Talking with @ray-cunningham.bsky.social at the National Climate March today

Fantastic turnout for the National Climate March this afternoon 🌍🌍

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 only chart that matters when it comes to housing — Between 2019 and Q2 2025, planning permission for 329,637 units granted, but only 213,790 started. There’s no issue with zoning, no issue with planning. They are just not being built — except 2024, then the new government crashed that.

Uachtarán Catherine Connolly 🌈 Wishing President Connolly the very best as she embarks on her term of office.

Thank you for 14 years of deeply impactful service to our country.

Great to join @corkgreens.bsky.social for their AGM tonight in Blackpool Community Centre 🌻

Huge congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to save Hartstown Community Centre. With the help of @fingal.ie it was brilliant to be part of its official reopening today. 👏🏼

Gardaí have arrested two men as part of their investigation into an alleged arson at an Ipas centre in Drogheda, Co Louth. The arrests were made this morning by investigators. jrnl.ie/6866233t

BREAKING: Green Party councillors have walked out of Belfast City Council’s meeting after the Lord Mayor blocked a member from speaking on the Gaza genocide and refused a recess to resolve it. This is a clear overreach of the Mayor’s duty to act impartially.

A huge loss. Rest in Peace.

It's been 3 months since I posed this question to the Min. for Health and HSE. The climate emergency isn’t just about weather - it’s about lives. And if we aren't measuring something, we can’t manage it.

IrishRail is to be commended for the extra services they have put on for big events recently - I think it shows that there is an appetite for intercity services beyond 8/9pm and later services on commuter routes too. Here's their response on whether these later services could be made permanent

Congratulations to our President Elect Catherine Connolly. An incredible result achieved by thousands of volunteers from parties, independents & people active in politics for the first time. Thanks to @greenpartyie.bsky.social reps & members around the country who campaigned as part of this movement

This week, we all have an important choice to make as we elect our next Uachtarán na hÉireann. Catherine Connolly is the candidate who will continue to put climate action and social justice at the heart of the Presidency - we urge you to give her your number 1 vote. @rodericogorman.bsky.social

A real privilege to speak at the final rally for Catherine in Galway last night. I’m incredibly optimistic that, tomorrow we will see her elected as the next Uachtarán na hÉireann 🗳️ Polls are open until 10pm - turnout reportedly low so far....

Last day of our campaign 🗳️ #ConnollyForPresident @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Fine Gael's recent campaign tactics are both desperate and undignified, doing the office of the Presidency no credit says Green Party Leader @rodericogorman.bsky.social

Chilly morning at Ashtown Train Station 🗳️ @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Backstage excitement! #CeolForConnolly 🗳️ @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Soft morning for it! #ConnollyForPresident

Brilliant to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Porterstown Parkrun this morning, Huge thanks to all the volunteers who make this possible every week 🏃

Out and about at Clonsilla station this morning 🗳️ @catherinegalway.bsky.social

In the wake of a damning EPA Report this week on water quality, I questioned the Taoiseach today on Lady's Island Lake. The local action group are seeking monthly tests to be carried out along with confirmed funding for actions that will support local farmers to reduce runoff into the lake (1/2)

Big crowd in St Brigids Community Centre for Halloween costume swap run by Laurel Lodge Enviro Group and Blanch Tidy Towns 🎃👻 Circular Economy in action 👏🏼

Micheál Martin raises the white flag on achieving our climate targets 🏳️ A Government with no leadership, no ambition and no ideas.

🏠Having a warm place to live should not depend solely on a landlord's decision. ❗We need a Government strategy to ensure that everyone benefits from this retrofit revolution with increased incentives and minimum BER standards for rental properties.

The Land-hoarding Tax (RZLT) was introduced last year. It's been a success. 2,000 returns filed. Over €40 million eared to the State. Why is the Government allowing another year for landowners to seek an exemption? Land zone for housing needs to be brought into use now.

Nothing in the Budget to advance a Public Model of Childcare. Big reforms like this take time, need to be supported through each budget. The Government is failing to progress this vital reform that will address affordability and capacity.

Government using a sledgehammer to crack a nut here 🥜 A more targeted scheme would have delivered better value to taxpayers while supporting the businesses who need it most.

Over the summer, the Government raided the Climate & Nature fund to pay for gaps in their infrastructure bill. Today's Budget could have fixed that and committed new investment for nature and the environment. Unfortunately, there has been no change in their approach. A wasted opportunity.

Beautiful sunrise over Ashtown 🌞 Connolly No.1 🗳️ @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Drones have a value in our society, but they are a really new technology and there has to be rules about how they work. That's why I have drafted a law to regulate delivery drones, addressing the issues raised in Dublin 15 and that the Govt have so far ignored.

Responding to user demand, Dublin Bus is adding extra services on the 39A route for the morning and evening peak times. If you have any feedback on capacity issues on your own bus route, please get in touch and I'll be happy to submit to Dublin Bus / Go Ahead / the NTA.

Manchán was a powerful voice for our language, our culture and for maintaining the natural beauty of our island. May he rest in peace
