The leader of the Seanad Regina Doherty has accused Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Media Minister Catherine Martin of excusing attitudes towards victims of sexual violence by refusing to remove former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger from a commission examining the future of Irish media.
The Coalition is coming under mounting pressure over its decision to back Mr Rusbridger amid controversy over his knowledge of media commentator Roy Greenslade s support for the IRA. Mr Rusbridger was editor of The Guardian when Mr Greenslade wrote an article in 2014 questioning the credibility of a BBC Spotlight programme about IRA abuse victim Máiría Cahill s case.

Eleven days after tar began to wash up on Israel’s Mediterranean shore, apparently as a result of a marine oil spill, the Environmental Protection Ministry on Monday called on companies specializing in mapping and cleaning up of the marine environment to help local authorities find ways of getting the tar off hard, rocky surfaces, under the supervision of marine ecology inspectors.
The call came as reports came in of more tar washing up onto beaches at Tel Dor, north Netanya, Emek Hefer, Gador, Michmoret, Nachsholim and Beit Yannai in the north and Nitzanim in the south.
