I was in Mallow yesterday speaking to young people from Ireland, Belgium, Spain, about Policymakers & Active Citizenship. Positive & constructive discussions took place & I welcomed the idea of introducing or having young people represented at the local authority level. They are our future.

Huge congratulations to @hazelchu.bsky.social on your election as Deputy Leader of the Green Party. And sincere respect to @cllrmarianne.bsky.social for a strong, principled campaign. Wishing you both well as we work together for a fairer, greener Ireland.

Thanks Steven Fox and Cork Independent for reporting my recent experiences with online abuse and racism. I'm very grateful for the support of Cllr Dan Boyle and Cllr Ted Tynan in this article. Racism has no place in our community or in any community.

Thanks Eoin Shortiss and @corkbeo.bsky.social for their reporting of this important issue. The Government needs to introduce stronger law to regulate online platforms. We need to show more solidarity to each other online and in our lives. Thank you again for all your support.

Thanks John O'Shea and @echolive.bsky.social for their excellent report on this important matter. I want to see urgent, stronger laws from the government, action from online platforms, and public solidarity. Thank you all for the support shown to me and my family.

I want to say this clearly. The racist comments I’ve experienced online are not just upsetting, exhausting, or unpleasant. They are dehumanising. And that has a real impact, not just on me, but on others who see them and recognise themselves in them. 1/5

Thank you Kevin Galvin and the Irish Independent for covering this story. I want to say again that I will not give up. I will never let down those who elected me. I will continue my job as a councillor and I will stand and represent the people and be their voice.

Thank you Harry McGee at @irishtimes.com for covering the racial abuse I receive online. I want to say again that I will not give up. I will never let down those who elected me. I will continue my job as a councillor, and stand and represent the people and be their voice.

After my clinic yesterday, I attended the Palestine protest in Cork, despite the cold and rainy weather. What’s happening in Palestine, the killings and ongoing genocide, is far more devastating than an uncomfortable day in the rain.

I just finished my January monthly clinic at the Mahon Community Centre. Thank you for coming and you and my next clinic will be on again here on February 21st from 10am - 12 noon.

I’m bringing a motion to Cork City Council to tackle speeding on the Moneygourney Road. Low-cost, proven traffic measures are already working in Ballyduff, Co. Waterford. There is no harm in copying what works. Let’s make this road safer for everyone.

Absolutely insane and plainly coordinated racist onslaught on my party colleague, Honoré Kamegni. Under a post about his efforts to set up a community garden in an area affected by antisocial behaviour. Pitiful cowards, hyped up by a wave of transnational populist nationalist muck.

Racist abuse online is exhausting, but it won’t distract me from serving Cork. I’m grateful for the solidarity shown. It reminds me that respect and inclusion are stronger than hate. Thank you to Neil Prendiville and Redfm for having myself and Cllr Dan Boyle on yesterday to talk about this.

This busy greenway from Blackrock to Passage West is used every day by workers, cyclists, families, and visitors. I’m bringing a motion to Cork City Council to add additional public toilet facilities. I look forward to bringing this motion before Council & encouraging my colleagues to support it.

Thanks to Eoin Shortiss and @corkbeo.bsky.social for covering my upcoming motion at Cork City Council to establish a new 24-hour homelessness support centre in Cork city. Cork must be a living city that supports everyone. People sleeping on wet floors in winter is not acceptable. We must do better.

@cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social has more integrity, work ethic, dedication and intelligence in his little finger than these miserable scumbags have in their entire sorry bodies. It’s a pleasure to know him and 💯 solidarity!

I’ve proposed, and Cork City Council has agreed, to ask the Minister for Housing to give councils stronger powers to buy derelict sites and tackle long-term blight in our city. This will help bring these neglected buildings back into use. Thanks to the Cork Independent for reporting this.

I’ve brought a motion to Cork City Council calling for urgent action with the HSE to fast-track Cork’s first 24-hour day care centre for people experiencing homelessness. This means safety, dignity, healthcare and support and a safer city for everyone. This is practical action. This is the Cork way.

Honoured to be nominated by members from across the island of Ireland for the Green Party Deputy Leadership election. In the face of climate breakdown, housing crisis, rising inequality, and global uncertainty, the Greens are needed more than ever. www.thejournal.ie/green-party-...

Great to see two strong candidates running, personally I will be voting for Hazel.

190 lives were lost on Irish roads last year. Every life matters. That’s why I am calling for 30km/h limits across Cork City and a real commitment to Vision Zero. Slower speeds save lives. 'The Faster the Speed. The Bigger the Mess."

Great news for Ballinure Place. Following concerns from residents about anti-social behaviour, I brought a motion to Cork City Council for a community garden and it has passed. Thank you to the residents who engaged with us and thanks to my City Council colleagues and staff.

I welcome this appointment, and I would like to wish Barry the Best of Luck in his new role. Also, thank you to his predecessor, Ger Nash, for his time at club and hard work.

I would like to thank Amy Campbell @echolive.bsky.social for her excellent report about Councillors activities in Council from June 2025. Well done to all of us. I will continue to represent and follow up with issues raised to me by residents.

We handed out flyers to residents in Ballinure Place & Ballinure Lawn to let them know about the new community garden that will be developed in the coming months. This follows my recent and successful motion to Council seeking improved amenities in the area. Great chats with lovely residents today.

I was overwhelmed to be out this morning cleaning with the Mahon Tidy Towns. I love this beautiful community.

Back in council last night. My motion seeking a review of the traffic lights at the three junctions around Eamon de Valera Bridge, Patrick’s Quay and Camden Place will now return to committee for further consideration. I’ll continue to push this issue for the benefit of everyone using our streets.

Thanks to the @echolive.bsky.social for reporting on my decision along with my @greenpartyie.bsky.social colleagues to leave X/Twitter. Twitter/X is now something I cannot in good conscience be associated with.

Thanks Cork Independent for reporting my decision to leave X/Twitter. There are serious questions to be asked about where we are going as a society when a company that controls such a large share of public discourse can descend to this level with what appears to be near impunity.

Despite the cold morning, it was great to be out today helping to clean up our community with Mahon Tidy Towns. I was especially proud following our fantastic recent IBAL ranking, 18th nationally! An outstanding achievement and a true credit to everyone involved. Let’s keep up the great work!

I’ve decided to leave X. The platform’s direction including the misuse of AI & ongoing abuse makes it untenable to remain. You can still connect with me here on Bluesky, and also on Instagram & Facebook: instagram.com/cllrhonorekamegni facebook.com/honorekamegni/ Thank you.

No one should be sleeping on our streets in this freezing weather. We at Cork City Council must act faster to prevent this and urgently bring derelict buildings and homes back into use to house people. Thank you, Donal O’Keeffe, for your excellent report on this vital issue.

🚨 Estate Clean Up! If your estate would like Mahon Tidy Towns to help do a clean up, please contact them at [email protected] with a date, contact name and number. What a brilliant idea to start off 2026!

Happy 2026 to everyone! May it be filled with health, happiness, growth, peace and new opportunities! Here's a round-up of my 2025 with much more to come in 2026!

Great news in Cork! This derelict building is being transformed into a hotel. Exactly the action we need for all vacant properties. My recent council motion calls for compulsory purchase powers to bring hundreds back to life. Well done!

Standing in solidarity with the Abolish Direct Provision campaign here in Cork. As someone who came to Ireland seeking asylum, I know how wrong this system is. It’s time for dignity, independence and the right to work for all.

As 2025 comes to a close, I want to thank all my constituents for your support. I’m delighted to confirm that work will begin this spring to restore the John Burke statue in Blackrock, bringing this important landmark back to life. Merry Christmas & a prosperous New Year to you and your families.

Dereliction in the middle of a housing crisis is not acceptable. I brought a motion to Council to give Cork City Council real powers to bring long-vacant buildings back into use for people who desperately need homes. Let’s bring these buildings back to life

Residents’ safety comes first. Heavy goods vehicles should not be driving through the housing estates near Hibernian Buildings. I raised this issue at Council, and I’m pleased to confirm works will begin this January. I also want to see new reduced speed limits here.

I am proud that Cork City Council has voted to support the national campaign to end Direct Provision and stand up for dignity, rights & real integration for people seeking protection. Thank you Stephen Fox at Cork Independent for this excellent report.

I was at the Christmas Bazaar in the Mahon Community Centre today. Massive Turnout despite the unfriendly weather conditions. Well done to the sponsors& organisers. Great community spirit there today!

I was delighted to be out today cleaning along the coast with the Blackrock Clean Up Group, our last Clean Up for 2025. Proud to be part of this fantastic family. Well done, and Happy Christmas to us all 🎅

Honoured and genuinely overwhelmed to attend the launch of 'Leading the Way' in City Hall yesterday evening. A huge congratulations to its co-authors, Aodh Quinlivan, John Ger O’Riordan, and Ann Twomey, on this inspiring piece of work.

Thanks to @pjcoogan.bsky.social for having me on 96FM on Monday to discuss the senseless vandalism of the Mahon Bus stop and the effect it has on our community and commuters.

Stop deportation! We want stamp 4! I attended the Abolish Direct Provision rally today in front of Leinster House. Massive turnout today. Great meeting with Paul Murphy TD . Thank you all for braving the cold weather.

I was delighted last weekend to join the Ukrainian, Romanian, & Mexican communities for their United Communities Christmas Party. Thanks to everyone who took part and organised this wonderful coming together at such a special time of the year.

I attended the final council meeting of the year 2025 last night. It was great meeting with Cllr Dan Boyle and other fellow councillors as well. My motion on "Abolish Direct Provision" was passed after a long debate and a vote on it. Thank you all for your support.

I am in Aldi Blackrock for the Mahon Tidy Towns Bucket Collection Day. Two days of collecting today and tomorrow. Great support from the community. Thanks to the Aldi Blackrock management team for supporting and facilitating us. Well done to all of us!

I was delighted to attend the Board of Directors of Cork Sport Partnership in County Hall today, followed by the Active Community Awards. Congratulations to all the winners. Great community spirit and great to meet with the City and County Mayors. Well done to everyone involved.

I will attend the Mahon Tidy Towns Annual Bucket Collection day this weekend in Cork. I encourage everyone to join and support support this great cause. Any little will help. Thank you!
