I don't know if the problem is unwillingness, incompetence, or laziness, but the Minister for Road Safety has to take responsibility for the consequences of his inaction, and resign.

Where is the emergency legislation?

The online portal to submit dashcam footage of dangerous driving is delayed again. The gov cancelled the camera enforcement pilot last year. The draft strategy to roll out camera enforcement around the country has been sitting on Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social's desk since May 2025.

Taxing cycling is just a silly idea and it should be derided, not debated irishcycle.com/2023/03/16/t...

It's amazing the difference a filter makes.

Stop acting like a sociopath: Holding a phone when driving -- even when stopped -- is illegal, and it's just not for fun irishcycle.com/2026/02/14/s...

That’s THIS Saturday 👍🚲

Artists turn to Dublin’s forests exploring community & the effects of climate crisis. 3 artists commissioned to create work inspired by the Dublin Mountains. https://www.dlrcoco.ie/news/general-news/artists-turn-dublins-forests-explore-community-benefits-and-climate-impacts

Ride in a bike lane and glance into every car that you pass and you'll see an extremely high percentage of people staring at their phones. It's terrible and frightening

Join us this Saturday as we stand together for safe cycling paths and safe crossings for our children and our community. Let’s make Cabra safer for all. Saturday 21 February 2026 11am–12pm Outside Go Petrol Station, Old Cabra Road #SaferStreets #ConnectingCabra #Cabra #CommunityAction

Fossil fuels must be phased out as early as by 2029, with "limited to no opportunity for new investments in fossil fuel systems" Our tax system "supports use of fossil fuels through environmentally harmful subsidies ... This is inconsistent with Ireland’s climate objectives"

Ireland No. 1 in Europe - yet again. GHGs rose faster (+3.2%) in Ireland in Q3 2025 than ANYWHERE else in Europe. #Climate action, my eye.

Pretty much the most important thing happening in the world right now. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

I know some people will be unhappy with this article, but the article is me trying to stick to the facts as much as possible. My views are even stronger on how poor some of the details are. Dublin Town etc are right that it should be trialled first so that the council can work out the details.

An appalling proposal is hidden at the end of the Government’s Bill on the airport cap; it would exclude decisions under the legislation from the current obligation on almost all public bodies to consider their climate impact and to be consistent with climate objectives.

Hello Bluesky! 🌟 We’re delighted to welcome you to the official Dún Laoghaire‑Rathdown County Council account. Follow us here for the latest updates, local news, events & everything happening across the county. Looking forward to connecting with our community on this new space!

Drivers: If you're waiting for a cyclist to pass so you can come out of a side road, edging forward is a great way to slow the cyclist down since it signals to them that you're not in full control of your car and that they need to be extra careful.

Screen Time.

Dublin City Council has published the pre‑planning design for #GrowCollegeGreen. The updated design creates a safer, greener&more accessible public space–shaped by thousands of submissions and extensive engagement since 2024. Open until 11 March 2026. Have your say→ engage.dublincity.ie

Read our open letter to the Taoiseach and Climate Minister, arguing that there is no legal or scientific justification for delaying Ireland's Climate Action Plan. It's urgently needed to close the carbon budget delivery gap this decade, and further delays will increase overall costs.

The Minister for Climate to seek Cabinet approval this morning to lift the passenger cap that is in place at Dublin Airport. A move that will dramatically increase emissions, worsen climate change, and harm human health.

Live in Fingal and wish you could push your kids out to play on the street? The council says it wants to hear from you.

“Strategic importance” of air travel pushes all else aside; there’s no need for planning apprently Comment & Analysis: News coverage of the lifting of the Dublin Airport’s passenger cap is missing one phrase, and no, I’m not referring to climate change. It’s missing that as well, but I’m thinking…

4 stories in the @irishtimes.com highlight the crazy approach to climate action by the government. 3 articles detailing the heavy financial & social cost of climate breakdown, and 1 where the govt celebrates increasing climate emissions for the airport by lifting the passenger cap. 🤯 #SpeirGorm

As developer plans a new community with hundreds of drive-up homes, a councillor suggests another vision. “It’s not that the people who live there don’t have cars,” he says. “It’s that the neighbourhood is not a car park, and the car parking is on the edge.”

This is a shocking blow to Ireland’s climate ambitions.

Nerve as well as lung damage is caused by air pollution. Reduce brake dust, diesel fumes and PM2.5s! And monitor those hot spots in Dublin!

Wow this is really awesome.

The Distance. My entry into the Super Bowl ad mix.

A requirement that cyclists wear helmets and hi-vis would be a challenge for bike-share companies. The government seems to be considering making helmets and hi-vis mandatory for people using some category of bikes, though it’s not totally clear which.

In Beaumont, students work to make a big impact on the environment through little changes. In order to ensure the continuation of life on this planet, everybody has to get involved, says Grace Collier, a member of the school’s Eco Committee.

As the years pass, the sea rises and nothing is built, some begin to doubt the council can defend Clontarf and Sandymount from the tides. “The current state structures cannot deliver,” said Labour Councillor Dermot Lacey. A council manager disagreed: “We can deliver and we will deliver." (2023)

Don't make any unnecessary journeys!

Tell me again how cyclists without helmets is the problem www.rte.ie/news/leinste...

Great to see a cycle lane appearing on Mountown rd.

Reducing - and enforcing - speed limits for ALL vehicles to 30km/hr in urban areas & cameras to detect cars breaking traffic lights would save scores of lives annually, but it might annoy some motorists so instead we get this performative BS from gov’t. www.thejournal.ie/e-bikes-scoo...

In and around Deputy Fitzmaurice blowing a gasket live on-air, I did manage to squeeze in a few points relating to #flooding and nature-based solutions last night.

Huge gratitude to our sisters + brothers in @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social, @ibike.ie, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @cyclingireland.bsky.social + others for fronting to giving real evidence to Oireachtas Committee this morning! ⭕ 30km/h limits DEFAULT 🦺 RSA not fit fur purpose 🚨 Enforcement FAILING

Fucking gombeens. Love to be seen to do something and it's inevitably the stupid knee-jerk wrong thing rather than the more difficult necessary evidence based thing that will upset some of their gombeen friends

It’s time for more scrutiny of swapping grass pitches for astroturfs, some councillors and academics say. The change may mean the pitches can withstand more use, but it also means they won’t absorb as much rain, or sustain as many creatures, they say.

Great localized reporting led by @shaunacorr.bsky.social Here’s the Dublin report. The sentence that screamed out at me was: “In south county Dublin, data centres and commercial facilities generate 46pc of emissions.”! Crazy stuff! #SpeirGorm

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream. One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it. Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.

Big improvement on Leopardstoen rd. However it should br continous red to make it safer. @dlrcc.bsky.social
