Ahead of our release, delighted to wake up to this great review in the New York Times. Our film is insanely Irish. It contains footage of Derek Davis complaining about his ‘soft’ broccoli but really gratifying to see the film resonate internationally.

Joint statement on Gaza from @AFP, @AP, @BBCWorld and @Reuters
"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die." AFP has issued a statement saying this is the 1st time in history their on-the-ground reporters face death because of enforced starvation.

It’s All-Ireland hurling final week. I’ve loved hurling my whole life. But I’d never played it. Until last year, when... I moved to Waterford. I joined my dad’s club, Old Parish. I tried to understand by doing. And I wrote a book. Pre-order it from today linktr.ee/oldparish
Noraid - Episode 2 airs on RTÈ ONE tonight at 9.35. (or catch it on the player now)
Mark recorded a short ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ case update podcast last night for @BBCSounds, especially for listeners outside of Ireland. It’s out now wherever you get your podcasts @Younghorgan ⬇️
“The BBC podcast and the impact it had in prompting the four victims to come forward are mentioned several times in the court documents from Florida.” Just an incredible line to read. Thanks for all the messages over the past couple of days, everyone. @CiaranCass
Why has it taken so long to arrest George Gibney in the US to enable extradition? irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025…
Felt a bit emotional seeing this as the lead story on the news last night. Can’t imagine how others felt. Long journey. Great that the survivors will get their day in court.
🚨🚨🚨 Two final bonus episodes of Stakeknife are released this week including this hugely powerful interview with Angela Donnelly who is still awaiting a family report from Operation Kenova.
And I hope you get a chance to listen to our final ep with (the also inspiring) Angela Donnelly. Angela is one of the people STILL awaiting the delivery of family reports from Op Kenova. The release of these reports was expected in late 24’ & appears to have stalled again…
i wrote about the film industry's cowardly non-response to the Palestinian genocide, and why the failure to distribute films like "No Other Land" and Nadav Lapid's "Yes" threatens to permanently diminish the value of cinema itself. indiewire.com/features/comme…

Remembering my friend and colleague, the Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot dead three years ago in Jenin in the West Bank. Israel has acknowledged that she was ‘probably’ shot by one of its soldiers, but no one has been prosecuted for her killing.
Ellen appeared in the 1984 contest for Housewife of the Year. Our documentary is about the gap between what viewers saw on screeen and the reality at home. Housewife of the Year is screening tonight at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
"It was a very cruel thing to do. To be mistrusted and not believed." The story of a generation of resilient women and a country in transition. #HousewifeOfTheYear | Tonight at 9.30pm

Housewife of the Years airs tonight on RTÉ One at 9.30pm. I have seen it countless times and this story - so well told - still always leaves me speechless. The cruelty and misogyny is just astounding. @CiaranCass
