Volunteers drive integration right across Ireland; great for the new Minister for Migration to take the time to see this work first hand!
Great to welcome our new Minister with Responsibility for Migration, Colm Brophy TD, to Citywest today. We were delighted to be able to share the valuable work that our Community Volunteers have done in supporting frontline efforts over the last number of years! #alwaysvolunteering

This is really quite something. In public transport world getting improvements of a few percent here and there is the norm - improvements of 25-30% on journey times and 25% on passenger numbers is pretty massive. Dublin is really taking strides on making transport fit for the public!
Bus journey times are:
Down 25% in the morning on the north quays ↘️
Down 32% in the evening on the south quays ↘️
Thanks to the first phase of the City Centre Transport Plan. Dublin bus passenger numbers up 25% since pre-COVID ⬆️

And if you want to #DoGoodInDublin from the comfort of your own home, how about taking part in the National Garden Bird Survey? By taking part you’re helping provide important information on how our bird populations are faring during the harsh winter months each year.

In Dublin City Centre tonight? Don’t be shocked if you happen to see a giant 20 metre newt meandering about the place.
Created by Macnas, the giant puppet (named Alf) will appear on Capel Street at 7.30pm this evening.
Alf will then wind his way south over the Liffey, ending up at Dublin Castle.

Please let us know what you think? #CooktopBETA
Many people do not have the space or permission to socially gather or have a barbecue at their home.
Would the addition of public, electric, cooktops to our parks or beaches be a good idea?
