This was probably the biggest climate demonstration in Ireland since 2019-2020!
A huge Green Party turnout at the National Climate March today to call on the government to stop the U-turns and get serious about climate action, nature restoration and ending fossil fuels.

The skies have cleared - time to get our March on
Tomorrow afternoon, as COP negotiations continue in Brazil, the Green Party will be one of over 60 groups and organisations coming together to march through the streets of Dublin calling for climate action, now!
We hope to see you there!

#AI isn’t sorting climate chaos, it’s making it much, much worse, and increasing inequality at the same time.
We have a choice - this option does _not_ have to be taken. We need to fight more seriously against the AI take over

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

I've had another illegal AirBnB in #Dublin shut down.
But it's a drop in the ocean.
Here's why the system doesn't work - and what we need to do to fix it.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

It's been 3 months since I posed this question to the Min. for Health and HSE.
The climate emergency isn’t just about weather - it’s about lives.
And if we aren't measuring something, we can’t manage it.

I worked on this terrible bill in then Senator Grace O’Sullivan’s office, with @whittledaway.bsky.social, @naturenymph.bsky.social, @fintankelly.bsky.social, @aliceeire.bsky.social and many others. We had to campaign for months just to remove a section that would have decimated our hedgerows.
Heather Humphreys was a disaster as minister in charge of heritage and nature. She didn't meet nature groups and seemed to have no interest in her job expect for when it came to weaking wildlife laws to allow more burning and hedge-cutting.
