I've just signed this petition to keep the passenger cap at Dublin Airport to protect our climate and our children's futures. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/ke... @uplift.ie

#ShowYourStripes Our actions matter. Support climate actions to reduce fossil fuels and damaging practices: Ireland is not on track to meet its 2030 targets. We need to keep pressuring our leaders to fulfil the commitments they've made on our behalf in the Climate Action Plan. #ClimateActionNow

Spread of misinformation stokes anger about Carlow school safety and active travel project -- Rumours of compulsory purchase of gardens and driveways spread at meeting organised by Independent Ireland councillor, but plan only includes public roads and green areas....

It's worth saying -- misinformation is still being spread about this project: NTA confirms that it supports approved Tallaght Village project as councillors highlight spread of misinformation irishcycle.com/2026/06/15/n...

People here didnt want a greenway for fear of anti social behaviour.

Another beaver success story! If you’re a nature lover, I highly recommend the book "Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter” by @bengoldfarb.bsky.social I read it several years ago and now I am solidly Team Beaver.

This used to be concrete

€200,000 spent on ornate gates for greenway needed for safety, council claims, but many gates installed at driveways and cul-de-sacs -- In most cases, the council has installed four stop signs and four shared path signs at each junction....

People want to cycle - even when it means going through a junction like Hanlon's Corner Imagine how many more people would be on their bikes, if we had protected cycle lanes?

Nephew of man run over by woman on ‘cocktail’ of drink and drugs “furious” at victim blaming call to issue €120 fines for non-use of high-vis A nephew of a man who was killed while cycling has called Clare county councillors' motion to criminalise anybody outside of cars not wearing high-vis....

Many people are safe streets advocates, not because they had a fantastic trip to Europe, but because our car culture has had life-altering consequences for them here at home. ​Remember that.

Clearly, there's nowhere else they could have possibly parked...

There's an indicator species for evaluating the safety of your urban infrastructure, and it's not middle-aged men on bikes. It's women, seniors, and kids feeling safe enough to ride in their everyday clothes.

Aviation industry’s landmark pledges to be net zero by 2050 will probably not now be achieved, airline leaders admitted Admission is unlikely to surprise environmental campaigners, long regarding pledges & proposed paths to sustainable aviation as greenwashing www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nearly 200km of safe walking and cycling routes planned across four greenways in Donegal Donegal County Council are consulting on four greenways in the county until Friday, June 12th 2026 -- all four are at the Preferred Route Corridor selection options, which will be narrowed down based on…

Never mind the cranks, most Irish cycle paths need to be wider Comment & Analysis: Despite the main user complaint about the Clontarf to City Centre cycle path being too narrow for overtaking, there's still a lot of denial about the importance of cycle path width. Those who say some cycle paths…

Doesn't it look lovely the plans for Clontarf Village on Vernon Avenue. Designs will be online 10th June and on Public display 25th June 3-7pm in Clontarf GAA Club. Have been advocating for this since late 90's. The community took part in workshops to feed into this plan.

New column: Now is the ideal time to make fossil fuel phase-out the organising principle of Ireland's energy and economic strategy. My piece in today's @irishtimes.com: www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Here’s a SERIOUS question. What if our property tax system was actually fair, and was based on public costs actually incurred to support housing? What if low density housing had to pay its way, rather than being subsidized by responsible infill housing? What if we stopped incentivizing sprawl?

“So much of urban planning is organised around a guy getting to work as quickly as possible. That's the worldview. The only time I care about the city is when I'm in my car and need to get to work as fast as possible. Looking through that lens is so incredibly toxic.” LISTEN: youtu.be/hUR3rmr845s

Waterford Greenway shows path for other countries to take with “enormous potential” for towns and villages -- Councillor highlights the "enormous potential that greenway infrastructure can bring to rural towns and villages."...

Frustrated by longer waits for the green man at the Blackhorse junction, people are dashing across in front of moving cars. “I know the cycle of the lights and I’m like, ‘I should have gone already,’” said Niamh Stephens on Tuesday.

This is worth reading, for excellent communication & story-telling. “I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more. Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off...” #UrbanTruth From @irishtimes.com

Today is #MakeWayDay A day to realise that when we block footpaths, it makes it difficult for people with disabilities to get around their neighbourhood. @disabilityfed.bsky.social

“Researchers found that breathing more air pollution during pregnancy, infancy and early childhood can slow lung development all the way up to early adulthood. The greatest impact was during adolescence, which is the time when lung growth accelerates.” #AirPollution

Two of out favourite things in the world. Access for everyone.

Co Clare councillor wants €120 fines for people in public without high-vis — he gives an exasperated sigh when asked how it would work -- Everybody outside of cars should be forced to wear high-vis; they are light and easy to carry, says rural councillor. Calls to make high-vis clothing compulsory…

remember the headlines last month when Beaumount Hospital sought expressions of interest on etenders for provision of 500 parking spaces for up to 20 years, an arrangement that would likely cost tens of millions over the lifetime of that contract? me neither

Thank you, AcTPrO. Quick routes and Quiet Streets will be SO welcome! Progress on building a decent cycle network has been painfully slow in the City Council area. We'll be listening at tomorrow's SPC Meeting in City Hall for big ideas for speeding things up. dublin.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s5...

The only speed bumps that work.

Our first directional bicycle light with more on the way.

there is an incredible motornormativity bias with the judiciary in this country. long or lifetime driving bans are apparently seen as incredibly harsh and the latter are rarely if ever imposed, even in cases as awful as this one

This is really a sad case, their poor daughter having to see it happening and losing both of her parents... A stark reminder that motorists running red lights kill up to a few people a year and there's little ever said about it. www.rte.ie/news/courts/...

Look at this island in a lake on the way to Clifden. Massive diversity because sheep and deer can’t swim

🛤️ Emerging preferred route for the Navan-Dublin rail line will be announced next week, according to Minister Buttimer. Good news at last. This version of the #NavanRail officially got underway in Nov 24, with the EPR due in Dec 25 (so just the 6 months behind schedule). Railway Order in 2028. 🧵

Just when smart cities all over the world are moving away from the car, Galway is going all in, becoming more like a Texan city, wrapped in a shawl of roadside retail parks, paved parking lots and long-distance commutes.

We collected thousands of seeds from this magnificent Elm tree today. Wych Elm was once the dominant tree across much of Ireland - what must it have been like to walk beneath these natural cathedrals in our vast wildwoods?

Imagine living in a street without cars in front of the door, but benches, parked bicycles, flower boxes and exuberant greenery against the lovely facades. 😍😍

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

I'm a keen driver myself, but after this morning's commute I do feel that motorists should keep their hobby for when they're not going to slow down the traffic. This isn't the Grand Prix after all

Dublin City needs a directly elected mayor or an active travel tscar. This route stops at the Dlr border. irishcycle.com/2026/04/27/s...
