I’ll be arriving in Budapest tomorrow for the Climate Arena conference as one of this year’s climate reporting fellows. If you’ll be there and want to grab a coffee, give me a shout! Also send recommendations of things to do in the city, as I’ll have some time either side 😊
'When he heard what The Irish Times saw and heard in Sderot, Prof Bartov said it reminded him “of what the Germans called in World War II ‘execution tourism’, ie touring and photographing (as souvenirs) one’s own atrocities”.'

All 5 seats in Louth now filled after the 20th count. Labour’s Ged Nash, FG Paula Butterly and FF Erin McGreehan have been elected. That’s a wrap 👋🏼
Day three in Louth and this is turning out to be one of the longest counts in the country. 19th count is underway (again, as a recheck is currently happening for that count). 3 out of 5 seats yet to be filled.
Still no candidate elected in Louth on the 13th count. Down to 10 candidates in the running now.
Counting has resumed in Louth, with the 10th count just in. SF incumbent Ruairí Ó Murchú still taking the lead with 8,879 votes, followed by fellow SF Joanna Byrne with 8,319 votes, and Labour’s Ged Nash at 7,747. No one has been elected yet as quota hasn’t been reached.
Louth is at 97% tallied now. It’s the only constituency where tallying isn’t completed yet.
In Louth, a 5-seater, it’s looking like at least 2 Sinn Féin, 1 Labour so far. Other two seats too close to call. First count expected in the next couple of hours.
I’m covering the count in Louth, which has the longest ballot paper in the country. There are a record 24 candidates running in the constituency. I’ll be reporting updates for The Irish Times. #Election2024 #GE24
