Don’t forget, the war on Iran is a war on climate too. www.theinvadingsea.com/2026/03/26/i...

Two maps, one of Italy showing voting on a contentious referendum, the other the race for Mayor of Paris. Clear divisions: left/right, urban/rural, well-off/struggling, both reminders us of the importance of democracy in a fractured world.

The brutal Gaza playbook is being replicated on Lebanese soil: attack, destroy, occupy. Europe must respond. europeangreens.eu/news/lebanon...

Super results from Denmark for our @europeangreens.eu member party @sf.dk and leader @piaolsendyhr.bsky.social in yesterday's national elections. Clear messaging on cost of living, and clean drinking water, under threat from contamination by agriculture was central.

Chilly evenings and a glimpse of the moon over St. Peter's Church spire in Phibsborough.

“Every key climate indicator is flashing red,” says UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Yowza! A good time to think about taking the bus if you can, hopping on the bike, eating more veggies, and using a little less AI. wmo.int/media/news/e...

Progressive wins today, and a clear vote for trams, bikes and living cities: Dominik Krause elected as Green mayor of Munich, and Emmanuel Grégoire as mayor of Paris.

Poolbeg Lighthouse, with Dublin Bay and the Dublin mountains beyond. Always good to be back in my home town, especially when travelling by sea.

Fatih Birol of @iea.org knows energy backwards. When he says “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market” we should listen. And of course, he has a 10-point plan: www.iea.org/news/new-iea...

Big congrats to our Dutch colleagues on yesterday's local election results in the Netherlands @Groenlinks-pvda.bsky.social topping the polls, a real boost for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and elsewhere. Well done to leader @jesseklaver.groenlinkspvda.nl and team. europeangreens.eu/news/groenli...

Nice to see two extraordinary leaders meeting up on St. Patrick's Day: former Irish President Mary Robinson and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

A sense of Ireland on our National Day, and happy #StPatricksDay to you and yours. Lá fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh.

Brussels-bound, a day of emails, Teams calls, and reflection: how to ensure European households aren't held to ransom by both Putin and Trump.

Crude awakening: a timely explainer from RTÉ’s Tony Connolly on the impact of Middle East war on Europe, and the steps needed to break our dependency on fossil fuels. #StraitsOfHormuz www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, and stumbled across a Brazil fusion with Irish dancing in Dublin Castle this afternoon; lots happening over the next few days. stpatricksfestival.ie/event/samba-...

Lebanon’s cities are being pummelled by Israel. Bombing dense city districts is inhumane and illegal. Better to strengthen their weak government than slaughter hundreds of innocent civilians. aje.news/5e311q

War in the Middle East and push-backs on the Green Deal from the Right means higher prices and more dependency on oil and gas. Now, more than ever Governments must help hard-pressed households to move to cleaner energy. europeangreens.eu/news/middle-...

It’s not rocket science: with oil and gas prices on the rise, governments must boost home-grown renewables and reduce our dependence on the Middle East for our energy needs.

Europe must act on housing, and cities such as Vienna show us how. Today's European Parliament report failed to deliver the ambition needed to tackle speculation and short-term rentals. europeangreens.eu/news/housing...

Stunning result in Germany’s Baden-Württemberg, where Greens' top candidate Cem Özdemir will become the state’s next premier. www.dw.com/en/germany-n...

Nothing like some sunshine and spring flowers to lift the spirits on days when there's a lot of sad news in the world.

That strike on the Iranian School that killed scores of schoolgirls? “The evidence seems to be pointing at US responsibility.” Powerful gut-wrenching reporting by @Malachy.bsky.social of @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

Derelict buildings acquired by Dublin City Council should not sit empty for decades. The Council needs more resources, and more ambition to turn these eyesores into homes.

Thanks @AbbeyTheatre.bsky.social for a spine-tingling production of Seán O’Casey’s ’Plough and the Stars’ a century after its first production. Still so relevant today. www.abbeytheatre.ie/whats-on/the...

Dublin’s top of the class for…pollution from ferries. Dublin Port needs to speed up their plans for clean shore-to-ship power. Oh, and a shout-out to Lois Kapila of @DublinInquirer.com for her work on this. www.transportenvironment.org/articles/fer...

This dangerous spiral of military escalation in the Middle East needs to end, diplomacy must prevail. europeangreens.eu/news/europea...

Thanks Kilkenny for a blast of a @greenparty.ie Conference, even snuck into the city for a jar in Tynans Bridge House and a glimpse of the Castle.

‘Mission Accomplished’ or descent into chaos? Regime change in Iran is uncertain, but Trump’s disregard for International Law has slaughtered innocents, and creates further bloodshed and instability in the Middle East.

Hiya Kilkenny, a few words from the Irish Green Party conference, and thanks Mal O’Hara for the supporting role.

Get more of what's important, with the Green Party!

What a victory for the Greens in the Manchester by-election. Congratulations to our new MP Hannah Spencer! europeangreens.eu/news/manches...

💚 Good luck to Hannah Spencer in the election in Gorton & Denton, representing @greenparty.org.uk. 🗳️ Dear British friends, grab your umbrella and get yourself to the polls this Thursday to stop Reform! 👀 Did you know that if you’re 16 or over you can vote in the UK?

4 years of Ukrainian resilience. 4 years of horrors. We will continue to stand for Ukraine. This video, taken in a cemetery in Kyiv by @joannakaminska.bsky.social is a powerful reminder of Ukrainians’ continuous resilience and everyday fight for the freedom and security of all of Europe.

Seems like the German Government’s proposed blending quota for green gases in gas networks in the ‘Gebäudeenergiegesetz’ is a pipe dream: an aspiration that kicks climate targets down the road leaving consumers paying higher heating costs for Russian gas.

While missiles pound Kyiv Missiles pound Kyiv, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán blocks the support Ukraine desperately needs. The EU must urgently end unanimity in the Council of the European Union on foreign affairs. europeangreens.eu/news/orban-b...

Dublin’s Hammond Lane once Hangman’s Lane, State-owned, earmarked for our new Children’s Court, flooded in these rail-sodden days and empty for a generation. A reminder that we need to better tackle publicly-owned vacant sites, as well as privately owned ones.

Clean coal? Yeh, right: have a read: www.dw.com/en/how-mercu...

Interestingly, by providing electricity during peak demand, this will better balance the electricity grid, and allow more renewables to be used. www.rte.ie/news/2026/02...

'Board of Peace'? Real peace in the Middle East requires justice, accountability, and inclusion not power politics. europeangreens.eu/news/italy-a...

Donald Trump’s energy chief is wrong, decarbonisation is the name of the game, and renewable energy brings cleaner air,  better health, and energy independence. That’s why we call it freedom fuel. www.politico.eu/article/us-p...

"I am somebody!"Powerful words from the late Jesse Jackson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn5h...

The Hungarian people and only the Hungarian people, must decide the direction their country will take. More from @vulatsetsi.bsky.social & @ciarancuffe.bsky.social here: europeangreens.eu/news/hungary...

Phibsborough's old Pin Mill by the Royal Canal's 6th Lock catching some rare February sunshine the other evening.

I miss this guy. Any chance he’s coming back to Hawkins Street?

I know I harp on a bit about electrification, but this 10,000 tonne electric cargo ship is quite a breakthrough. Slow and steady, but I suspect it will win the race on short sea shipping. www.electrive.com/2026/02/13/1...

Trump has deepened the transatlantic divide, and this new reality is an economic opportunity for Europe. europeangreens.eu/news/europe-...

The divide between the USA and the EU deepens, and Trump’s policy shifts will take their toll in human lives. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/c...
