"Contrary to popular opinion, our [immigration] numbers are not large.
Nonetheless, we firmly believe they are. This is due to the “politics of affect”, whereby people are encouraged to have a number of anxieties about immigration & asylum that the Government can then respond to." #ireland

The Irish Refugee Council said Ireland´s proposed immigration changes are "deeply alarming"
"They severely undercut two key pillars of refugee integration: a clear route to citizenship & the ability to reunite with family."
Do you think refugees should be separated from family members? We don´t.

A map of Madrid´s bikesharing system. We call upon the relevant authorities to immediately prioritize & commit to the expansion & modernization of the DublinBikes scheme into a Dublin-Region Bikes network, covering all four local authority areas, publicly owned, similar to BiciMAD #dublinbikes #ccpi

#Ireland falls 4 places in this year's Climate Change Performance Index #CCPI. Not a surprise to anyone watching closely but we're hopeful public pressure can help prompt more action. Progress will also result improved affordability for citizens so it's a win win situation #ireland2030

It really is saddening to see in a climate crisis, the legislating to remove the passenger cap, commencement of Dublin-Derry short flights instead of rail, a skip on the weight-tax once again. We have so far to go on education & progress but we can't give up #Budget2026 #ireland #neoliberalism

The stark contrast in neoliberal politics vs social democracy laid bare. No "quick fix" indeed but how long have young people in Ireland been hearing this argument? Measures taken by Spain are FAR from perfect but better than nothing #priorities @irishtimes.com

'Post-truth' was nominated word of the year by Oxford dictionaries back in 2016. The current Israeli administration have done a masterful job in weaponizing this phenomenon. Established facts by the world´s leading institutions are routinely manipulated by weak logical fallacies.

It is really sad. RTÉ News can do it's part by reporting accurately on Ireland's trade with Israel, our politicians' refusal to impose economic sanctions on both a national level, and European level. The only language Netanyahu understands is money, and it's the step we won't take. #Gaza #ireland

Many groups have already called for a weight-tax on heavy vehicles at point of sale in #Ireland. We will set out our version of the proposal soon, with a focus on the shared benefits it brings our wider society, including possible exemptions. #TaxByWgt #sustainability #CCPI #economicfairness

It is good to see the government parties turn their focus to infrastructure. This will be crucial in preserving & expanding social mobility in an uncertain future. We note that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael were not the strongest on this during GE24 and will thus be keeping on eye on the detail #ireland

Don´t expect to see a huge amount of publicity around the presidential run of Catherine Connolly in the Irish Independent for example. They didn´t even include her in their recent presidential poll. Thankfully the site maintains a high factuality rating despite the right leaning bias #racetothearas

All the evidence is that, on the whole, voters prize fairness but are deeply opposed to equalized outcomes. Mixing up these two ideas has historically given a path to power for many leaders who believe in neither. We must distinguish between equal opportunity & equality of outcome #ireland #mobility

A housing estate, devoid of transit, breeds isolation. Vacuum filled by unchecked e-scooter use. When communities aren't connected, problems flourish. We need solutions, not just reactions. Extend the D2 route? @dublinbusnews.bsky.social #Parkside #UrbanPlanning

Having ideals is great but if we want to effectively fight populism, we must meet people where they are and not just where we want them to be. Thankfully there are also social media management tools that make this easier. Ireland´s top websites Apr 2025. #socialmobility #fightingpopulism #ireland

According to Eurostat & OECD data, Ireland consistently ranks near the top for rent as % of income. The EU's affordability threshold is 30% & we exceed this in #Dublin #Galway #Cork #Waterford & #Limerick.
The removal of rent caps without replacement creates policy uncertainty & fear. Fight back.

American and British oil companies waved contracts at locals but the rulers at the time were more interested in drilling for water due to poverty in these parts. #materialworld #metals #climate #ccpi #light
