‼️ 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 ’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.

Hosted by Senator Tom Clonan

What is the delay @GovIE ?

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!

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, ing 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.

Finland. Sweden. Norway. Denmark. The Czech Republic. Latvia. Switzerland.
And the host, Canada, won't let Russia in at all.

The sports court ruled for Russia. The hockey world is ruling against it.

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.

CHI has previously described VBT spinal surgery as involving “experimental technology”.

CHI has failed to answer questions about VBT spinal surgery, charitable funding, any private hospital involvement and patient safety.

Who funded and authorised these procedures? What ied? Where are the long-term outcomes? @CHI_Ireland

CHI raised concerns about the volume of questions.

The Minister for Health must now demand a full, documented account of the funding, approvals, oversight and outcomes. Children deserve answers, not another deflection. @CarrollJennifer @SimonHarrisTD
