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 government's failure to progress DART South west is infuriating. It condemns tens of thousands of people to spending hours every day sitting in traffic.

That’s quite an own goal by Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien delaying the Finglas Luas by two years, and stalling on DART+ South West till 2030, on World Sustainable Transport Day, no less. Who needs Judicial Reviews when Fianna Fáil’s running the show?

The confirmation that 100ac of forestry adjacent to the Glen of the Downs has been bought by the NPWS is great news for Nature Restoration. The opportunity to double the size of Irelands oldest nature reserve is a once in a limetime opportunity. www.greystonesguide.ie/100-acres-of...

Given that the BBC endlessly gives platforms to lobbyists from the dark money junktanks without revealing their interests, shouldn't we be seeing such apologies every day? Better still, how about not doing it? If they want to appear, we should know on whose behalf they are speaking.

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!

This is an important and heartfelt letter. Unfortunately there has been a real blindspot among some people on the British and European left. We should oppose imperialism and fascism, wherever they occur. heckle.scot/2025/11/an-o...

There's a bill to ban hunting foxes with packs of dogs coming before the dail on Dec 17th. Fuck 'rural pursuits' sign and share and contact your FF, FG, and SF TDs and tell them to support the ban my.uplift.ie/petitions/pe...

🇵🇸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)

This is outrageous from DLR - our Fine Gael Cathaoirleach promoting a multinational plastic tree company while we have fantastic local family businesses here growing and selling real Christmas trees for generations. 1/3

This Wednesday, the united left opposition will bring a joint motion for the government to stop delaying the Occupied Territories Bill, and to finally pass it WITH services included. @rodericogorman.bsky.social @greenpartyie.bsky.social

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

This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Everyone has been affected, or knows someone who has been effected, by accidents on our roads. Sadly, the number of deaths on Irish roads has been rising for the past number of years.

Climate action won't happen unless we make it happen Take a stand Join the @greenpartyie.bsky.social

Talking to @rodericogorman.bsky.social at the national climate protest. Climate action is about protecting our future, but it's also about making our lives better today - warmer homes, lower bills, better public transport. @greenpartyie.bsky.social

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.

Forget about #COP30 This is where we actually are when it comes to not giving a f*ck about our environment, climate & heritage in Europe And its not a good place We see you @finegael.bsky.social @eppgroup.bsky.social #greenwash #climatewash

Government's new housing plan? 👇 Delivering homelessness, blaming communities. After a wasted year tinkering at the edges, we now have a plan with....no targets. @oliver.ie greenparty.ie/news/moran-g...

This was probably the biggest climate demonstration in Ireland since 2019-2020! A huge Green Party turnout at the National Climate March today to call on the government to stop the U-turns and get serious about climate action, nature restoration and ending fossil fuels.

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)

To President Michael D. Higgins, on your last day as President of Ireland, we say thank you for your service. #Ireland #Politics #President

Miami is ground zero for Sea Level Rise (SLR). They build walls & install pumps, but it rises through the the limestone substrate anyway. Cork has a porus substrate too, and a perched aquifer, which moves in tandem with the tides. SLR will be non-linear also. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIqb...

Recognizing bicycle parking as a critical component of any infrastructure network, The Hague’s Amare concert hall has opened 1,000 guarded and sheltered spaces—intended not just for ticket holders visiting the largest cultural building in the Netherlands, but anyone visiting the city’s busy centre.🧵

Taoiseach decries slump in #climate action…abroad, of course. Meanwhile, back home, Taoiseach opposes solar farms & 100% supports Ireland’s climate-destroying and water-polluting livestock sector. Go figure. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Standing room only at a public meeting in Ringaskiddy this evening. The community gathers again to oppose an incinerator in the village. The fourth time in 25 years. The less reported side of planning observations and judicial review — when an applicant hopes to wear the system down.

🗣️ "We are talking ourselves into autocracy here, by taking away people’s rights," says Fred Logue, Solicitor Specialising in Planning & Environmental Law, highlighting the value he sees in the judicial review process. #TonightVMTV

🗣️ "So you’re saying it’s not judicial review but it’s something else?" asks Fine Gael TD Naoise Ó Muirí. "Yeah, it’s the permitting system," replies Fred Logue, Solicitor Specialising in Planning & Environmental Law, as they disagree on what is holding up progress on new developments. #TonightVMTV

🗣️ "The system is fit for purpose. The problem with it is the constant change." - Fred Logue, Solicitor Specialising in Planning & Environmental Law #TonightVMTV

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

Is this new road the solution to traffic jams in Sandyford? Construction starts this week on the "Junction 14 Link Road" in Sandyford Business District. #sandyford #leopardstown #traffic #activetravel #induceddemand

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

Local volunteers are fundraising for the victims of the attack in Drogheda last night. (I have verified the organisers are genuine) gofund.me/c78df2a6e

An important demonstration of hope and welcome at Grand Parade this afternoon — especially after last night's cowardly attack in Drogheda. Thank you to the Lord Mayor, Fergal Dennehy, for representing the city so passionately, Laura Harmon for organising and everyone who spoke, sang and danced. 👏👏

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

Congratulations Catherine Connolly, our next President of Ireland! Your Green team in Rathdown delighted to have a President that is serious about inequality, the climate crisis and calling out genocide. Final result in Dublin Rathdown: Connolly 51% Humphreys 40% Gavin 9%

This delay and the dilution of language to “where appropriate” are not harmless compromises. They will cost lives.

Pod of this week’s Last Word on the Environment with Matt Cooper on Today FM is now available. The Taoiseach may not be best pleased. www.todayfm.com/podcasts/the...

British.

The Green Party are supporting Catherine Connolly *because* we care about nature, and because we have always said that climate justice and social justice are inseparable.

The Taoiseach creates a false choice here. Climate Action is about making life better, making energy cheaper, making our atmosphere cleaner. But that requires leadership. We see none from this Government.

Amid the constant anti-renewables sentiment so common across our media, this letter today is a blessed relief.
