e-scooters marketed at 6 year olds? No thanks! We need to tackle illegal e-scooters at the point of sale instead of trying to play catch-up once they're on the road. The law says it's illegal for anyone under 16 to use them on public roads and that they should be limited to 20km/h.

Tonight SF are bringing forward their legislation that would start the process of planning for the possibility of a constitutional change that would see Ireland return to being a 32 county country. That constitutional change must be by co-design with all sides of the North’s communities involved

Today, Taoiseach Micheàl Martin presented the Irish presidency plans to MEPs . German MEP Terry Reintke called out the Irish Government’s row back on climate action as co-chair of the Greens/EFA grouping, saying they can’t do the same in Europe

"'gold-plated' environmental laws"

This is wonderful!

It’s easier for many to either pretend that climate action isn’t needed, or even effective. But the truth is it does make a difference.

Delivering on his promises. All the buses are ghosting now.

The rollout of new bus services has totally collapsed with this new government - and the NTA confirmed this today at the Oireachtas Transport Committee. This will have a knock-on impact for all phases of BusConnects and the Connecting Ireland rural bus programme.

🔪Today the Government Parties are guillotining both the Dublin Airport Passenger Cap Bill and the Strategic Gas Reserve Bill.

Greyhounds should be treated as pets, not livestock The increase in the number of deaths of dogs in the greyhound sector needs to be examined. The State should not be funding this, and instead funding should be given to transitioning these dogs to loving homes where they can live out their lives.

Dublin Pride was a fantastic show of support for our LGBTQ+ community, a community of activists that our leader and many of our members are so proud to be a part of. #Ireland #Dublin #DublinPride #HappyPride #LGBwiththeT

⚡If we are serious about battery storage and build now, 2 GW of storage could be available in Ireland by the early 2030s, saving us a minimum of €100 million in wasted energy, reducing carbon emissions, while also improving our energy security.

The answer to energy independence isn't locking us into using LNG where price and supply is down to the whims of Iran or the US The Government keeps passing laws that pretend that projects like the LNG facility don't have any climate impact. @rodericogorman.bsky.social spoke to Morning Ireland

🔥Sustained heat in summer is here to stay That's why it's important our health service understands the impact of extreme heat on our vulnerable populations Today @rodericogorman.bsky.social called on the Taoiseach to mandate the HSE to record this, so that it can plan accordingly for the future

Minister Darragh O'Brien met with airlines and their lobbyists regarding the Dublin Airport Passenger Cap Bill, but not with environmental groups. Why is Minister O'Brien ignoring his environment and climate brief and not engaging constructively with these stakeholders?

Where do we even start with this? Have they just given up? Surely they recognise that people are already struggling to pay their bills? jrnl.ie/7079259

My latest monthly newsletter is out now. This month I have updates on: 🚧 The demolition of the Old Cork Prison 📊 Using data about littering on the northside 🧑‍💻 What Cork can do for European tech sovereignty As well as all my motions and questions to Cork City Council for this month.

It’s a pretty detailed draft plan, and I’m quite happy to see a provisional map of a Luas extension to Tyrrelstown being at the centre of the development, as well as better connections to Ashtown and Navan Road Parkway stations (3/4)

Proof that there’s a lack of seating on O’Connell street?

Slow Death of Our Rivers Michael talks to @greenparty.ie Senator Malcolm Noonan listenagain.org?p=61711

Spain’s electricity bills have decreased due to its commitment to renewable energy, reducing the influence of fossil fuels on electricity prices.

Congratulations to @clifdencamping.bsky.social who have been awarded the EU Ecolabel for Tourist Accommodation, which recognises excellence in environmental performance across energy use, water conservation, waste management, biodiversity protection and environmental management

❗While communities are doing their best at a catchment level to put in nature-based solutions and address nutrient runoff, we're not seeing the level of support required from Government to address our water quality issues across our rivers and lakes - @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social

Today's EPA report shows that the water quality in our rivers, lakes and estuaries is deteriorating They are calling for the actions under the Water Action Plan 2024 to be implemented and tracked Read @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social's comments here: greenparty.ie/news/governm...

European resources sent to Russia as they kill Ukrainians? It might sound odd, as the EU has been strong in its support for Ukraine. And yet it is happening, through a loophole in Ireland. That is completely unacceptable and needs to stop immediately.

The 3-day wait imposed on those seeking an abortion was a political decision on what is fundamentally a healthcare issue. This should be treated as such, and opposition parties should be collaborating, not competing on important issues such as this - @rodericogorman.bsky.social

How do we tackle congestion in Dublin? I basically said "better public transport" fifty times over when discussing this question on @newstalkfm.bsky.social's Hard Shoulder earlier today. www.newstalk.com/podcasts/hig...

🚨 Join us next week for a special screening of 'Palestine 36' Hosted by Green Party Cllr Oliver Moran, all proceeds will go to ActionAid Ireland's Gaza Appeal. 📍 Cyprus Avenue 📆 Thu 18 Jun 2026, 19:30 🎫 €10 Tickets on the door or at link below.

The progress is slow but it’s there. In @tgeuorg.bsky.social ’s 2026 report, we see that the communities & activists are pushing for more rights but regressive governments are blocking progress. We will continue to fight until trans people can live in peace.

Almost 1 in 10 clamps placed on cars by Dublin City Council are illegally removed according to figures given to @feljin.ie He joined @paulnews.bsky.social & @franmcnulty.bsky.social on Behind the Story @news.rte.ie to discuss it. Can you guess which of them is a supermarket middle aisle devotee?

Today, Green Party NI and the Green Party of England & Wales stand together. Zack Polanski and Mal O’Hara are united: what is happening in Belfast is not isolated. It is a coordinated far-right pattern - the same faces, the same tactics, the same hatred. 1/2

Government can and should step in to support the FAI to boycott the Ireland - Israel match. Moving the game to a neutral venue behind closed doors is a disservice to fans and the sentiments they have the right to share about the game going ahead.

Delighted to host the only screening of this acclaimed film at Cyprus Avenue in Cork. 📽️ Palestine 36 📍 Cyprus Avenue, Cork 🗓️ 7:30pm, Thursday, 18 June Palestine 36 recounts the events of a defining era for Palestine and anti-colonial revolt. All proceeds going to ActionAid Ireland's Gaza Appeal.

The communion money principle: a slightly tortured metaphor I gave to the Mirror the other day. Ireland is being set up for a fall if we keep relying on windfall corporation tax for daily spending. It doesn't have to be like this! Save and invest in infrastructure instead!

Dereliction is a blight on our city! So many buildings and homes that can be put back to use if we had ambition. Yesterday I challenged Dublin City Council to have that ambition rather than setting a lower bar. #derelict #dereliction #housing #homeless #dublin

Our members are the heart of our party If you want to be part of a national and international movement with social justice at its core, join us.

Ireland has the power to be a leader this week in standing up against Israel's escalating violence. By boycotting the Ireland - Israel match and passing the Occupied Territories Bill in full, a powerful message can be sent globally - @rodericogorman.bsky.social

Another solution to Ireland's heating needs that looks at energy security and energy democracy in one-what's not to like? www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Could this work here? We think so!

For kids of all ages 😉

It's World Environment Day And this year we have more hope than ever as, despite the inaction from Government on environmental issues, more and more people and communities are rallying behind environmental causes. Tell us what's happening in your area x

Ireland is being taken to court by the European Commission over the lack of enforcement of EU rules on peat cutting. Yesterday @smytho.bsky.social spoke to The Hard Shoulder on @newstalkfm.bsky.social about what this court case means, and why regulation of peat cutting is necessary.

It's time to shut the loophole that feeds Irish raw materials from Limerick to Russia’s military industry. It's time for effective EU sanctions. Photo: Alan Betson/The Irish Times europeangreens.eu/news/eu-loop...
