NATO’s summit in Turkey must not distract from the sham trial of Istanbul’s Mayor. #Freeİmamoğlu europeangreens.eu/news/greens-...

With more Ukrainian civilian deaths from Russian drones in Kyiv, the investigation into Aughinish Alumina’s activities must not be delayed. Here’s a useful long read from RTÉ’s Tony Connelly: www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

Delivering green energy takes time, and patience, a useful explainer from the UK: www.theguardian.com/business/ng-...

Workers at the Aughinish alumina refinery must be protected, but it is vital that exports of materials to Russia that could be used in weapons or drones are halted. europeangreens.eu/news/irish-e...

A proud moment as Ireland takes over the EU Presidency, but crucial that climate and cost of living concerns take centre-stage: greenparty.ie/news/climate...

Sure, we’re going to need more air conditioning, and ideally it will be solar powered. But let’s ensure we tackle the causes, as well as the symptoms of the climate crisis. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Sadly, images of overworked hospital staff might be more appropriate than ice-cream and beach bodies as the death toll rises with Europe’s heat dome heading east. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Big shout out to the @Greenparty.ie crew at Dublin Pride today. One Story. Many Voices. Scéal Amháin. Go Leor Guthanna.

One year ago, Viktor Orbán tried to ban Budapest Pride. This year, Budapest will march free. europeangreens.eu/news/orban-t...

As weather records are broken this heatwave needs to be a wake-up call. EU government leaders must meet and urgently strengthen Europe’s climate protections and the Green Deal. europeangreens.eu/news/heatwav...

The challenges of our time cannot be solved by an isolated nation-state alone. As Keir Starmer departs here’s hoping the UK Labour Party is willing to engage again with Europe. europeangreens.eu/news/starmer...

Heatwaves are silent killers. Europe must step up its efforts to cut emissions. europeangreens.eu/news/heatwav...

Georgian opposition leader Elene Khoshtarias has been in jail since last year for damaging an election poster. Her health is deteriorating. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze must take action to protect her. #Georgia oc-media.org/jailed-georg...

A travel day for me today. Saint Pancras Station once the largest enclosed space in the world, almost demolished in the 1960s, and today Eurostar's London terminus. Still takes my breath away every time I visit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Panc...

“People aren’t looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.” Thank you Barack Obama for these much-needed words at the dedication of your Presidential Center in Chicago today. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Stark news from Ireland’s EPA. They say “No real improvement in water quality. The main reason for this lack of progress is ongoing pollution from … human activities such as farming, wastewater discharges and runoff from land.” greenparty.ie/news/governm...

Well, what do you know? Americans are embracing plug‑and‑play solar to slash energy costs despite Donald Trump's anti-renewables push. #MAGA www.dw.com/en/the-diy-s...

The Strait of Hormuz may be opening, but governments need to prepare for future oil supply disruptions. Decarbonising energy through electrification is needed, but also protecting the vulnerable as well as agriculture, fertilisers, and the pharmaceutical sector. www.iea.org/commentaries...

Dún Laoghaire’s coastline: here’s a piece I wrote based on the work of my Dad, Luan Cuffe published in the Irish Times in 1968.

A road trip to 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands today. A new political party comes to life; @progressiefned.bsky.social Congrats @jesseklaver.groenlinkspvda.nl and colleagues. europeangreens.eu/news/europes...

Nice! All European night trains running in 2026 on a single map. Thanks @back-on-track.eu Have you ever taken one? back-on-track.eu/all-night-tr...

The people of Northern Ireland: the hard work and dedication of community leaders, volunteers and emergency service personell in standing up to bigotry and protecting the most vulnerable is an example to us all.

Quite a buzz to European Sustainable Energy Week discussing implementation of greener buildings under the #EPBD, and pleased to see an umarell watching over construction work outside.

Didn’t expect to be discussing Komorebi (木漏れ日) the scattered light that filters through when sunlight shines through trees, (or built-in solar PV). Strange things happen during European Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels. Thanks @europeon.bsky.social for the invitation. #EUSEW

Took the low-carbon #Sailrail option to Brussels today, stunning view of Dún Laoghaire on the way out of Dublin Port.

Dublin's O'Connell Street? So much potential, but too many empty shops, cheap shop signs and casinos. The Council and the new Dublin City taskforce headed by Robert Watt must raise the bar: www.dublininquirer.com/could-a-prom...

The next round of EU sanctions on Russia is due to be approved on July 15. The Irish Government must conclude its investigation into Aughinish Alumina well in advance. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Looks like El Niño is back, with more heatwaves and weather uncertainty, not what we want in a warming world. Another reason for Governments to support clean energy and reduce energy costs. wmo.int/news/media-c...

Over the moon about @[email protected]'s performance in the Dublin Central by-election. No seat for the Green Party this time, but an upbeat positive campaign that will be rewarded in the coming years.

I just voted @janetphorner.bsky.social Number 0ne. If you're living in Dublin Central have you made a plan to vote today?

Today’s outrageous court decision pushes Turkey further towards autocracy. @europeangreens.eu stand with the people of Turkey, the EU must respond. europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

Shameful to see Israel’s Minister of National Security Ben Gvir disgracing himself and his Government again by ill-treating peacemakers he illegally detained.

Dublin’s by-election this Friday? Vote @janetphorner.bsky.social @bsky.social #1 for 🚌 Buses that work to your schedule ⚡️ Clean energy at an affordable price 🏣 Living over the Shop, not dereliction
