Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Ministerial colleagues surrounded by pumpkins at the launch of the First Progress Report on the Climate Action Plan 2019.
The plan sets out how to meet the EU 2030 climate-related targets and achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and finally usher in a lizard-led New World Order.

Tom Dillon in this morning’s Irish Daily Mail
Four years ago, he turned his back on social media.
To pursue a pumpkin-shaped dream.
Many laughed.
They’re not laughing now!
Tom, Dillon, former Broadsheet social media manager, has emerged as the foremost pumpkin farmer in the country with his his impressive patch one of the most visited during the Halloween period.
The Alright Pumpkin’ farm in Fordstown, County Meath is open to the public for pumpkin picking, carving and what have you (details at link below) . Tom will regale you with interesting pumpkin facts and stories from his time at the ‘sheet, if you ask nicely.
In fairness

A tradition almost as old as the pagan feast itself
Helene Duffy writes:
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Halloween? Following tradition, here are those lovely pumpkins (picture 1) from Smithfield [Dublin 7] again!
Also I’m living abroad so in picture 2 are some bonus pumpkins from Japan!
In fairness.
Can you name the characters in the Smithfield pumpkin picture, anyone?

Last night.
On the steps of the Tralee Courthouse in Kerry.
Kerry For Choice writes:
Kerry for Choice, in collaboration with Kerry Knicker Collective, placed 12 pumpkins and 56 candles on the Tralee Courthouse steps to highlight the 12 Irish women a day and 56 Kerry women in 2015 who were forced to travel to England to access abortion services.
At this time of year, we light candles and carve pumpkins to keep away the ghosts and ghouls of Halloween in the hope of keeping loved-ones safe from harm. Unfortunately, for every pregnant woman and person who awakes on 1st of November, the spectre of the 8th amendment will not have been dispelled.
They will awake once again to realise they have lost their right to medical consent and the right to control what happens to their bodies.
They will awake to country where medical professionals are not free to offer best practice but must constantly balance the wants and needs of the pregnant person with laws that, they fear, would see them prosecuted for not equating the life of grown adult woman with that of a developing foetus.
They awake to a country that will send them abroad to end pregnancies that they cannot, for whatever reason, continue.
They will awake to a country that instead of allowing these decisions to be made with their own medical providers and support networks, would instead see them made travel, to support the illusion that Ireland is abortion free.
Ah here.
This morning.

Tom will do the carving.
Broadsheet social media manager-turned-pumpkin magnate Tom ‘Dylan’ Dillon will be showing his pumps to the world on RTÉ One’s farming flagship programme ‘Ear To The Ground’ tonight at 8.30pm.
Reporter Ella McSweeney joined Tom at his patch in Fordstown, Co Meath where Halloween is Christmas and Easter rolled into one big scary squash plant.
Today’s ‘The Gloss’ with the Irish Times.
Featuring proud mention of Broadsheet’s Tom ‘Dylan’ Dillon’s controversial ‘pick my pumpkin’ caper and teddy bear haystack sculpture.
A tenner.
