Alarm set for early start & cross-country drive to Galway #Climate Festival tomorrow morning. Will be in the Big Top Festival Tent from 11-12 to discuss THE LIE OF THE LAND in a public interview with Dr Patrick Collins, UCG. Drop by if you're in town. galwayclimatefestival.ie/the-lie-of-t...

www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic... A fairly clear explainaton of the city councils lack of interest in any public transport. It si the ring road or nothing for Galway - I am worried we will end up with nothing.

🔥Sustained heat in summer is here to stay That's why it's important our health service understands the impact of extreme heat on our vulnerable populations Today @rodericogorman.bsky.social called on the Taoiseach to mandate the HSE to record this, so that it can plan accordingly for the future

www.irishtimes.com/business/202... As predicted, untargetted tax cuts on fossil fuel have benefited the rich more than the poor. The fuel protesters and politicians from Independent Ireland and Aontu asked for these tax cuts - and ffg provided them 1/2

It was a pleasure meeting so many constituents during the campaign at doors or at events. I learned a lot and enjoyed it all. It was sa privlidge to campaign in Galway West.

Tomorrow is bye-election day in Galway West!

A clip on the Green Party public transport solutions,and the lack of investmen by the current government. From the Galway Bay FM Bye-Election debate held on 18 May 2026

I will be on the Galway Bay FM Bye Election debate later today ( Monday 18 May) at 6pm. www.galwaybayfm.ie/galway-bay-f...

For years the Gardaí refused my requests for information on the type of road users injured in accidents in Galway. It was a nonsense GDPR answer. This infomation is now available on the RSA website at www.rsa.ie/road-safety/... Not surprising that most serious injuries are to pedestrians.

Ballymoneen Road Upper needs a bus - and the NTA are now telling us it won't happen until after the ring road. It is absurd that simple public transport is being held ransom to the ring road.

I was on Galway Bay Fm recently discussing Fox Hunting, and I made the case for banning this cruel 'sport'

My piece in today's @galwayadvertiser.bsky.social highlights that point that most candidates are claiming to support #gluas but only the Greens have done something about it. How many other candidates would be supporting the GLUAS if they had to decide between light rail and the ring road? 1/2

Minister Darragh O'Brien on @rteprimetime.bsky.social says that new data centres have to be powered by 80% renewables under new CRU regulation. He forgot to mention that this kicks in after 6 years. Meanwhile these data centres are planning to connect to gas. www.rte.ie/player/serie... 1/2

There was only one new bus shelter in Galway in 2025. This bus stop in Kingston had a shelter which was damaged in Storm Éowyn, and so even in this spot where we previously had a shelter we are failing to replace it. Across the country this government is failing to build bus shelters.

More wind and less oil/gas - the answer is obvious. The question is why the government is heading int he wrong direction. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Galway Advertiser, with quotes from me, highlights the impact that the Critical Infrstructure Bill will have on our climate targets www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...

I was delighted to put my name on the ballot for the Galway west bye-elecrtion. 17 names in total on the ballot now. So that means lots of transfers so remember to use the PR system and vote for me and then for left candidates in order of preference.

Thanks so much to the gang out canvassing Highfield this evening for the #galwaybyeelection

Pollution levels in Paris after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Since friday the new entrance to Ceannt Station is in use, so enter from the 'other' side of The Hardiman Hotel - this tip will save you the three minute walk I did from the old entrance by the bus parking bays! New entrance looks great.

Today at 5.30 Make your voice heard!

This is how you are supposed to react to high oil prices. We have just been bounced into do itn the opposite. Delaying carbon tax under pressure from the protestors will slow our move away from fossil fuel. In the long run we all lose.

The carbon tax increase is to be delayed until October. This tax is ringfenced for reducing reliance on fossil fuel- the level of irony here is immense. But now that we have taken damaging short term measures, it is vital that we have a conversation about the useful steps we are going to take. 1/3

Speakers at my Flood ebvent on Tuesday: Dr. Indiana Olbert from the College of Science and Engineering in @uniofgalway.bsky.social Ronan O' Reilly, senior executive engineer with @galwaycity.ie will discuss the Corrib go Costa project. Peter Butler is Chairperson of An Taisce Galway Branch

My full pres release on the ring road approval decision is available at greenparty.ie/news/ring-ro...

The ring road permission has been granted by An Coimisiún Pleanála. Here is my take.

Two exciing events next week. On the Tuesday the 14th April I am hosting a talk on Flooding in Galway at the Galway Bay Hotel 8pm. The following day myself and several other by-election candidates will debate traffic congestion at the Park House Hotel 7pm.

I can not believe that Minister Darragh O'Brien went on Prime Time yesterday and claimed that we need LNG in Shannon even more becasue of the oil price crisis. Increasing our reliance on fossil fuels now is the worst possible direction to take - for our economy, and for our climate.

I met up with some of my fellow candidates on Wednesday. Seen here are Mark Lohan (SF), Míde Nic Fhionnlaoich (SocDem), myself,Niall Murphy (Green), Denman Rooke(PBP), Sheila Garrity (Ind) and Helen Ogbu(Lab). Good luck to all ! @denmanrooke.com

Thanks you @galwayadvertiser.bsky.social for highlighting the funding concerns at Leisureland #galway.

As Green Party spokesperson for Balanced Regional Develpment I have made a submittion to the EU Islands Strategy ( www.oilean.ie/news/eu-isla... ). See our the full submission at galwaygreens.ie/assets/pdfs/...

We battled the changing weather to chat climate change! Good to catch up with Deirdre Duffy, CEO of @foeireland.bsky.social We’ve been colleagues and friends since working together in Comhlámh many years ago and then as repealers in 2018!

I joined Galway Palestine Solidarity Campaign at Pearse Stadium today - the GAA have to pay thier bills, but the sponsors they chose reflect the values of those that play and coach. Allianz represents big business funding the Gaza genocide. The GAA can find a better sponsor.

Galway deserves better: public transport, cycle lanes, footpaths, bus stops. #VoteGreen

"The only solution is to cut our reliance on fossil fuels" In this piece I spell out how the government is doing the opposite with their support for an LNG ( Liquified Natural Gas) terminal on the Shannon, and cutting public transport, and allowing new data centres to be powered by gas.

Today we turned out in force to support @niallgalway.bsky.social on the Big Green Canvas for Niall! @rodericogorman.bsky.social @hazelchu.bsky.social joined a team of Greens on a beautiful sunny day in Galway West

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

Thank-you Galway City Tribune for using my favorite photo from the Green Party Convention last weekend. And thank-you to all the other supporters in the photo. @greenparty.ie #galwaybyelection

Deputy @rodericogorman.bsky.social puts it to the Minister for Transport that while infrastructure takes time to build, the new BusConnects bus timetable for Galway already has many of the bus lanes - it just needs funding for buses and drivers. #galwaybusconnects

But we are still going to play them at soccer since they are obviously such good sports.

I will be one of the speakers at this event at 6pm today - please come out and show that Galway and Ireland do not support the continuing rampage of the US and Israeli military

By election candidates and the left are releasing this joint statement of solidarity with Cllr Helen Ogbu following disgraceful online abuse.
