The United Nations has announced May 22 as The International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) so as to increase understanding and awareness on biodiversity issues among citizens.

But was it really the establishment and Bank of England that foiled her growth plans, or misguided thinking and botched delivery? But the ultimate judges of a government's economic decision-making are the financial markets - as they have been throughout modern financial history. In a bid to increase their returns, the pension funds' investment gurus came up with a new breed of asset called a Liability-Driven Investment (LDI). The pension funds paid for these with funds borrowed using their bond portfolios as collateral. It was her decision to rush the fences and, by so doing, alarm the financial markets, that sowed the seeds of her destruction.

As government again removes asylum-seekers and their tents, the notion of ‘a criminal offence in principle’ remains unknown to law and the Canal Act expressly disapplies itself to persons using canal property for less than a week in one place. Ten days ago, on 11 May, I asked the Department of the Taoiseach to explain the legality of its removal of tents on the canal. It is an established legal principle that a specific law or byelaw prevails over a more general law or byelaw. (1) No person shall place or use any structure, tent, caravan or vehicle as a dwelling on canal property, except with the written permission of the Commissioners. (3) This Bye-law shall not apply to persons using canal property for a period of not more than one week at the same place’.

The family had to move out of their home in the Curraghboy area last month due to the record flooding at Lough Funshinagh. Lough Funshinagh flood victim 'disappointed' after Taoiseach fails to meet herTaoiseach Simon Harris paid a low-key visit to Lough Funshinagh in South Roscommon last weekend, while Tánaiste Micheál Martin is expected to view the flooding crisis there tomorrow (Wednesday). The Taoiseach's visit on Sunday was not announced in advance, and was described by his spokesperson as a private visit to meet affected families. Ellie said it was her understanding that there would be no flood relief works carried out until 2025, and until these works were implemented it was inevitable her home would flood again. Roscommon Fianna Fáil Senator Eugene Murphy said his party's leader, Micheál Martin, would be visiting Lough Funshinagh tomorrow morning (Wednesday).

Tent clearance underway along Grand Canal in DublinAnother multi-agency operation to clear the banks of the Grand Canal of homeless asylum seekers is underway in Dublin. The multi-agency operation to remove the tents between McCartney Bridge and Leeson Street Bridge along the Grand Canal got underway at around 9am on Tuesday morning.
