A big step forward today in our fight to hold Big Tech accountable: Meta must face our lawsuit over deliberately designing Instagram to addict kids while downplaying risks their own research showed. Our kids deserve better than companies that profit from their pain.

Some very creative accounting was used to deem the Galway ring road compliant with Ireland's climate plans, writes architect and transport planner Ciarán Ferrie. jrnl.ie/7009217t

Victory rally in Margate this evening *and* an announcement! @greenparty.org.uk now has 225,000 members! That's an extra 25,000 since Hannah Spencer won last month and 2000 new members in the last 10 days. Join the movement! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Sorry, what now? You want the carbon tax abolished and VAT and excise cut, but it transpires that you don’t actually pay your taxes. Right so.

Finally some progress on this issue that have been working on for awhile. Dubliners get a bit more transparency around where some old clothes end up Enable Ireland has the new contract to operate 56 clothes banks in the city. New operator to start on 13th April across @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

There is a Green candidate in EVERY SINGLE BIRMINGHAM COUNCIL SEAT! Every Brummie has the chance to #VoteGreen. For real hope and real change #VoteGreenInBrum on 7 May.

It was good to catch up with Palestinian Ambassador to Ireland Dr Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid again today in Leinster House. Janet, Roderic, and Malcolm were briefed on the latest ongoings in Palestine and reaffirmed our support for passing the Occupied Territories Bill.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks. Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December. So far this year, only one electric HVG was newly registered in Ireland. #fuelprotests #speirgorm

Nooses. Death threats. Some of these “protesters” like the ones who wrote this sign are fascists itching for violence.

Yes, human use is not the only use - and all uses are interdependent.

The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.

There is something very bleak about the threat of annihilation of an entire country filtered disproportionately through the lens of the cost of petrol and diesel. The energy crisis is real and serious but so is the threat to our shared humanity. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

The @greenparty.ie has welcomed the announcement that a “Monument for the Women of the Revolutionary Period” is to be commissioned. Green party Spokespersons on Arts & Culture, Councillor Donna Cooney, is chair of the Dublin City Naming and Commemorations Committee @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

The Green Party now leads the polls in the UK for the first time ever. A groundbreaking moment. The political establishment at Westminster and here at Stormont has failed ordinary people at the benefit of themselves and an ultra wealthy elite. Happy Easter. Hope is here.

Happy Easter from Denton! I was thrilled to meet with Hannah Spencer MP this weekend to discuss both of our bye-election campaigns, the role of green policy in addressing cost of living issues, and the importance of electing green voices to fight for our planet. #SpéirGorm

It was good to meet with Owen Reidy, General Secretary of ICTU this week in Leinster House alongside my colleagues Roderic and Malcolm. #JoinAUnion #WorkersRights #Dublin #Ireland #VoteGreen

The new law on scramblers is welcome. They are dangerous and hostile. But almost every scrambler on our city streets has been illegal before now yet they are still everywhere. So if the law is to mean anything we need more decisive Gardaí action: www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Interesting to note the major exception: Ireland, where native red squirrels are *gaining* ground at the expense of invasive American greys. How? The come back of another native mammal, this one a predator: the pine marten. Making ecosystems functional again is the best cure for invasive species.

Renewables capacity now nearly half of global total. Will be over half by end of 2026 Another signal of change coming “The Middle East ​crisis has confirmed dramatically energy security is not something we can have with fossil fuels” say @irena-official.bsky.social www.reuters.com/business/ene...

✨ Good news ✨ The EU has approved Denmark's €1 billion state aid scheme to pay farmers to give their land back to nature. This means that Danish landowners can voluntarily remove their farmland and forestry from productive use 👉 link.europa.eu/66bcQb #NatureRestoration

Not Farage Oil Since 2019, Spain has doubled its wind and solar capacity, adding over 40 GW - more than any other EU country except Germany, whose power market is twice the size of Spain’s. www.euronews.com/2026/03/11/s...

It can happen, but it requires leadership. Where are our leaders?

Ireland says that it relies on the US military and State Dept. to abide by Irish regulations; so much so that it does not ever police those regulations by for example inspecting US military planes at Shannon Airport. That trust needs revisiting based on this report.

Last year we tried to ban electric shock collars, but were defeated by the SNP, Tories and Lib Dems. These are cruel devices that cause dogs pain and fear. They're already banned in countries across Europe and the world. Scottish Greens elected this year will work towards a ban.

A great week of canvassing, thanks so much to the amazing team who are out with me every day knocking on doors, having valuable and engaging conversations. Special shout out to GPNI and DLR Greens who covered lots of ground in East Wall #DublinCentral #EastWall #NorthCircularRoad #Dublin #VoteGreen

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!

The only complex thing is the knots they will tie themselves into instead of saying, "we don't want to do this"

Ireland’s greyhound industry has failed in its duty of care to the dogs, receiving taxpayers’ money without scrutiny while the Government turns a blind eye, writes Chris Andrews. jrnl.ie/6995306

Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands are boycotting Eurovision because Israel has been allowed to take part.

You’d think expensive oil would make our government focus on solar and wind energy, you would of course be wrong

Gore says about Australia’s solar? He has stressed that Australia has “the best solar resource of any nation in the world” and claimed that capturing just 0.1% of the solar energy falling on the country would be enough to meet 100% of its electricity needs if storage and grids are properly scaled.

Hey, did you know that the fertilizer required for modern farming takes huge amounts of energy to manufacture (cracking those famously stable nitrogen pair bonds into an organically available configuration ain’t free)? Fuel crisis = food crisis. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaa...

With just 6 weeks until the Scottish Parliament election, the campaign starts here. On May 7th let's demand better for Scotland. Vote Scottish Greens. 💚 👉 Get involved: www.greens.scot/volunteer

Three US teens have filed a class action against Musk and xAI for producing sexualized images of them. In the EU, a Dutch court has ruled against xAI and ordered it to stop or face daily €100k fines. First binding European ruling against Grok. #OpDeathEaters spookyconnections.com/2026/03/26/e...

Keep US-style ICE practices out of Europe! The EU is a project built on respecting the rule of law, solidarity, dignity and protection of fundamental rights. We have seen how these practices are enforced in the US. We cannot allow this in the EU!

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

Response to my request for extra capacity for 130 bus at peak times There's no way this service is meeting demand. Was informed years ago that more drivers would be hired and that would resolve the issue, but now it's that the data shows capacity is not as bad as other routes, so it's not a priority
