Sean mooney on how his late father John and uncle Richard found Ireland's oldest wheel technology while cutting turf by sleán in the late 1960s in Roscommon @tocharstories.bsky.social

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

As someone who spends a lot of time talking about European law, it was amazing to see the ECJ in operation for our nitrates case today. Let's hope the ECJ care more about clean water than the Irish government appears to.

This is what you don't hear every time this junktank appears on the BBC. *Why not?* Great exposure by Sam and @desmog.com

Almost all (90%) of Ireland’s natural habitats are in a poor condition, including coastal & freshwater. This is 5% more than 6 yrs ago. 51% are declining while only 9% show signs of improvement. Rather than solutions, govt are adding problems e.g. derogation😞 www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

we knew we were dodging a bullet on this one ...when you think hanging with this bunch and boosting about getting selfies with them is 'non political' #spéirghorm www.thejournal.ie/gareth-sheri...

While Govt welcomes nitrates derogation as 'good day' it works against its own national nature restoration work on the ground and the communities who are achieving success in their grassroots action #spéirghorm

90% of habitats in poor condition - yet #Irish Government welcoming an extension of the nitrates derogation as "a good day" www.rte.ie/news/environ... #Spéirghorm -

I am fascinated by the reference to the Monroe Doctrine in the recent policy paper on Europe and the colonial nature of their tone. It is not surprising but just fascinating and scary. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

why is @news.rte.ie using a discredited platform of disinformation to simply repeat a Met Eireann storm warning - when they already have that information direct from ME? Why is @rte.ie continuing to drive traffic to X ? #spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

'Yes, there's some difficulties there' - Alan Shatter on Gaza today while UN investigation says Israel is conducting genocide and torturing prisoners. He continues to deny any reality of the two years of genocide against Palestinians and ten of thousands dead, particularly children. #Spéirghorm

Nothing happens when a river is destroyed and biggest fish kill - Inland Fisheries Ireland wash their hand of responsibility - no changes proposed or implemented - we need a polluter pays regulation and ability to ensure this can't happen again #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/munster...

Bravo @news.rte.ie - @ebu.ch is ensuring the death of the contest by allowing Israel to participate - its quick action against Russia compared to that against Israel when UN has stated it is conducting genocide shows its double standards. Any nation participating becomes complicit.

We've been collecting stories, songs and memories in the Mountbellew Men's Shed, Galway - just beside the Galway Living Bog - a great group of men - with stories of growing up at the bog and working on it #LoveBogs

"Climate breakdown can be seen in the data" Large swathes of southern Europe are drying up, with ‘far-reaching’ implications #water #climate www.theguardian.com/environment/...

how many have to die before we take road deaths seriously ? We need all island plan to focus on changing behaviour - particularly with men and driving #spéirghorm - I get blasted by male motorists for driving at just below the speed limit and then overtaken at speed in rain on double yellow lines ..

UN review says Israel has a 'de facto policy of torture' - goes hand in hand with genocide www.bbc.com/news/article...

The small landlords who have evicted tenants and put houses up for sale in my old Dublin estate were ('cos I checked) not registered with tenancy board - didn't maintain their properties - so not so sure this is a loss to rental market. www.rte.ie/news/analysi... #spéirghorm

Sally Rooney's books may become 'banned' in UK - due to her support of a pro-palestinian UK advocacy group. Madness #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

This is corporate manslaughter! Every new well that Shell sinks kills more people. Recent cutting-edge work by #climate scientists demonstrates how we can now attribute the deaths that will be caused from individual oil & gas projects... www.nature.com/articles/s44...

What appalling savagery in a public park - people in area must know who did this - and should be reported - it's a beautiful parkland www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

A must-listen piece that does an excellent job of teasing out the psychology, science, and politics of the Nitrates Derogation. As Dr. Elaine McGoff says, “We have a phosphorus solution to a nitrates problem.” Maybe it’s time we started working on the nitrates solution? @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu

You may have heard about Ireland looking for a "nitrates derogation" in the news. But what does it mean? Why are nitrates a problem? Why does the government want Ireland to be allowed to use more than the normal limits?🤔 Read our explainer and take the action. 💙💦🙌 swanireland.ie/nitrates-pol...

For anyone wondering what the public price - in water and ecological quality -of the nitrates derogation is - and how Irish farming is being poorly led for the future - read the EPA report; www.epa.ie/news-release...

When an 'honour" becomes a "dishonour" www.rte.ie/news/connach... #spéirghorm

The endless delay and deflect Govt policy on nitrates - declining to plan an end to derogation - while our water quality, ecology and climate crisis worsens. Farmers are being poorly served in leadership - where's the plan for the future? #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Talk about moving the deck chairs on the Titanic - www.rte.ie/news/2025/11... - Ireland failing in reducing GHG emissions - pretending aviation is somehow carbon neutral is Govt policy - but hey let's put a bill forward to change the name to a FF leader #spéirghorm

#spéirghorm how art and storytelling in nature restoration can opened our eyes, hearts and minds @tocharstories.bsky.social

In thinking about the future of cities, urban planning and housing it's always worth looking back for lessons - this is a piece I did in 2019 with Joe Brady about planning Marino in 1924 for 'This Is Where We Live' soundcloud.com/athena-media.... #housing #cities #dublin #Spéirghorm

Songs are powerful stories that connect us #Mountbellew Men's Shed at the Galway Living Bog let us into their stories and their songs in a revival of the traditional 'rambling house' session @tocharstories.bsky.social @athenamediaie.bsky.social

Beautiful piece by Rory Cobbe about Uaneen Fitzsimons- she's was everything he says within this piece as those of us who worked with us remember her on her anniversary - hard to believe it's 25 years but remember getting the shocking news of her death so well #Spéirghorm www.rte.ie/entertainmen...
