Our new journal paper has hit the front pages and got wide coverage on the airwaves this morning. The paper critically assesses “temperature neutrality” as a basis for Ireland’s long-term climate target. We find it amounts to backsliding on climate ambition and locks in food system unfairness.

🏗️ 👷👷‍♀️ Who believes we need 30,000 fewer skilled construction workers than already envisaged? Well, the government has scaled down its target from 80,000 new skilled construction workers to 50,000 in the National Development Plan (NDP) review

Marching with Rathdown for Palestine and @oisinoconnor.bsky.social this afternoon. I stand with Gaza.

Bonfires can bring communities together, but there’s nothing cultural about racism, sectarian threats, or putting people’s homes & health at risk. When bonfires are used to intimidate or target minorities, that isn’t tradition - it’s hate. Celebration is about respect, safety, & dignity for all.

Absolutely shameful that students and their families still have no clarity on cost of fees for 25/26 academic year www.rte.ie/news/2025/07...

Thanks to @evadowling.bsky.social and @younggreens.ie for powerfully making the case against the Government’s proposal to hike student fees.

📢 Minister Lawless must stop the €1K hike in college fees immediately. He should apologise to students and their families for the uncertainty he has caused. Stand up, fight back!

💶 A couple of euro saved… a €10m hole in the budget. A majority of DLR councillors just voted to slash Local Property Tax by 15% — a token cut that’ll save the average homeowner €1–2 a week. Meanwhile, footpaths, bins, housing maintenance and community spaces will take the hit.

Parliament Street is now traffic free. It's a big win: these things don't come naturally, though, and it'll progressive staff, politicians and Dubliners to keep this sort of thing coming. Onwards! 🍕🍕🍕

📢🌳🚶🚲 Have your say on DLR Connector! DLR Connector would see 6km of new segregated cycle lanes and walking facilities. I really like this project, but the Council want to hear what you think about it. More: evadowling.ie/dlrconnector Consultation closes on July 15th

Can’t believe this needs to be protested again - the college students of today have long memories

College fees must not be increased. Join me and other opposition spokespeople. 6pm, Tuesday 8th July, Leinster House

🚨🚨🚨 THE STUDENT CONTRIBUTION FEE IS INCREASING 🚨🚨🚨 #Ireland #Education #Students #SocialJustice

Third level students and their families deserve better than false promises. This government should scrap the €1,000 hike in fees without delay, so that students can prepare and budget for the academic term ahead.

Hope always beats Hate. Over 100,000 people defied Victor Orban to march in #BudapestPride today 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇭🇺

Greens joined thousands of marchers at #DublinPride today. Pride is a protest, and we marched in solidarity with our brothers + sisters in #Budapest + #Ballymena in particular this year 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Solidarity with Budapest ✊ Solidarity with Ballymena ✊ 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony has bravely stood up against Viktor Orbán's government and supported the organisers of Budapest Pride. Many of the events taking place this weekend are being hosted by his office. And he's a Green too 😊

A brief update ahead of tomorrow's Budapest Pride. While the parade itself is banned, we learned that up to 4 counter-marches have been granted licences and will take place along the route.

The new plans for College Green look great. It'll take political and public pressure to get it done - the Greens will be backing it all the way. We can build a better Dublin: we just need to keep pushing for it!

Yesterday we members of the Advisory of the National Action Plan Against Racism held a discussion with civil society on racism & met with the EU Commission Lead on Anti Racism Michaela Moua. The Government is failing in our fight against racism and needs to prioritise the implementation of the plan!

New plans for College Green are here!! Now with added trees, spaces to sit, play and engage with our beautiful city far from the noise, pollution and danger of the traffic! This is the kinda vision the @greenpartyie.bsky.social have been working towards for years for our city centre! 😍🌳💚

See you soon Budapest 🏳️‍🌈 Wishing everyone in Dublin an enjoyable, empowering and safe Pride this weekend. I'll be joining the (now banned) parade in Budapest, in solidarity with our LGBTI+ siblings in Hungary. We won't allow Viktor Orban's scapegoating of minorities to row back our rights ✊

Loving the new proposal for Dublin’s College Green. Here’s hoping the plans bear fruit and that we don’t have another Groundhog Day. Have your say: engage.dublincity.ie/en-IE/projec...

Shhh - quiet down the back. (A quiet video on what the Greens want to do to improve Ireland's public transport.)

Huge honour to chair my first Climate Action Strategic Policy Committee meeting last night. Looking forward to the term ahead.

I'm very happy to share with you that, through all of our efforts, we have convinced TII to increase the number of Luas services running from Bride's Glen every morning. I still think we need more Luas trams running in our fast-growing area so I'll keep the pressure on TII for more.

Passing the Occupied Territories Bill would reverberate internationally — but FF/FG are stalling. The Attorney General's advice last July raised no issues with banning trade in services with illegal settlements. Govt. must stop delaying and bring forward the OTB now. @rodericogorman.bsky.social

The Green Party strongly welcomes the decision of the Camogie Association to call a Special Congress to vote on a motion to allow players to wear shorts or a skort. Delegates must vote in the best interest of their players at both club and county level. @cllrhonorekamegni.bsky.social

This week, the Irish government decided it doesn't trust Dubliners enough to have a more direct say in how Dublin is run. Is it any wonder the OECD have reported we have one of the most centralised systems of government among developed countries?

Congratulations to @evadowling.bsky.social on being appointed Spokesperson for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science!

Seven months. Three elections: Local Election, General Election and Seanad Election. Things I've learned (Part 1 of 3 since there's a 60 second video limit) #politics #morewomen #irishpolitics #dublin #Ireland #climateaction #inclusion #diversity

Well done Eva. A really strong result. Thank you for being such a strong candidate for @greenpartyie.bsky.social 🌻

Huge congratulations to Councillor Eva Dowling @evadowling.bsky.social on her fantastic result in the #NUI #Seanad election today - trebling the vote and coming in 4th place is a testament to her campaign focused on promoting equality and protecting nature.

Say hello to your Green Team in the Oireachtas! Today, @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social has been elected to Seanad Éireann on the Agricultural Panel, topping the poll and being elected on the first count, no less! Together, we will work to bring strong green representation to the Oireachtas 💪🌿🌍

Congratulations to the three incumbent senators in this final NUI election. Outstanding results! Huge thanks to everyone who voted, nominated, campaigned for and supported me 💚 Best of luck to my @greenpartyie.bsky.social colleagues @hazelchu.bsky.social and @smytho.bsky.social over in TCD 🌻

I said during the election that a Government relying on independents would be unstable. I didn’t think it would be unable to even elect a Taoiseach!

A ceasefire and deal in Gaza is welcome, if long-overdue. We must ensure now that it translates into a longer-term ceasefire and peace agreement - Ireland and the EU must do all in their power to ensure this happens and there is no return to violence.

Delighted to welcome @greenpartyie.bsky.social to Dublin West for our Annual Convention today 🌻

Huge congratulations to Ciara, Saoirse and Laoise on winning the Young Scientist top prize 👏👏
