It's not acceptable that the only way to get live updates on public transport is by having an account on X which is now under investigation for CSAM. TFI and Irish Rail need to start providing accessible and reliable updates on their own platforms instead of relying on X. #SpeirGorm

Calling all fellow Greens! I am asking for your vote in the Deputy Leader Election. Voting is open from 12pm Monday (26th). Together we can build for a more sustainable, climate resilient Ireland. One that prioritises climate action, nature restoration, providing homes and fighting discrimination.

Spoke with Olivia Kelly @irishtimes.com my frustration about the lack of coordination between different government agencies to put in infrastructure in a timely, not wasteful & with the least disruption, feels like we are sinking backwards. There's simply no climate leader at the helm #climateaction

Very happy to support Hazel, she has worked for many years with the Greens in Northern Ireland and gets it around building a reconciled island.

This Saturday marks the anniversary of #StormEowyn, the worst storm ever to hit the country. One year on and promised storm supports are still not in place This government has to do better greenparty.ie/news/green-p...

Green Party members North and South, i hope you'll join me in choosing Chu 💚 Hazel is a real political hero, a great communicator, and the perfect person to fight for the green and just social transformation we need!

Honoured to be nominated by members from across the island of Ireland for the Green Party Deputy Leadership election. In the face of climate breakdown, housing crisis, rising inequality, and global uncertainty, the Greens are needed more than ever. www.thejournal.ie/green-party-...

I had written the motion with my colleagues for Dublin City Council to leave X in the hopes that they would see the incredible harm X was causing. To be fair, DCC management has been very proactive. Can't say the same for Gov politicians & other state agencies! www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Five Green Party councillors brought an emergency motion this month to get Dublin City Council off X. And we succeeded. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

I have heard so many people say "Oh its just the internet" or "Oh it's just photos", when they talk about Grok, X & nudification apps. When young women are being violated, when their privacy and agency are stripped, its not just a niche matter, it should be treated as a serious public policy issue.

Both Lucy and Sonia are incredibly inspiring. Their speaking out, they hope, will drive it home to people who have responsibility and power to enact change that this is no laughing matter - but one that can devastate countless lives in Ireland and abroad. @womensaidireland.bsky.social 1800 341 900

A woman whose images were deepfake edited and uploaded to porn sites without her consent has appealed to the Government to use every power to stop predators. She told Virgin Media News the abuse led to years of panic attacks and unwanted contact. #VMNews | @newschambers.bsky.social

Report #1 on the impacts of non-consensual deepfake image abuse. Sonia suffered years of panic attacks and needed counselling after photos, some dating from when she was a teenager, were edited & uploaded on an explicit site with her personal info. She's come forward because of the Grok scandal.

Dublin City Council has suspended use of X following the Green Party emergency motion last week. It'll come to our Protocol Committee next week and myself and other Greens will be recommending leaving it completely. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Yesterday @rodericogorman.bsky.social had a great opinion piece in The Sun about the Grok issue. Read it here: www.thesun.ie/news/1640038...

With Trumps threats to Greenland’s independence growing every day, a strong EU response is vital. I’m calling on the Taoiseach to urgently brief Opposition leaders on the possible use of the EU Anti-Coercion Instrument and the impact on Ireland of the new tariffs threat 🇮🇪 🇬🇱 🇪🇺

If your organisation is still on X, I wrote an article on why organisations especially public ones, shouldn't be! www.thejournal.ie/readme/elon-...

Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman will be on The Week in Politics @news.rte.ie at 12pm

'Huge relief': Irish man Sean Binder found not guilty of people smuggling in Greece jrnl.ie/6928251

For the record: as of right now, the Grok app is still doing all the things they’ve said it is stopping, for users with free/unpaid accounts.

I made a submission to oppose the proposed changes listed in the consultation by Government to make major changes to the cost rules for judicial reviews. The proposal is designed to restrict access to justice, in breach of EU law and will only benefit the State and the wealthy. #environment #courts

'Seat belts did not kill the car industry. Food safety laws did not destroy food producers or hospitality. Safeguards do not stifle progress; it is simply setting a standard of what’s acceptable & ensuring no harm is done.' @hazelchu.bsky.social 👏👏 Buckle up on CSAM www.thejournal.ie/readme/elon-...

Should Elon Musk & X be held accountable for child sexual abuse materials? Yes. Should all Government reps, politicians, state agencies, be off X? Yes. Are we doing enough to tackle gender based violence? Absolutely not! Wrote a piece covering all that and more 👉 www.thejournal.ie/readme/elon-...

The Green Party emergency motion was referred to the Protocol Committee for discussion. We will keep pushing it there. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

1/2 In light of the violations by Grok the X AI chatbot let's look at the gap in Irish law. There's an apparent and dangerous gap in the law. Under Coco's law that got enacted in 2020 the sharing of deepfake and harmful content is illegal so is the using of such material for harrassment. However

The U-turns on road safety by this government would make your head spin. Lower default speed limits, RSA reform and red light camera pilot all abandoned while deaths and serious injuries are rising. independent.ie/opinion/comm...

1/3 In light of the revelation that Grok the X AI chatbot have been responding to user prompts to remove the clothing from images of women and to create "sexualized images of children" to further post them on X, Green Party Media and Justice Spokespersons have called on state regulators to act.

Financial barriers to environmental litigation are against the law, because protecting the environment is an important public interest. The government now wants to make it super expensive (>€100,000) for ordinary people to go to court to protect the environment Please read and take action 👇

The Green Party condemns the unilateral and illegal action of the U.S. in attacking Venezuela. The most pressing humanitarian issue is the welfare of people in Venezuela and to protect against violence and unrest in the country in response to the actions of the U.S.

Judicial Review withdrawn for Metrolink! If the State is, as reported, buying the homes as an offer to end the Judicial Review then said homes should be used to add onto our public housing stock and be converted into public housing to help alleviate our ever increasing homeless numbers. #Metrolink

Joined cross-party opposition at Leinster House this morning, calling for the Student Accommodation Strategy to be published. Students and families have waited long enough. It’s time to publish it now. 📸 @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social @greenpartyie.bsky.social

Thousands of commuters stuck in the past day. The #Luas Green line being down is a prime lesson for this Government to prioritise public transport. We need investment into many modes of sustainable public transport so people aren't stuck in cars when one mode of public transport goes down.

I am calling on the Minister to publish the awaited Student Accommodation Strategy without delay following reports that private landlords will be allowed to increase rents for students outside of the Department of Housing rental caps: www.greenparty.ie/news/greens-...

What are the top three things we need to focus on to turn the tide on our rotting system? -Housing -Affordability -Climate Action A big thanks to the Coinnigh Clé- Keep Left campaign for having cross party discussion on the back of the success of the Connolly campaign. #housing #climateaction

Our panel line up is finally confirmed! - Richard Boyd Barrett TD (PBP) - Cllr Hazel Chu (Green Party) - Cllr Daithí Doolan (Sinn Féin) - Rory Hearne TD (Social Democrats) - Ciarán Ahearn TD (Labour) - Sen. Eileen Flynn (Independent) Join us on the 8th of December in The Grand Social

From Metro to Dart+ South West to the Luas, this week has shown clearly how this Government is hell bent on sabotaging itself when it comes to providing sustainable Public Transport infrastructure for Ireland instead opting for more roads. #transport #luas #metro #dart @greenpartyie.bsky.social

The Metro is delayed again due to a Judicial Review being lodged. What is a Judicial Review you say? Let's have a chat about it and on why public transport infrastructure is vital to tackling the ongoing Climate Crisis and our Housing Crisis.

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

The Metro is yet again delayed. Public transport is vital to tackling the ongoing Climate Crisis and our Housing Crisis. The Greens were the only party to make any serious headway on the project when we were in Gov. We must continue to push to ensure we have a sustainable public transport system!

Her Excellency Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid the Palestinian Ambassador came to chat to our Young Greens at their AGM on Saturday. I have always been in awe of Jilan's strength and courage while representing the people of Palestine but more so in the past two years than ever before. Each time I meet her..

Greens are back? We never went away! Great to see so many Green members at the march for #ClimateAction in Dublin yesterday. This Government are failing when it comes to Climate Action and we need change now! Join us in the fight! @greenpartyie.bsky.social! @greenpartyni.org @greenparty.org.uk

Fantastic turnout for the National Climate March this afternoon 🌍🌍

Join us this weekend in Dublin or Online for our 23rd AGM! We have split this years AGM into two sessions to clear our afternoon for the Stop Climate Chaos National Climate March at 1pm.

I'm pleased to share that as of today, I will serve as the Chairperson of the Oireachtas Cross-Party Cancer Group - a group of TDs and Senators who work alongside the Irish Cancer Society to hear directly from cancer patients and fight to improve cancer services across the country (1/4)

The recent attack at the IPAS centre in Drogheda is shocking, but not surprising. Nor is the silence from those who shout the loudest about protection of women and children. #drogheda #immigration #asylum #racism #diversityandinclusion

The attack in Drogheda is shocking, but not surprising. This government ignoring right wing violence has led us here, and without meaningful response will only lead to deaths

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly who has been elected the 10th President of Ireland. We were delighted to support this campaign over the last month and her landslide win is proof of the value of a positive, united campaign. #Aras25 #PresidentConnolly #Politics #Ireland #Election

We see plenty of homes being built in Sandyford and the wider Dublin 18 area but where are the community facilities to match? Imaginosity is now a vacant building here in BSQ in Sandyford Business District. The council need to be acting much faster to bring it into use as a community facility.
