Another win for the car lobby this week in Brussels, as more of the Green deal is watered down. The only winners here will be Chinese EV manufacturers who will now come in to fill the gap left by these European companies.

Our Fight. Our Planet. Our Future. ✊🌍 10 years after the signature of the Climate Paris Agreement, the climate crisis is still escalating. Yet far-right & conservative forces try to tear down climate protections and block progress. Political courage is needed now. No excuses. No delay. 💚

Having a very democratic birthday today, participating at the @greens-efa.eu Parliamentary Leaders meeting in Brussels 😉 On the agenda; 🔙EU Deregulation Wave 📱Social Media Algorithms 🐮Mercosur 🇵🇸Gaza

Big thanks to Ongar Tidy Town’s for organising the Christmas Tree lighting in the village this evening 🎄🌲

We are ready for the Galway West By-election 💪

Great turnout at the Stop Climate Chaos Lobby Day today. Civil society groups need to keep the pressure on to ensure Government don't row back or slow down on climate measures.

Thanks to Clonsilla Tidy Towns, @fingal.ie and Santa for kicking off Christmas with the tree-lighting at St Mochtas yesterday 🎄🌲🎅

A few of the beautiful Christmas Trees on display at St Brigid’s Church, Castleknock this weekend 🎄🌲

New DART and Luas lines, which ALREADY HAVE planning permission, are being delayed 4-5 years. This is a direct consequence of the Government’s decision to spend less on public transport.

🌿 Click Green, Shop Clean 🌿 This festive season, I’m supporting Irish retailers. By choosing local businesses, we're supporting enterprises that meet Ireland's environmental and consumer protection rules. It's also just nice to support local 🇮🇪

Today's transport plan delivers a stark message to commuters. Expect more years stuck in traffic with no viable public transport alternatives. Read our response here 👇 greenparty.ie/news/act-nat... @feljin.ie @rodericogorman.bsky.social

Thanks to the Lord Mayor for joining us at St Brigid’s GAA GA GA Men’s Shed today to mark their one year anniversary. I was even persuaded to try a bit of handball!

One week since @greenpartyie.bsky.social members joined the National March for Climate Action ✊ As #COP30 negotiations are deadlocked without agreement, we need to keep the pressure on to ensure the Irish Government, the EU and world leaders commit to and deliver real, fair climate action.

☣️The Mercosur deal is poisonous - just look at this data below👇 The deal is being pushed by agro-chemical giants in Europe looking to export billions in pesticides to South America - Brazil is already approving record numbers of hazardous pesticides and increasing their usage.

I spoke at the Occupied Territories Bill protest this evening outside Leinster House. Tomorrow we will vote on the joint motion calling for it to be progressed - with services. We expect the motion to pass, but we need the Government to actually act on this vote and enact the Bill without delay.

This graph got quite some attention when it was shared online a number of months ago-but many were skeptical. An interesting update today however; the NTA shared in Committee that these routes will be worked on in the early 2030s and potentially delivered sooner than the below plans.

Wishing Paschal the very best as he steps down as Minister and TD. He’s been a hugely consequential public representative, who has worked with diligence, integrity and always with a strong sense of personal kindness.

🇵🇸No more delay on the Occupied Territories Bill I was proud to stand today with other Leaders of Opposition Parties and Senator @francesblack1 to call on the Government to progress the Occupied Territories Bill. It has been a year since FF and FG campaigned on this during the general election(1/2)

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 🏃
