The Irish media’s Michael O’Leary fetish continues. The attention he gets—despite sickening comments like this, is mind-blowing.

This #EarthDay2025 seems a good moment to share some Gerard Manley Hopkins:
“What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet”

Hugely irresponsible, even if we didn't know that climate collapse will be calamitous in every other way too.

Geraldine Herbert: Cutting speed limits and changing our car-centric culture isn’t about restricting freedom – it’s about creating it
Could a city with a similar population to Galway ever reduce road deaths to zero in a single year? It sounds unfeasible, but it can be done.
