“False inhibitors to growth” according to Fianna Fáil Minister for Climate Action as he removes the flight cap at Dublin Airport, allowing emissions to rise. Next time you’re stuck in traffic on the M50, or hit by extreme weather remember this. www.rte.ie/news/politic...
O'Leary urges end of passenger cap before Patrick's Day
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has called for the Dublin Airport passenger cap to be removed before St Patrick's Day "rather than delaying another 12 months".

Some serious coastal flooding along Dublin’s DART line this week, and more protection clearly needed. Here’s my submission from last October.

Conscious any discussion on transport is polarising but can we agree on:
🚗 Less speeding in cities and towns
👮♀️ A Garda focus on speed enforcement
🛣 Road design and landscaping to reinforce this
🚴♀️ Cycling facilities that protect children (and ourselves)
🏍 Confiscation of illegal souped-up e-bikes?

Renovation beats relocation. The most sustainable building is the one that already exists. www.dublininquirer.com/in-justifyin...

Wow! Almost a 50% drop in greenhouse gas emissions in the EU energy sector over the last decade.
That's a huge leap forward, but we'll have to ramp up our investment in grids to continue this progress in the years ahead. ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/...
