Micheál Martin raises the white flag on achieving our climate targets 🏳️
A Government with no leadership, no ambition and no ideas.

Promised more playgrounds for our area when I stood for election.

Designs for the new playground beside Meadowbrook swimming pool just dropped 🔥

Listen back as I spoke to Matt Cooper on Today FM about the Government's new Drone Policy Framework yesterday.

The new drone policy leaves communities exposed.

No rules on noise. No protection for homes. No say for residents.

We need safeguards before rollouts – not years later.

Noise complaints are the number one issue residents raise with @rodericogorman.bsky.social about drones in Dublin 15.

At today’s meeting of the Oireachtas Transport Committee, Roderic pressed Manna CEO Bobby Healy on when quieter propellers will finally be rolled out.

Here's what he said👇

I have today made a comprehensive observation to planners on the drone delivery hub proposed for Dundrum village.

This drone port plan is a textbook case of big business first, people-later.

💶 A couple of euro saved… a €10m hole in the budget 😞

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, and community spaces take the hit.

The Government delayed the 2025 Climate Action Plan for months.

Now it’s finally here – but it lacks the urgency to build on record emissions cuts achieved in the last Government.

FF/FG are taking their foot off the pedal at the worst possible time.

Taking the bus to @rte.ie to discuss why litter and dumping are such issues in the inner city, the role of CCTV and what else I want to see done about it.
Thanks to the Blessington St bus stop for illustrating the problem nicely for me!

Renewables are Europe‘s future, covering almost 1/2 of energy consumption (2024).

"The amount of progress made in five years of the European Green Deal should inspire confidence in what can be achieved by 2030."

We can do it. We must stay on track.

I didn’t think it would be unable to even elect a Taoiseach!
