It's very interesting that Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan and the rest of the government are vocally against judicial reviews when it's about protection of the environment. But no issue when it's a judicial review about money.

Great news! This mix of social, cost rental and subsidised purchase homes will mean thousands of people will be able to put down roots locally and will transform Windy Arbour/Dundrum for the better. www.voterobertjones.com/post/green-p...

Well, there you go. All but confirms that the government agreed to back the disastrous Mercosur deal in return for getting another disastrous nitrates derogation. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Dr Vinnie Wall of the @corkcyclingcrew.bsky.social spoke to @jerosullivanrk.bsky.social on @radiokerry.bsky.social earlier about the government's scandalous decision to abandon plans to reform the Road Safety Authority. @darraghobrientd.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/60ez...

Who would’ve thought it? When you spend months paralysing the Government just for Michael Lowry and his mates to ask you questions, you are left with a legislative wasteland. @rodericogorman.bsky.social in today's Irish Times on this do-nothing Government 👇

While serious injuries and deaths on our roads are at record levels, the government is abandoning the road safety reforms recommended by an independent review without any justification or evidence. www.thejournal.ie/rsa-disbande...

"we promise we will prioritise public transport projects even if the Greens are gone" - straight up lies

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Ireland’s natural habitats decline further with 90% officially in poor condition www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Following reports that private landlords can increase rent for students outside of DoH caps, we are calling on Minister Lawless to publish his student accommodation strategy without delay. Does the Minister's priorities lie with developers or with students? @evadowling.bsky.social bit.ly/4rPzBWD

Govt TD asks why Dart and Luas are delayed “in favour of funding roads”, two others look for rail projects to be funded -- When opposition highlighted delays, Tánaiste Simon Harris claims -- after defunding shovel-ready rail projects -- that it doesn't have to be "either-or in terms of road…

What are the top three things we need to focus on to turn the tide on our rotting system? -Housing -Affordability -Climate Action A big thanks to the Coinnigh Clé- Keep Left campaign for having cross party discussion on the back of the success of the Connolly campaign. #housing #climateaction

The reason is your party, John. Fascinated by Fianna Fáil TDs who are surprised that changing the policy of 2:1 spending on public transport will result in less public transport being built.

Delighted that my nomination as Green Party Candidate for Galway West By-election has now been ratified by the executive. Looking forward to working with members and supporters in the campaign ahead.

A new Ireland Thinks poll, commissioned by An Taisce, reveals Irish public appear at odds with Government’s application for a derogation from EU Nitrates Directive. It comes days before a crucial EU vote on the derogation expected on December 9th. Full results: www.antaisce.org/news/public-...

We won't always make popular decisions but at the very least we could make fair decisions. Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil would prefer to angrily shut down debate, rather than hear criticism of their rent hikes on the least well off while giving the maximum tax cut to homeowners.

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.

Today, I saw a driver overtake a stopped bus and plough through a pedestrian crossing. He beeped three times as he sped though. The beeping was to warn people because, as he had overtaken a bus, he had zero visibility of who was about to step out onto the crossing. But sure, more hi-vis, everyone

Every single Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil TD lied to the public that they would continue investing in public transport - just with more roads also. And they continue to lie about their level of support for public transport. Worth remembering. irishcycle.com/2025/11/27/s...

Have you lived somewhere with no secure, sheltered bike parking? Lack of decent parking at home is a big barrier. I worked with the Belarmine RA and the council to run a pilot to see could we support residents in a practical way with advice and funding. #stepaside #belarmine #cycling #bikelife

Councillors voted last night for higher rents and higher parking charges. I want to be clear I voted against these. We put forward an alternative budget for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown that was fair, balanced and fully costed. Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil councillors were the only ones to vote against it.

Stephen Daedalus Airport.

I'm in Dún Laoghaire County Hall to scrutinise and vote on the council's 2026 budget. The draft budget presented by the Chief Executive is for €313.7m across all the services the council delivers. Any questions? Note: this budget doesn't include capital projects which is managed separately.

The Belmont reservoir saga in Sandyford/Stepaside has run on for many years since planning permission was given back in 2011. A lesson for planners on how not to give disappearing developers a way to wriggle out of their commitments. #sandyford #stepaside #disappearingdevelopers

I've written to the CEOs of the NTA, Dublin Bus and Go Ahead Ireland: here's 6 things they need to sort out. More homes have been built here than any other part of Ireland, but our public transport users are treated like dirt. oisinoconnor.com/public-trans...

Good morning from Sandyford's newest power station. Where are we and how much electricity are we generating? #Sandyford #GreenEnergy #Solar #Renewables

A fire erupted in a pavilion of the UN’s climate talks in Brazil today, forcing panicked delegates to run for the exits and disrupting tense negotiations among ministers from around the world. jrnl.ie/6881395

Excellent letter. Planning for school places need to track housing development, as you point out so clearly.

They launched their new housing plan last week and already spitballing new ideas in public for extra developer subsidies. Useless. www.rte.ie/news/politic...

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.

Important and welcome that President Connolly's first public words since her inauguration are focused clearly on the climate challenge we collectively face. So much depends on us making major progress to further bring down emissions in these crucial years. bit.ly/47Zb9up

Maybe Pascal's $500k pay package might trickle down to us at home struggling to cover bills and rent? www.thejournal.ie/paschal-dono...

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

🇵🇸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)

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.

A video shared on social media appears to show a teacher leading a classroom full of schoolchildren, each kneeling on their own mat, in Islamic prayer during a class. The footage, however, is fake and created by Artificial Intelligence. jrnl.ie/6874547

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

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...

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.

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

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.

As our new President-elected prepares to take the oath of office, we hail the start of her term in Arás an Uachtaráin. Greens are heartened by a presidency that will continue to focus on the worsening effects of our changing climate and destruction of natures life. greenparty.ie/news/greens-...

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

The fact that rich people are buying up the media and politicians, and using up the remaining carbon budget is very bad for everyone.

We've transformed our city in many ways in the last five years. This street used to be full of cars. Now there's music, laughter, food, people sitting down. Life slows down a little bit on Parliament Street.

We were told the interchange would cost €100 million and solve the congestion and tailbacks. It cost €225 million, and it didn't. The people who were 100% wrong about this – and blew 9 figures of public money on it – have a new suggestion. More lanes. www.independent.ie/regionals/co...
