Vance in Hungary: "I want to help as much as I possibly can the PM [Orbán] as he faces this election... A signal to everybody, particularly bureaucrats in Brussels who've done everything they can to hold down the people of Hungary". Falsely accusing others of interfering as he admits interfering.

For #WorldHealthDay we celebrate the connection between #biodiversity and human health. 🌿🐝 🌻 Our colleagues in the National Biodiversity Data Centre have published the All-Ireland #PollinatorPlan guide to pollinator-friendly management of healthcare sites, supported by the HSE - see pollinators.ie

After a day in the garden (trying to fix my pond) it was lovely to open up the new copy of @birdwatchireland.bsky.social Wings magazine and read a review of @gardeningwell.ie Natures Acre. @connectingcabra.bsky.social plan to have Ciaran speak at the Cabra Biodiversity Festival in May.

Nice Cabra photos of the Community Roots garden sharing project and work done by the students in Christ the King to address the issue of dog poo on pavements.

Great to see we now have 11 BikeBunkers around Stoneybatter - but it would be great to see a LOT more! That’s just 55 (?) bike spaces to serve thousands of people living in small properties, most without gardens. You can find out more or register interest here: bikebunkers.ie/pages/regist...

Brian from Connecting Cabra was on @nearfm.ie today talking about our Free Tree day, painting nature on the roadside utility boxes, our upcoming @seai-ie.bsky.social Retrofitting grants session with @cosybatter.bsky.social & @phibsboro.bsky.social & lots more. You can listen back here. #SpeirGorm

Thanks Mary and @nearfm.ie for hosting me this lunchtime to talk about @connectingcabra.bsky.social and the work on tree planting, retrofitting seminars and general awesome stuff!

First frog spawn of the year spotted at the connecting Cabra pond. A small but important sign of spring. Frogs rely on ponds and wetlands like this to breed, and these habitats support many other species too. Even in urban areas, wetlands play a vital role in supporting biodiversity.

What a great photo from the Bohs v Shamrock Rovers game!

Beautiful, crisp cold morning in Tolka Valley Park. Dipper, Chiffchaff, Redpoll and Reed Bunting so far.

If you live in Ireland and you need to trim a hedge it’s get it done this weekend or wait until September. It’s illegal to cut a hedge after 1 March before 1 September in most circumstances.

Bohs go 2-0 up against Shamrock Rovers!! Thanks to Baz for the video!! @loipdnews.bsky.social @bfcdublin.bsky.social #Speirgorm

‘My son was nearly knocked down in front of me’: Kinsealy residents protest over dangerous road

Nice one! Any Foxes spotted around Cabra lately? There’s usually a good few around the railway line and the back of St Attracta Rd.

Have the top 10 of Dublin’s worst junctions for cycling improved much in 15 years? -- What do you think are the worst 10 junctions in Dublin today? Back in 2011 -- 15 years ago -- the Dublin Cycling Campaign pushed for the "10 worst" junctions to be fixed. Would it be surprising to say none of…

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals. The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

Great to see this being screened locally again. Highly recommended! @mudisland.bsky.social @billylinehan.bsky.social

Get some water into your garden any water. Water brings life. #NaturesAcre

We grew up believing that a good garden is one that’s tightly controlled. But the truth is, you can have a garden that’s easier to manage — and supports life at the same time. #NaturesAcre

LOST CAT! Milo has gone missing from Seapark apts on Mount Prospect Ave in #Clontarf. He’s an indoor cat and still quite young so he’s probably pretty scared. Please let me know if you spot him hiding somewhere in the area. Thanks so much! This is in Dublin, Ireland btw.

This morning’s walk. Cabra looking lovely.

Hope everybody is okay. This happened just after our protest for safer streets in Cabra. It underlines the need for safe cycling and walking infrastructure.

“Says Hogan: “If it is safe enough to eat, it should be okay for footpaths.”” We’d like to challenge Councillor Hogan to drink a glass of Glyphosphate then!
