Thank you @IrishTimes. James Kingston was such a warm person, with a razor sharp legal mind, a great sense of humour and passion for social justice. He made the @dfatirl a better place.

Congratulations to all elected. Despite a divisive election, I hope parties can now come together & find a way to form a functioning Assembly and Executive to serve the people of Northern Ireland.
We will work with all parties and the U.K. Govt to protect the GFA and NDNA.

I strongly condemn yesterday’s terrorist attacks in Elad, Israel. This violence must stop and has absolutely no justification. My thoughts and sympathies are with the victims and their families. @dfatirl @irishmissionun https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/05/three-people-killed-and-at-least-four-injured-in-attack-at-israeli-town-of-elad

RT @antonioguterres: In a joint @UN-@ICRC operation, 2 safe passage convoys successfully evacuated nearly 500 people from the Azovstal plant, Mariupol & surrounding areas.
I hope that continued coordination with Moscow & Kyiv will lead to more humanitarian pauses to allow civilians safe passage.

There’s been a lot of understandable comment in relation to this trash video on Russian State TV.

Ireland continues to advocate for the strongest possible EU sanctions. The 6th EU Sanctions Package will target Russian oil and more banks. The cost for #Russia of continued war must be very high, to maximise pressure to bring it to an end. 🇮🇪🇪🇺 https://www.rte.ie/news/ukraine/2022/0503/1295773-russia-sanctions/
