Raising the matter of Marine Protected Area (MPA) legislation with MoS for Marine, Timmy Dooley.
He tells me a new approach bringing amendments to the MAP Act is nearing completion and includes many of the elements of the old draft bill, including public participation.

Today’s deal falls short of the hope and leadership Europe needs.
Instead of fully committing to climate action at home, EU member states added a loophole that lets them count climate projects in other countries towards their emissions targets 🧐

Car insurance costs are up 9%, yet profits are down.
The way we have set up insurance in Ireland is mad, leading to high legal costs and inconsistent payouts. It leaves consumers paying way over the odds.
