What a joy to listen to @catherinegalway.bsky.social @universityofgalway.bsky.social #Lit&Deb this week. Here Catherine Connolly speaks of respecting her hosts, their plans for the evening, and her willingness to take questions throughout this campaign #integrity #respect #aras2025

'The real scandal here is not “bike shed groundhog day.” It’s the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.' Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/readme/bike-...

I understand tonight that concerns are growing in Fine Gael circles (!) that Éamon Ó Cuív's astonishingly unguarded intervention in the presidential election campaign could act as permission for some of the simpler dyed-in-the-wool Fianna Fáil voters to give their No 1 outside the pale. #Áras25

Salthill. It’s days like today you want protected cycle networks. Very gusty.

Unflappable #Uachtarán

The funny thing is, whoever likely broke the law to leak confidential Garda vetting information about a private citizen with a political aim to hurt Catherine Connolly in her run for #Áras25 has just demonstrated she can & does seek the advice from colleagues with different politics #Spéirghorm

Minister Canny’s U-turn on safer urban speeds risks lives and life-changing injuries. It cannot be let stand. We were proud to visit the Dáil today at the invitation of Ciaran Ahern TD to send the Minister our simple message: No delays. No excuses. Implement the law now.

It was an honour to be in Leinster House today representing Ireland’s Future, and to spend time with Irish Presidential candidate, Catherine Connolly. She is a genuinely warm and compassionate person, deeply committed to the people of Ireland. We look forward to working with her in the time ahead.

A reminder that this rally is happening this coming Thursday 2nd Oct. Please support it if you can by joining us on the day or contact your local TDs & ask them to attend the Love 30 presentation in the AV room. This effects rural Ireland as much as it does our larger towns and cities. Bígí linn!

Ciaran Ferrie's piece in @irishexaminer.bsky.social nails the Govts capitulation on the Speed Limit Review. Identifying the urban roads that should be 50km (arterial) and 30km (everywhere else) is a relatively simple technical exercise with a small bit of guidance. Absolute cowardice.

Go sábháiltear Kevin.

Kevin nó Kévin sa Fhrainc. Brian nó Brayan sa Cholóim. Mo thrua iad agus a n-ainmneacha uaisle. 😥

"I sat on a Joint Policing Committee for quite some time in my life, and the biggest request was for more Community Guards on the ground... Walking around, a presence, on bicycles where we can engage with them and feel safer." #TonightVMTV

Níl Catherine Connolly dall ar impiriúlachas na Rúise ar chor ar bith, ná ar impiriúlachas na Stát Aontaithe. Duine macánta í a sheasann go neamhbhalbh ar son neodrachas na tíre — rud a chuireann as do lucht na cumhachta — agus dá bharr sin is cur síos claonta a bheas uirthi sa Times & RTÉ.

There is something so magical and calming (at least for me) about being able to ride for miles and miles on car-free infrastructure. We should build more Greenways (& protected bike infra) in more places so that more people can experience this joy and freedom.

We have all been saying that government needs to move from X/Twitter to Bluesky, so give these people and other govt departments a follow! #Speirgorm

“I’m trying to find a monastery where all the monks are over six foot five” “That’s a tall order”

"Is siombail mise d'fheachtas atá i bhfad níos mó ná aon duine amháin, feachtas atá ag aontú daoine le chéile, atá bunaithe ar síocháin, ar an gcothroime, ar ghuth a thabhairt dóibh siúd nach bhfuil aon ghuth acu. Ceithre seachtaine le dul!"

Car company: our entry level cars are now like Ferraris!! Community: can we get a speed bump on our street to help slow down drivers City: No, it will upset drivers. That’s the entirety of the safe streets discussion.

Well done to the @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social for their work on the new Irish Primary School Curriculum. Cycling has been moved from the "adventure" activity area to "Active Living" in the Wellbeing Spec Irish Cycling Campaign Submission on Wellbeing Curriculum – share.google/Z93TeanM7m0Q...

#autism #tylenol I guess I’ll have to dig this out many many times in the next few days

The government is: ❌ Failing to provide good quality active transport infrastructure ❌ Failing to introduce a 30 km/h default urban speed limit ❌ Failing to protect people Make no mistake, the rise in people being killed is not an accident — it’s the result of political choices.

I welcome the announcements that Sinn Féin and @greenpartyie.bsky.social are backing my candidacy for president of Ireland, I am very much heartened by their support. The coalition of left, centre left parties and independents backing my run for president is a welcome change for Irish politics.

Those who cause the least danger on our roads suffer the greatest consequences. We are being failed by the government and by the state agencies responsible for keeping our roads safe.

www.jcfj.ie/2025/09/18/d... Students and young adults are regularly disregarded when it comes to enforcing tenant rights and are deemed 'lucky' enough to have a place to stay during the school year, even if it's only Monday-Thursday. But shouldn't they also be granted housing protections?

Young people feel disconnected from the decision-making processes that impact them at both local and national level, Cllr Alan Curran writes www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...

The 27 year old woman who was killed in Cork yesterday was cycling on a 50kph street in an urban area. The default 30kph limit promised by the govt may not have saved her life but it will save lives in the future. We can't allow them to renege on that promise. www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Táim ar son na beatha. Ach is leithne é sin ná bheith i gcoinne ginmhilleadh. Tá ceart beatha ag an duine ó thuismeadh go bás nádúrtha. Táim i gcoinne easpa srianta ar ghunnaí. Táim i gcoinne cogadh ionradh Táim i gcoinne faillí a chuireann daoine i mbaol. @tusaite.bsky.social

One in three fatal crashes is linked to speeding. Yet speed limit reforms have been shelved. 🚦 Road safety is not urban vs rural, or green vs anti-green. It’s a public good. My latest @independent.ie opinion column 👇 #RoadSafety www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

Ní ró shásta atá Catherine Connolly le cinneadh TG4 gan díospóireacht a reáchtáil. “Tá sé aisteach go mbeadh cinneadh déanta ag TG4 gan díospóireacht a thionóil go háirithe nuair nach bhfuil na hiarrthóirí ar fad fós ainmnithe," arsa Connolly. jrnl.ie/6812804
