Education has a role to play but the key to making our streets safer and more enjoyable for everyone is better active transport infrastructure.
That is what DCC should be focusing on, not provocative social media campaigns that simply fuel more conflict.

Dublin City Council wants us to ‘be sound’, but safe behaviour starts with safe streets. Instead, we get PR stunts, victim-blaming, and cycle lanes straight out of a sadistic parody.
Read my take on their recent campaigns on my Substack.

You want us to be sound, Dublin City Council? Then build safe streets.
Dublin City Council’s latest campaigns willfully miss the point—safe behaviour starts with safe infrastructure.

If you believe that all this tariff nonsense is about re-shoring, I can see how you would be confused.

President Zelenskyy showed more backbone and self-respect in one Oval Office meeting than the entire GOP has collectively demonstrated over the last 9 years.
He is standing up for his people while Trump mows through ours.

I wish I had some land to rewild!
Launching! 🚀
Today I'm launching a new service for landowners in Ireland who want to rewild their land. I hope this will be the start of a network that will promote rewilding in this country - the time is right!

Ukrainians will resist and we will support them! ✊
We shouldn't take anything off the table before the negotiations have even started.
It is clear that any deal behind our backs will not work.
You need the Europeans, you need the Ukrainians.
