And I'm sorry, but with so many now claiming the Greens "punched above their weight in government", it has to be said:
One Green minister drafted a forestry plan that was mostly about ramping up sitka, while another Green minister insisted sheep graze a national park.

One image goes a long way to explaining why Ireland is among the most nature-wrecked places on Earth: sheep + sitka.

Forests with multiple tree species are 70% more effective as carbon sinks than monoculture forests.
To slow the effects of climate change, conserve biodiversity, and meet the sustainable development goals, restoring forests is vital. Restored forests store carbon within the forest's soil & trees.

Tough year for art sales and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.
📌 Quick note that www.ciaraioch.com is now taking Christmas orders, and value bundles have been added to the store - each print is made in Ireland, shipped in eco-friendly packaging, and free hand-printed cards, stickers, mini-prints and bookmarks come with all orders 🎁 Go raibh míle maith agaibh!

What looks like moss on the north face of a giant slab of rock in the woods is, in fact, one of the three filmy ferns in Ireland associated with rainforest.
They're called 'filmy' because their fronds are only a single cell thick (amazing, huh?), and so are translucent.

Daniel Barenboim has long been a hero of mine. One of the best conductors and pianists of the last 50 years.
When he co-founded the Israeli-Palestinian youth symphony orchestra “West Eastern Divan Orchestra” with Palestinian Edward Said, in 1999, I gained even more respect and admiration for him.

Very sad to hear of the death of Edmund Lynch - he was an almost daily visitor to the Gutter Bookshop & was always great craic. He was delighted to be a Grand Marshal at Dublin Pride earlier this year (although he denied it...) I'll miss his caustic wit. #LGBTQ #Dublin
