Darragh O'Brien wants to bypass normal planning permission, maritime consent, energy regulator & CPO procedures for the State's LNG project. @ciaranahern.bsky.social Jennifer Whitmore @social-democrats.bsky.social & Pa Daly are concerned www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Incredibly disappointing. What a bad look for a government that claims to care about road safety. FF TD detected at 190km/h convicted of dangerous driving www.rte.ie/news/2026/01...

Not clear what investment is being lost but assume its data centres. These bring little economic benefit, put huge strain on the grid now using a 1/4 of generation so driving up electricity prices, and will cost jobs in the long run due to AI. But govt want more? www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

This is fun and lovely, but we can’t rely on possible future tech like air cleaning (C02 capturing) machines to think we’ll be able to save our planet. We need to take bigger and more radical steps right now to reduce our emissions!

This is great news. Well done Seán Binder 👏 "If I am guilty, then you're guilty too.” You can listen back to an interview that he did with Labour Youth after being awarded the 2023 Cormac Ó Braonáin award at @labourpartyireland.bsky.social conference. shows.acast.com/the-bread-an...

"This did not happen by accident. It is the direct result of decisions taken by Government to protect the status quo rather than confront the scale of the climate crisis." - @ciaranahern.bsky.social 🔗 Read the full statement from Labour Party Climate Spokesperson: labour.ie/news/2026/01...

“The commentary by Judge James O’Donohoe is deeply problematic, and has exhibited a clear perception of bias against cyclists in his decision-making." @ciaranahern.bsky.social 🔗 labour.ie/news/2026/01...

Good meeting with @ciaranahern.bsky.social [email protected] Spokesperson on Climate, Environment, Energy & Transport. We emphasised the urgent need for Gov to publish the long-delayed Marine Protected Areas legislation, so actual restoration & conservation can begin. #FairSeas

Great to meet with @fairseas.ie and I’ll be supporting their push to enact a Marine Protected Areas law without any further delay 🙌

Government inaction leaves Ireland unprepared for climate crisis. ❝Scientists, experts, and communities are all telling us the same thing—climate risks are accelerating, and we are not ready.❞ @ciaranahern.bsky.social Read more: labour.ie/news/2025/03...

Second warmest March ever sparks call for action 🔥 ❝The gravity of the situation necessitates an urgent, all-government approach. Climate action can no longer be confined to one department or treated as a peripheral issue.❞ @ciaranahern.bsky.social Read more ➡️ labour.ie/news/2025/04...

"It’s been a very strange juxtaposition – a disturbing and devastating one – looking at my new son – this beautiful and fragile new life – and then seeing images of babies just like him in Gaza starving. Malnourished. Mutilated. Dead in too many cases." @ciaranahern.bsky.social

Thanks to @ciaranahern.bsky.social TD for visiting Dublin Waste-to-Energy today. A valuable discussion on how the facility reduces landfill, powers homes with renewable electricity, and will play a key role in delivering district heating to homes and businesses.

Today, @ccacireland.bsky.social published its annual review of the electricity sector. It recommends that "the Government should immediately align the legal mandate and strategy for all public bodies to act in conformity with the Climate Act 2021". www.climatecouncil.ie/councilpubli...
