It was a wet weekend, but Janet Horner's supporters came out in great numbers to go canvassing with her because she would make such an excellent TD for Dublin Central. Give her your number 1 vote on May 22nd! @janetphorner.bsky.social

We had a fantastic evening for our #BikeWeek Sunset Cycle yesterday. 5km through the Phoenix Park with great vibes, great company and @ibike.ie providing the tunes! Many thanks to everyone who showed up! #ActiveTravel

Far less controversial than Eurovision. We’ve launched a petrol-propaganda song competition: FossilVision.com Please vote for my entry “Bang Bang Drilly Drilly Bomb” Or “Drill It Just Like That” Or “Just a Wildfire” The results are rigged so you can’t really go wrong.

Thank you for highlighting this. Just received the purchase instruction - €500 for the device for only two years of senior cycle. So unnecessary and wasteful.

Join Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council for a scenic, car-free 5km sunset cycle through the Phoenix Park. This family-friendly event is free to attend, but advance registration is required. Date: Wednesday, 13 May Register here: https://f.mtr.cool/epzuwsamwf

V good article: "The reason our European peers have seen a 12 per cent drop in road deaths since 2019 in the same time we have seen a 31 per cent rise in ours is because we simply are not using the evidence-based solutions that already exist." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Kick off bikeweek.ie with the 3rd edition of the much-loved Phizzfest Community Cycle! Bringing friends and families together for a fun, colourful ride through the streets of Phibsborough. #Phibsborough #BetterByBike #BikeWeekDublin @dublincycling.bsky.social @ibike.ie @bfcdublin.bsky.social

I’ve noticed an interesting difference between driving and biking. When you are driving, you can’t wait to stop. Always looking for faster routes, shortcuts and ways to get out of your car quicker. On a bike it’s exactly the opposite. We often find ourselves taking the long route just for fun.

Just spent the day at Dunsany Castle to see the rewilding project and it is gorgeous. Two beautiful kites circling above.

What did a changing climate look like in Ireland in 2025? The Council’s report highlights a year marked by record wind, dry spells, drought pressure and heavy rainfall. See the year at a glance in 'Our Changing Climate' at shorturl.at/ORv9s

Love these stories. Such cool and useful ideas. Genuinely wish I had more innovation/engineering skills. Trash to treasure: The Irish ecopreneurs upcycling waste into food, furniture and more www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more

Obviously I went to browse in @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social NOT needing any more books in my house 🤷‍♀️ But I really really love the @dublincityoflit.bsky.social One Dublin One Book initiative and once you start it's impossible to stop at one... May need some German books to intersperse though.

Feeling very lucky that I get to enjoy mini starling murmurations above my house every evening before they all drop into a neighbour's tree!

Government must prioritise sustainable transport in any emergency relief funding The solution to the rising cost of oil will never be tax reduction. It’s better cycling infrastructure, more frequent & reliable public transport and Work from Home measures

AS BAD AS EACH OTHER The Strait of Hormuz is much in the nuz. How I wish it were not – I’d regime change the lot.

Wow. If only Irish politicians would make a speech like this. From Connolly and Pearse to the hunger strikers and Mary Robinson. Amazing. #SpeirGorm #FreePalestine

A few of us from Dublin Friends of the Earth (alongside amazing Fridays for Future regulars) protesting against the government further abdicating its climate obligations with the Private Wires Bill.

Very grateful for the magnolia in my garden this time of year.

The Government is trying to further abdicate its climate obligations with the Private Wires Bill www.friendsoftheearth.ie/news/28-civi... Protest Friday to demand the Government reinstates the moratorium on data centres and stops the big tech power grab! 1pm Friday 13 March outside the Dáil

Submitted comments now. Can't wait to see College Green pedestrianised and greened and cycle there for a coffee!!!

Excellent! So let's build those lanes quickly and aim for another big % increase!!!! 🚲🚴🚲

Are these steel bollards of children creepy, yes. Are they doing their job, also yes. As always. The children are the front line in pedestrianized safety.

I am so angry at the current billionnaires and ultra-rich that this was a nice antidote to read. My first job was with an NGO supported by Atlantic Philanthropies. That funding made a real difference. And nice to know he is laid to rest nearby in Glasnevin. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Enjoyed filling this in - since it asks about things I care about, like greening the city, and arts, and how I feel about cycling here! 🌳🎭🚴

Lovely morning. Blue sky and yellow daffodils outside my window; blue skies and gold medals for Germany on the telly 🙂

Could so relate to this. Thinking about loss of snow makes me incredibly sad. It is the calmest and happiest I ever feel, skiing on a gently downhill forest path. I can't describe it. Or childhood memories of birthday parties iceskating on a frozen lake. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Yay, sparrowhawk over for a visit!! The joys ot being home sick and looking out the window all day. That makes 18 species in my city garden this winter so far. #gardenbirdsurvey
