A note for the festive period.
While "An Irish Goodbye" commonly means to leave with no notice, a true Irish Goodbye requires an announcement that you're leaving, an "I'm actually leaving now" round of goodbyes, and 40 minutes at the front door nursing your keys.
Know your goodbyes. Choose wisely.

Brilliant longread thread on smaller parties in government coalitions:
We’re a week into Ireland’s #GE24 campaign and there’s lots of talk of not only who will top the poll, but what small parties or independents will be asked to ‘make up the numbers’ and form a coalition government.

Portugal generated 95% electricity from renewables in April.
More of Europe needs to follow the enlightened politics and financial investments of Southern Europe and ignore the backward destructive idiocy of Germany.

Renewables covered 95% of Portugal’s power needs last month
Portugal has made huge progress in renewable power, up from 27 per cent in 2005 and 54 per cent in 2017.

Great to see the new two-way segregated safe #cycleway in use on Deansgrange Road in #Dublin #Ireland today. A #sustainble alternative to cars.

The @irishtimes.bsky.social “Sign of the Times” survey by Ipsos B&A has insights into #climatecrisis views in Ireland: “Concern about the climate crisis continues to drop as environment fatigue appears to be setting in despite multiple temperature record-breaking months over the past year.”
