I hear Doonbeg is a particularly ideal spot for wind mills. Make sure they are all in viewing distance from the golf course there.

If only there had been some way for the Irish government to plan and reduce Ireland’s reliance on fossil fuels. Like if we had access to loads of offshore resources to generate renewable energy or something. But we had no idea and nobody mentioned it. #SpeirGorm #ClimateEmergency

A huge betrayal. Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks. And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling. www.lbc.co.uk/article/ed-m...

All stuff we should be doing anyway

Mark Carney, "Israel's invasion of Lebanon is illegal" "It is a violation of their territorial integrity and sovereignty" "We condemn it" Anyone know if that famous human rights lawyer Keir Starmer has condemned Israel for invading Lebanon?

Sweden are going to the World Cup after this qualifying group.

We wouldn’t play sport or have diplomatic or economic relationships with apartheid South Africa. How can the EU and sports organisations justify maintaining friendly relations with apartheid Israel?

Some people and corporations out there really want you to be scared of having more things you need close by. Why do you think that is? #UrbanTruth

I wonder how much FIFA will fine them. 🙄

“Do exactly what I want or I’ll do something that would suit you just fine!” Lindsay Graham, the modern Metternich, there.

A fantastic article. Really captures the benefits of cycling and shows the odd thinking that continues to prioritise cars in our urban soacsa. @joannamarsden.bsky.social

An interesting sign outside Box’d coffee on the carrigrohane road in Cork. To translate “The Guards know that drivers don’t give a sh1t about anyone else so walkers will have to wait longer while we indulge these lads in the idling SUVs.” Small signs of who is important.

The nonsense of expecting public services to be profitable. Some are and they should cross subsidise the others that need it. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

How did VAR not look at Chaulopek for that assault on Szmodics? He was sizing him up and not looking at the ball at all. #Ireland #COYBIG

C’mon Ireland!

Lesson one in how to get a problem dealt with by politicians.

Interesting experiment on morning ireland with a bike, bus and car commute. The bike was quickest. But what it doesn’t mention is that the bike travel time is also predictable. The same car and bus journeys tomorrow could be a little better or a lot worse. #SpeirGorm www.rte.ie/news/2026/03...

“Drive slower”. They can’t imagine that you might not drive at all.

Unbelievably, a number of EU leaders want to use the war in the Middle East to withdraw from climate goals, when accelerating the switch to renewables is the obvious course. Spain's Pedro Sanchez seems to be the only one calling this out. euobserver.com/207696/spain...

I’m sure the Japanese Prime Minister sitting next to him is well able to think about nuclear weapons.

Holy shit. The silence when he says it.

#Parking on junctions puts #children at risk. They are lower on their #bicycles than adults and can't see past the obstacle. Their reaction times are slower and its harder for them to judge distances. When you think of other road users, think of children. #Bikeability #activetravel

It was important for Bohs to acknowledge their supporters before the game, because they had travelled so far. Think it’s called shithousery.

At a St. Patrick's Day breakfast at Gracie Mansion, Mayor Mamdani notes that Irish politicians, like former President Mary Robinson, have long stood in "solidarity" with Palestinians. He praises the Irish for their "resistance" and "unity."

It’s hardly surprising that Trump has no respect for the EU when they continually act with no self-respect. The Strait of Hormuz was open until the US and Israel attacked Iran. The quickest way to reopen it is to get the US and Israel to stop their attacks.

London is considering charging SUV drivers extra to use the roads. Why? Because the evidence shows that SUVs endanger other road users. 🚴‍♂️🚶 But if SUVs are dangerous enough to charge extra to own… why not stop advertising them in the first place? 🧵 1/7

Does “specific defensive operations” include bombing “for fun”? Trump threatens more Kharg Island strikes 'just for fun' www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

Think Commissioner Kallas is missing “some”. If some governments attack their own people, silence journalists, and curtail freedom, there are consequences.
