Phenomenal result! Congratulations Kate O'Connor!!!

End of a busy week. Finished up the Plot2Plate community garden project, helped St David's Secondary school do a Big Beach Clean and attended a vigil for Gaza. Just a snapshot !

Do you feel safe sea swimming after a sewage leak? At the moment tests are only done during the bathing season.I asked the Council to review their policy and test sea water after a sewage overflow. If the Council hasn't the resources, maybe citizen scientists need to step in? 🤔

Fantastic Harvest Festival today, brought by residents of Hawkins Wood and Aldborough. A true community event and was my pleasure to open the festivities!

Beautiful day for Picnic in the Park. Delighted to open this lovely free event 😀

Netanyahu announced full occupation of Gaza — while people starve, are displaced and killed. This is genocide. EU must act now: - Impose a full arms embargo - Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement - Move to recognise Palestine Stop the war. Ceasefire and humanitarian aid — now!

Government must act to limit withdrawals from Childcare Core Funding greenparty.ie/news/governm... @lourdascottgreen.bsky.social @rodericogorman.bsky.social

What is being done about the recent spate of vicious racist attacks on innocent people around Ireland? Government action is needed now greenparty.ie/news/green-p... @lourdascottgreen.bsky.social @feljin.ie @rodericogorman.bsky.social

"If we are to meet demand..... we need a clear breakdown of where this funding is going and what it will deliver" NDP review = Lack of commitment to real improvements to childcare and equality. More words and no actions. @greenpartyie.bsky.social www.greenparty.ie/news/green-p...

The new National Development Plan proposals released today represent yet another retreat from real #ClimateAction by the government greenparty.ie/news/governm... #NDP @hazelchu.bsky.social @rodericogorman.bsky.social @pidgeon.ie

What a super day of free classes at the Marina. 😍 From yoga to zumba to face yoga... something for everyone. I love community events like this where people get to check out what's going on in the area and all for FREE. Well done @greystoneswellnesshub 😃. Excited to see what happens next!

Speaking to Newstalk this week about the chaos at our beaches when the sun shines. It's the same year in year out and yet the NTA don't take any action. An easy, quick solution would be shuttle buses from towns to the beaches, making the journey a lot more pleasant. @greenpartyie.bsky.social

We all saw the overflowing bins at the weekend....not pleasant! The good news is that I have secured extra bins for key locations over the rest of the summer. So hopefully this will help Big thanks due to the Council who had this cleared quickly this morning.

Thrilled to be elected as Cathaoirleach of Greystones Municipal District with Cllr Mark Barry as Leas Cathaoirleach. Thanks to Cllt Fortune who held the chains of office for the past 12 months. Looking forward to working with community groups, especially young people, across the area.

Awards presentation at the Sporting Greystones FC mini World Cup 😍 What an amazing community event this morning. ⚽️ The medals and trophies were a bonus, but the real winners were all the Sporting Greystones Community.

Why are women stepping away from local politics and why aren't they being replaced by women? It's time for mandatory quotas in Local Government. Read my latest statement on www.greystonesguide.ie/wicklow-need... @greenpartyie.bsky.social #genderequality #localgovernment

Ah here, what century are we in @camogie.bsky.social ? And we wonder why so many girls and women stop playing sports..

We’re pleased to announce that Roderic O'Gorman TD @rodericogorman.bsky.social has been re-elected as Leader of the Green Party. Alongside newly-elected Cathaoirleach Cllr. Janet Horner @janetphorner.bsky.social, he is focused on rebuilding our strength to win back seats and drive real change.

No one should ever feel "traumatised" after seeking healthcare. Staggering we are still saying this in 2025. @investigates.thejournal.ie www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

Thanks to Wicklow Times for reporting my thoughts on the lack of public transport from Bray, Greystones and surrounding towns to Dublin Airport. #wicklow

Beach cleaning, coffee and boules in the sun, while checking the London Marathon results! #running #londonmarathon2025

United Against Racism @greenpartyie.bsky.social @younggreens.ie

Trans Rights are Human Rights. That's all. #transrights @greenpartyie.bsky.social

Still no direct airport link for North Wicklow. 🚫 NTA won’t meet with Councillors 🚫 Kilmacanogue stop not accessible This is a public transport failure affecting 60,000+ people in the area. I’ll continue to push the NTA for a proper solution. #Wicklow #NTA #TransportEquality #AirportLink

Sinn Féin is leaving trans people behind again in a further shift to the right. We call on all parties to stand with the trans community during this difficult time.

Do better.

👇CLIFF WALK UPDATE👇Consultants due to be appointed by the end of this month/early May. Once this is done we can start to get information on short term solutions ( if any are feasible) to reopen the cliff path. This will be along with as more complex longer term solutions. This is welcome progress.

Full house at the second local Climate Forum held on Saturday. Great to hear the different initiatives from sports clubs, business and local community groups. Lots of actions planned so watch this space! Thanks to Wicklow County Council Climate team for organising #ClimateAction #grassroots

Delighted to be appointed Green Party Spokesperson for Children & Equality. I’ll be pushing for stronger services & a fairer future for all. #Childcare #Equality #Wicklow

The Government should be doing all in its power to support the people of Palestine and to secure peace and justice for all in the region. The Occupied Territories Bill is on the table – it can and should be progressed.

Lovely to chat with Adrien Kennedy and my co conspirator Anna Mazzarotto on @eastcoastFM about our community growing project

In a world gone absolutely bananas I'm sharing squinty eyed pics of me celebrating projects I've been working on for ages (years in some cases!) Boules pistes ✅️ Accessible pathway ✅️ Plot 2 Plate community gardening ✅️ That's all 💪 #gardening #wicklow #community

Never been more important to hold the Government to account. We're witnessing the dismantling of democracy elsewhere, let's not follow suit.

Beach clean up this Sunday. All welcome to join! #greystones #wicklow

Pass the Occupied Territories Bill. www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

Very excited that this community gardening project has finally been funded 💪 I've been working on this for a while, along with Anna Mazzarotto. Whether you are a beginner or experienced gardener, with a small balcony or large plot, this is the course 4 u! Pls email [email protected]

Happy St Patrick's Day! 🍀 A lovely morning walking with @greystonestidy 😀 Huge thanks to @greystones.ie and all the volunteers for organising a wonderful parade! #stpatricksdayparade #stpatricksday #Greystones #Wicklow

Grt night at @wicklowcoco.bsky.social awards last night. Clean Coasts NW recognised for coastcare and @greystonestidytowns volunteers in many categories, including our local Champion Dave Emmerson. Fantastic work being done across the County. #wicklow #Greystones

Plotting and planning with @justtransition.green on #IWD

Disgraceful but no surprise when a narcissist is handed the reins of power.

The planned cancellation of the Aircoach service from Greystones and Bray is simply unacceptable in my view. We are poorly enough serviced by public transport as it is. I've written to the NTA to express my concerns and re iterated the need for a meeting with local representatives.

Glad to contribute to this article about the Cliff Walk and express some of the frustration around the on-going closure. Unfortunately Councillors aren't included in the much talked about Task Force so I eagerly await to hear the plan of action . #wicklow #Greystones www.rte.ie/news/leinste...

I can't figure out why the L3 terminus is placed here. I have reported to the NTA and also raised at Council meeting. I have been told that it is being looked at. I have also asked that the NTA meet with Councillors ASAP. I'll keep you posted with any more updates. #wicklow #Greystones

Thank you to @Stdavidsholyfaithgreystones for inviting myself and Lianne, Biodiversity Officer with Clean Coasts, for a workshop with their students. I shared about all the litter we've collected and the importance of minding our beaches and marine environment. Every day is a learning day!

A piece I wrote expressing the frustration I feel about how we are treating femicide. Three women murdered in Jan. It should be top priority for the Govt. It is an emergency. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Just 7 more women compared to 2020 and only 3 female cabinet ministers. Serious conversations needed this. With a male dominent political system, who is going to drive this change? I hear silence in the corridors of power. @women4election #Dail www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Trinity Seanad Voters don't forget to post back your ballots before 25th! I'm asking for your Number 1 Vote to make sure we have progressive voices in the Oireachtas! #politics #irish #climatechange #womeninpolitics #politics #Seanad2025

Over a year since I first lobbied the Council to bring e bikes to Greystones, and we finally have the green light! Moby have been awarded the tender to roll out e bikes across Greystones, Bray, Wicklow and Arklow. Proposed date Mar 1st. www.greystonesguide.ie/the-moby-its...

The whiff of entitlement off of this is staggering. Talk to the people living in direct provision, families in emergency accommodation in hotel rooms, people in tents and on the street about the difficulties of staying in a hostel for the odd night. m.independent.ie/irish-news/s...
