Today, we join people across the island of Ireland in expressing our deepest gratitude to President Michael D. Higgins as he concludes his time in Áras an Uachtaráin. 1/4 👇

To President Michael D. Higgins, on your last day as President of Ireland, we say thank you for your service. #Ireland #Politics #President

Two men who shared a deep understanding and love of our heritage, culture, nature and our language and saw it through a lens of inclusion, a celebration of diversity. A Presidency defined by courage and compassion. Míle buíochas a Uachtaráin agus Sabina. Bain sult as na blianta ciúine. ❤️

We've transformed our city in many ways in the last five years. This street used to be full of cars. Now there's music, laughter, food, people sitting down. Life slows down a little bit on Parliament Street.

Great energy at last night’s Cork Green's AGM with leader Roderic O'Gorman, Cathaoirleach Janet Horner, Cllrs Dan Boyle, Oliver Moran, and Honore Kamegni — and our newly elected committee! 💚 Once you start to act, hope is everywhere. Join today at greenparty.ie

The online Traffic Watch form is completely unfit for purpose in this day and age. The online video portal is needed urgently. There’s a mountain of footage of dangerous drivers from dashcams and bike cameras that would help to get them off the road - @feljin.ie irishcycle.com/2025/11/08/p...

EU's new climate plans could threaten #ClimateAction investment in Europe

Hope is back. New Yorkers have given Zohran Mamdani a clear mandate for affordable housing, fast and frequent public transport, and a climate policy that works for everyone. "This is a good day for progressive politics and challenging the view that might is right.” - @ciarancuffe.bsky.social

Chapelizod is being failed by the NTA. The 80 bus is not good enough. We need a reliable, direct route to the city centre.

Today’s deal falls short of the hope and leadership Europe needs. Instead of fully committing to climate action at home, EU member states added a loophole that lets them count climate projects in other countries towards their emissions targets 🧐 Read more below 👇 www.greenparty.ie/news/eu-2040...

A huge loss. Rest in Peace.

The Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment (CHASE) is mobilising again to oppose the Indaver Ireland incinerator project at Ringaskiddy. Public Meetings: – Wed 5 Nov, Cobh Community Centre, 7.30pm – Thu 6 Nov, Ringaskiddy Community Centre, 7.30pm

I've had another illegal AirBnB in #Dublin shut down. But it's a drop in the ocean. Here's why the system doesn't work - and what we need to do to fix it. youtu.be/lK-VFPGM9q0

Why take accountability for housing failures when you can blame Brussels and bats? 🦇 Watering down environmental and housing standards is not in the best interest of anybody - only developers! greenparty.ie/news/greens-... @oisinoconnor.bsky.social @oliver.ie

I've put in a complaint to the NTA about the huge number of cancellations on the new F3 route. Are there any other issues I should be raising with them?

Domestic violence victims that need to flee dangerous situations cannot afford to be locked out of accessing transport. We were delighted to support our cross-party group’s fourth piece of legislation to establish a free travel scheme for victims and survivors. @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social

Fireworks might be fun for us, but they’re terrifying for many pets. The noise, flashes and smell can cause panic, injury and long-term anxiety. If you’re celebrating tonight, think of the animals. 1/3

Car insurance costs are up 9%, yet profits are down. The way we have set up insurance in Ireland is mad, leading to high legal costs and inconsistent payouts. It leaves consumers paying way over the odds. Time for some reforming zeal from government!

Car insurance premiums are up 9% - yet profits are down in the sector. Costs are spiralling within insurance, there's a clear case for government to reform things, but there's just no energy or zeal for doing it. @greenpartyie.bsky.social statement: www.greenparty.ie/news/greens-...

Great to see funding approved for #BusConnectsCork! Back in March, my Cork City Council motion called on Govt & NTA to make Cork’s new bus network a national priority & bring the 90-min Leap Card fare here. I'm delighted to see progress on these issues for our city!

My reaction to terrible events on Saturday, new ECO toilets were deliberately damaged by fire by persons unknown But this isn't the end we will work to get toilet facilitaties in short, medium & long-term So everyone can enjoy the park amenities & especially keep girls active in sports participation

Good news today that Luas Finglas has been approved by An Coimisiún Pleanála. That's now five big rail projects approved in the last year and no clarity over funding and timelines. The National Development Plan published in July contained no details.

As road fatalities and collisions rise year-on-year, we see plans to lower speed limits abandoned by the Minister of Transport in a pass the buck exercise. 9/10 survive if hit at 30km/h. 3/10 will be killed if struck at 50km/h. @feljin.ie makes the case for a sensible u-turn below 👇

One dead every minute. That is a frightening statistic from the latest climate report in the Lancet, which lays bare the consequences of our addiction to fossil fuels. 1/4 greenparty.ie/news/ogorman...

“We must stand united against hate in all its forms — homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia; whether it manifests in the street, the workplace, the pub, or within our own homes." - Konrad Im, manager of the Gay Project

IrishRail is to be commended for the extra services they have put on for big events recently - I think it shows that there is an appetite for intercity services beyond 8/9pm and later services on commuter routes too. Here's their response on whether these later services could be made permanent

We'll be joining the National #Climate Demonstration on the 15th and want to see you there too. We need to send the message to the government and EU that #ClimateAction is needed now more than ever

There's still time to apply for our new comms officer role - full details in the link below, share with someone you think would be a great fit! #GreenJobs

There’s never been a better time to join the Greens. If you’re interested in protecting nature, revolutionising public transport, delivering truly affordable housing and paving the way towards a future free of fossil fuels, get involved today! 👉 greenparty.ie/take-action

It’s official. Catherine Connolly is our new Uachtarán na hÉireann - with a truly resounding victory in a campaign that has brought hope and unity to the fore once again. 1/3

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly who has been elected the 10th President of Ireland. We were delighted to support this campaign over the last month and her landslide win is proof of the value of a positive, united campaign. #Aras25 #PresidentConnolly #Politics #Ireland #Election

We are in celebration mode already after our tally. What a great cross party team in Dublin Bay North. #catherineconnolly #Aras25 @greenpartyie.bsky.social @rodericogorman.bsky.social

Congratulations Catherine Connolly, our next President of Ireland! Your Green team in Rathdown delighted to have a President that is serious about inequality, the climate crisis and calling out genocide. Final result in Dublin Rathdown: Connolly 51% Humphreys 40% Gavin 9%

Classy comment too from Catherine Connolly: "I want to thank all of my supporters. Actually, I want to thank everybody, even those that didn't vote for me. I understand their concerns in relation to who will represent them best." Two lessons in how to win and to concede an election. 👏👏 #Áras25

I’m tallying Oh My Effing God Community School next 😜

Final Full Tally from Dublin West 💪🏼
