Galway arson cases in Roscahill in 2024 and in Kiltulla in 2020 led to no convictions, giving other violent racists more confidence they will get away with it. Sadly an IPAS centre in Drogheda was attached last night.

I'll be in Galway later this month talking about Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). I'll be particularly talking about an MPA for Galway Bay - what would it look like? How would it work? What could we expect from it in terms of wildlife recovery?

An Coimisiún Pleanála ( formerly ABP) have passed the Dyke Road Car Park Development in #Galway for 219 Apartments. The details of the conditions will be issued later. I am hoping some of the flood issues I raised have been considered.

Hospitality industry needed support in the budget, but by using a very blunt instrument we are subsidising fast food too much. The VAT reduction should have been targeted at the smaller businesses where it is most needed.
It's official. They're giving big restaurant chains a massive tax cut, costing nearly €700m in the #VAT cut to hospitality.
For that kind of money you could:
