts of sea level rise. As it melts away faster than ever, scientists are racing to get a better understanding of when it might fail. Unfortunately, they’ve recently found more bad news.

Imagine pouring four years of hard work into earning your degree, signing your employment contract, and quitting your job only to be told days before starting that your new role in the HSE has been abruptly "paused". That is the heartbreaking reality for Mayo healthcare graduates like Lucy Brennan and Mae Hession, who are now forced onto jobseeker’s benefit while frontline vacancies remain unfilled.
Following pay budget overspends, the HSE has tightened financial controls across four regions, creating what local representatives call a recruitment freeze in all but name. It’s a frustrating contradiction: as patient waiting times soar and millions continue to be spent on temporary agency staff.
The very nurses trained to heal our system are left with no choice but to look at emigrating to Australia or Canada. While health officials insist these controls are essential to restore budgetary discipline and protect patient care, affected workers are left completely in the dark without a clear timeline. Our young healthcare workers stepped up to serve. Isn't it time the country stood by them?
