Proud to support the Irish Cancer Society at their pre-budget submission day today.

Today, the Govt will use its majority in the Dáil to force the adoption of a watered down Occupied Territories Bill, which is knowingly and intentionally inconsistent with our obligations under intl. law. This is a political decision by the Government, dictated by fear of the Trump administration.

Why are these Real-Time-Information displays being switched off all around the country? I've explained some of my work on this on my website here rodericogorman.com/latest/updat...

Great to be out with Blanch Tidy Towns this morning. Thanks to Team Myles O’Donoghue for hosting us afterwards 🌻🌼🌳

At Wednesday’s Oireachtas Committee on Transport, it was confirmed that the National Transport Authority (NTA) will not introduce any new bus services in 2026. Why?

I questioned Minister Seán Canney last week at the Oireachtas Transport Committee about the bizarre decision to disconnect RTI displays from the public lighting network. It was news to him too - I'll be following up with him to get a proper answer on this 🤔

Dublin Pride was a fantastic show of support for our LGBTQ+ community, a community of activists that our leader and many of our members are so proud to be a part of. #Ireland #Dublin #DublinPride #HappyPride #LGBwiththeT

Happy Pride 🌈 Out and about this morning with BelongTo, LGBT Ireland and Youth Work Ireland. Then marching with @greenparty.ie

⚡If we are serious about battery storage and build now, 2 GW of storage could be available in Ireland by the early 2030s, saving us a minimum of €100 million in wasted energy, reducing carbon emissions, while also improving our energy security.

Hundreds of men were prosecuted over the decades in Ireland, solely for being gay. As we celebrate this Pride Weekend, it's important that we try to deliver justice for these individuals too. The Disregard of Historic Offences for Consensual Sexual Activity Between Men Bill aims to do this 👇

Over the last 6 months the Oir. Transport Committee has met on the topic of Road Safety, hearing from groups as diverse as cyclists and road hauliers. One common finding from these hearings is a complete lack of confidence in the Road Safety Authority to fulfil their central mission to save lives.

🚍Will the N8 Blanchardstown - Dublin Airport bus service be delivered by the end of the year? Darragh O'Brien seemed less certain last week in the Dáil on this - and bizarrely keeps referring to funding as why it might not be delivered for then, despite the fact that he is responsible for it!

🏬Up to 18,500 homes and a New City Quarter on Dunsink Lands Fingal County Council has published the draft Dunsink Urban Area Plan for the development of this strategic piece of land within the M50. The plan will create eight new development areas; 🌳2 large natural parks 🏘️3 residential areas (1/4)

Was delighted to join Castleknock GAA for the official opening of their gym in Somerton.

Proud to support @ciaranahern.bsky.social motion today to pause the building of new data centres and to publish the 2026 Climate Action Plan. Households should not have to pay more on electricity bills due to data centres, and tech giants should be paying a fair price for the electricity they use.

Another Green Flag for St Francis Xavier Senior NS in Blanchardstown. Well done to students, staff and in particular to the Green Schools Committee.

"We all have a responsibility in saving lives on our roads" - Minister Canney's response when I questioned why the RSA reform plans were scrapped at a hearing of the Oireachtas Transport Committee on Road Safety today. Where everyone is responsible, no one is responsible, Minister.

You can be damn sure funding Public transport projects properly isn't even on the table www.independent.ie/irish-news/p... #IrishPolitics #SpéirGorm

Abortion rights were hard-fought-for over the decades, culminating in the Repeal referendum in 2018. Irish people showed that they trust women to make decisions about their own healthcare, and it is not for legislators to meddle in these decisions.

Great to meet service users and staff at the National Learning Network in Mulhuddart today and here about the progress they are making in their studies, and their achievements at Special Olympics 🥇🥈🥉

The No.1 thing the government could do to help with dereliction is to change the legal definition of dereliction. What you and I might consider derelict is often not legally considered derelict.

Completed the Castleknock 5k (just about!) and really enjoyed the Castleknock Village Festival. Amazing day for it 🌞 Massive thanks to all the volunteers and @fingal.ie for hosting such a special community event.

A near perfect afternoon in Crescent Park for the very first Canalpalooza, organised by volunteers in Royal Canal Park and Rathbourne 🌞🌞🌞 Great to meet so many people along with @feljin.ie Big thanks to Dublin City Council for their support.

After the worst week, Belfast answered. Five thousand voices. One message. #WeAreBelfast #TogetherAgainstHate

Greens against fascism! ✊💚

Huge thanks to Dublin Front Runners for hosting another fantastic Pride Run 🏃‍♂️ 🏳️‍🌈

Interested in helping set up a Scout Group in Tyrrelstown? A second meeting is taking place on Tuesday 16 June at 7:00pm in the Tyrrelstown Community Centre.

This week in the Oireachtas Transport Committee I asked Irish Rail about the disruptions that the DART+ West and MetroLink projects might cause commuters.

A man is fighting for his life after last night’s attack in North Belfast. Our thoughts are with him, his family, & everyone affected. Please read our statement. Don’t share the footage, talk to your children if they’ve seen it, and let the police do their work. 1/2

Families burned out of their homes. Again. Last night’s violence in Belfast was a racist pogrom, the third summer in a row. Green Party NI stands with every family targeted last night. Our full statement 👇

Government can and should step in to support the FAI to boycott the Ireland - Israel match. Moving the game to a neutral venue behind closed doors is a disservice to fans and the sentiments they have the right to share about the game going ahead.

Delight to meet Fatima from Dublin 15 to discuss the importance of investing in youth services in Dublin West and all over the country. I passionately believe that every young person should have the chance to engage with high quality youth services.

It was a privilege to join students, staff and parents from Castleknock National School at the launch of their school solar panels, and hear from students who are learning about how renewable energy cuts bills and our carbon emissions 🌍

Tressell Festival 2026 ✊

And that's Laurel Lodge Playground open! It was wonderful to see this new amenity for the Castleknock - Blanchardstown - Carpenterstown areas finally open this week after months of on-site works and years of campaigning by local residents. I even got to test out some of the equipment myself!

Thanks to Michael and Liam from Castleknock GAA for showing me the micro forests and energy saving measures the club have put in place as part of the ‘Greening of Somerton’ project. Huge commitment to cutting the clubs emissions, and saving it money too.

Scouting Ireland are holding a meeting in Tyrrelstown tomorrow to look to set up a scout group in the area. Meeting taking place Wednesday 3 June at 7:30pm in the Tyrrelstown Community Centre.

Tomi’s work to educate and inform people in Ireland and around the World about the horrors of Holocaust was hugely important. May he rest in peace.

The "do-nothing" Government strikes again - with a simple amendment to the Dublin Transport Authority Bill, which would allow the NTA to deliver BusConnects in our regional cities, taking months to progress.

Janet Horner in third place on first preferences from the full tally here in the RDS. A fantastic result for a fantastic candidate, boding well for the future in #DublinCentral 💪

Two fantastic candidates: Cllr Janet Horner - Dublin Central Niall Murphy - Galway West Give them your No.1 vote 🗳️

Final push for @janetphorner.bsky.social Vote No.1 🗳️

No shame. No accountability. Irish civilians detained after being seized in international waters are now being used as political props by Israel’s far-right Government. What we’re witnessing is performative cruelty - propaganda in advance of potential elections in Israel.

These peace activists were kidnapped in international waters and are now being used as a backdrop to boost Ben-Gvir's far-right credentials. This display of 'captives' isn't being done by a terrorist group. It's being done by a minister of a national government.

I'm not saying you should vote for people based on how funny they are, but it's not an insignificant fact that one candidate in Dublin Central seems capable of normal human humour (bonus that they also are on top of the detail of policy & profoundly committed to the area...)

Bat walk with Riverwood Biodiversity Group last night in Porterstown Park, as part of National Biodiversity Week 🦇 We heard Pipistrelles, Leisler's and Daubenton's. Amazing experience 💚

A no. 1 vote for @janetphorner.bsky.social on Friday will have the biggest impact for Dublin Central in the Dáil. Get value for your vote - vote Green 💚

Disappointing to see the SocDems and Sinn Fein ally with the Government last night to undermine the Climate Act. Now that FF and FG are clearly rowing back from our climate commitments and ambition on renewable energy, opposition parties should be scrutinizing their actions, not supporting them.

The Government is proposing levies on different Departments to combat overspending, while also floating the idea of tax cuts during by-election season - how much of this is electioneering? 🤔

Out at Broombridge and Cabra Luas stops today for @janetphorner.bsky.social 🗳️
