How Ireland’s EU Presidency can lead on Nature and Climate: I’ll be chairing a discussion online with @oisinc.bsky.social Irish Environmental Network & @lnbdublin.bsky.social 7pm Thu. 14 May. Book here: www.eventbrite.ie/e/from-polic...

Or, you know, to stop the rampant red light breaking that's going on. Stop asking car industry lobbyists about road safety.

More wind and less oil/gas - the answer is obvious. The question is why the government is heading int he wrong direction. www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

💚 Division is a political choice. So is hope. Join Roderic O’Gorman TD, Nina Briggs and Maureen Hamblin, for an honest conversation about facing down the far right. Chaired by journalist Amanda Ferguson. 👉 greenpartyni.org/green_party_conference_2026_-_hope_is_here 1/3

When the repeal referendum was decisively passed, Ireland understood that we were listening to women, finally. But the continuation of the three-day rule doesn’t do that. Instead, it carries on the paternalistic view that a woman does not know her own mind.

"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports that renewables are now 10 times more efficient than new nuclear at CO2 mitigation; 92.5% of all new power capacity added worldwide in 2024 was from renewables" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is fucking mental. Protesters in the UK can now be convicted of criminal damage but be sentenced as terrorists despite never having been convicted of a terror offence and without the jury knowing anything about it. Just a un unbelievable abuse of power by Justice Johnson.

On Monday, Dublin City council debated the Camden Yard project (and implicitly, the move from Wood Quay), but we were discussing a decision that had already been made.

The Climate and Society conference in DCU today shows that people still want us to live a better life, that protects the planet we depend on. The government doesn't.

In today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social We have all the statutory targets; rewetting, woodland, marine, free flowing rivers, but then there’s the really tricky bit; winning hearts and minds, writes @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

“What Mamdani just did to me, and more broadly is doing to the city of New York, is triggering of the trauma I went through in Chicago." - Ken Griffin, worth $50.3 billion, triggered

He refused to expand on whether this was a good difference or a bad difference www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

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

The Liffey is an icon of Dublin, but it’s also a dividing line. It divides the north from the south. There’s politicians in this election who want to further that division. But I don’t think that’s what we are about. When you’re on the Liffey you can see clearly that we are one city and one river.

Great fun day Pedal parade deputising for @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social Lord Mayor to Pedal Power Dublin Festival with @ibike.ie Creative Bees & Butterfly theme from @pedalpartyparade #bikeweek interviewed by @rtenews at festival about the huge range of events to suit everyone! #bicycle #bikelife

Glad to have been out canvassing again for Janet Horner yesterday afternoon She would be an excellent TD for Dublin Central. Give her your number 1 vote on May 22nd for a more affordable, livable, green, connected & inclusive city! @janetphorner.bsky.social

another appalling driver in a high end car - seriously injuring a cyclist, lying repeatedly and attempting to blame the cyclist. #spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/2026/05...

Hyper-local update! The section of path I requested in Walkinstown is being built!

The recent tragic death of Johnny Santos has given rise to calls in Dublin for Direct Vision, the standard for trucks that offers potentially life-saving improvements on city streets. But it shouldn't be only in Dublin. Here's our call- www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/its-time-for...

The OPW spends €1.2m of our money each year on car parking for civil servants. If a bike shed costing €127,000 stands for 20 years, the OPW will have, in that time, spent €24,000,000 of our money to rent car parking for well-paid office workers. www.thejournal.ie/readme/bike-...

The Taoiseach is tired of hearing how useless his Government have been on renewables without the Green Party...so make him listen with your vote! #greenparty #greensdeliver #janethorner #niallmurphy #dublincentral #galwaywest #greenpartyie #hornerinyourcorner #janetfortheplanet

The Green Party welcomes today’s judgment, which reinforces the purpose of the Safe Access Zones legislation that we brought forward and fought hard to deliver. 1/8

At the risk of getting piled on by techbros who think you should make electricity in the most *macho* way possible, I wrote for @jcfjustice.bsky.social about why nuclear power remains a dead-end in practical and ethical terms for Ireland: www.jcfj.ie/2026/05/06/t...

What do @pearsedoherty.bsky.social and @sinn-fein.bsky.social have against people who cycle? Safe, secure sheltered bike storage is not a luxury or an extravagance, it's a necessity, and deserves to be properly funded.

Two Green leaders. One message. Join us. 🌿 greenpartyni.org/join

No one can wait 20/40 years for nuclear to become a reality here. Government can do more right now to speed up delivery of renewables Tell them it matters! And if you can Vote Green on May 22nd!

Little things, like a left-turn traffic light for cyclists on O’Connell Bridge, but they make a difference. Irish Cycle has a write-up here: irishcycle.com/2026/05/02/o...

The old parties had their chance. They chose austerity, inaction, and broken promises. Today, choose differently. Vote Green in England , Scotland & Wales TODAY. 🗳️

Galway Advertiser, with quotes from me, highlights the impact that the Critical Infrstructure Bill will have on our climate targets www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...

This is an abhorrent decision. Rooted in a total ignorance of the conditions faced in these old inner-city flat complexes. I'm just out of a meeting with Oliver Bond residents and there's a real sense of hopelessness. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

So is he suggesting that people should have to change a successful business model because it has some negative side-effects?

The free trade elements of the CETA deal are already in place. So why does the government want to make Ireland subject to investor courts? We could be sued for making decisions that corporations don't like, as has happened to other countries before. Why sign up to that?

Ireland's future energy security lies in cheap & clean renewables. The Gov must focus on grants and state-led interventions at scale to get solar on every roof top and balcony and harness the wind around our coastline. Not drum up debate on red herring projects. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

👇worth noting if the government wants progress and not just distraction!

I was out yesterday promoting 30km/h speed limits across our city, not just in my area, but everywhere it matters. Safer streets for our children, around schools and in our communities. A safe city is a living city. 🚸

If you want just one chart to help you to evaluate how you should live your life, this one might be it... Enjoy your children while you can; call your friends and family a bit more often; learn how to enjoy your own company.

This is arson and it is a crime: "It is believed the vast majority of fires were deliberately set. The intention may be to burn off gorse and heather and promote grass growth ... It is difficult to catch people in the act of fire-setting and enforcement is virtually non-existent."

Fires devastate wildlife in both Mournes and Sliabh Beagh. A heavy toll for Curlew conservation projects: "We're talking about a 98% population decline over the last 10 or 20 years. It's got to the stage now where we really have to make sure that every nest survives' www.rte.ie/news/ulster/...

'Dublin Central deserves someone with real solutions, rather than hateful soundbites that are intended to sow division and fear' said Green candidate Janet Horner

The Taoiseach wants consideration of nuclear. I made a programme that did that. Long story short: an Irish nuclear power plant wouldn’t generate any electricity until 2066 at the very earliest. Link at end of thread.

An Coimisiún Toghcháin has urged voters in Galway West and Dublin Central to check the register and ensure they are eligible to vote in the upcoming bye-elections

V good article: "The reason our European peers have seen a 12 per cent drop in road deaths since 2019 in the same time we have seen a 31 per cent rise in ours is because we simply are not using the evidence-based solutions that already exist." www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Please, political journalists: Consult somebody with a bit of expertise before writing this kind of information, especially if you're going to print it as if it is fact. Despite the hype from “nuclear bros”, small modular reactors have not been proven to be cheap or even deliverable commercially.

Gerard Hutch’s comments on immigration, particularly singling out the Somali community, are prejudiced, harmful, and straight out of the Donald Trump playbook. #Ireland #Dublin #DublinCentral #NorthInnerCity

As Irish families are hit by a perfect storm of rising costs due to international instability, we cannot ask them to wait another 18 months for plug-in solar - a solution that is already proven to work. The Minister must progress his Department's work on plug-in solar with urgency.

Short-term lets may have their place in the provision of tourist accommodation. But councils have to be able to regulate them - to decide when there are enough properties used for short-term lets, and we need more long-term accommodation. Voters can decide if councillors have the balance right.

ANNOUNCING: Flávia Gouveia of the Belfast Telegraph chairs our panel on how we lower bills, bringing together voices from across society. Join us for a straight-talking conversation about the choices that can cut costs and build a fairer future. www.greenpartyni.org/green_pa...
