Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Decision made on the proposal by some Limerick councillors to dramatically reduce hours of the bus lane on O’Connell Street:

Basic sanity prevails: the bus lane will REMAIN A BUS LANE

Thanks to all who reminded the mayor & council of the importance of the bus lane.

This is so spot on. As a climate scientist and public intellectual, I see or experience these often

5 star submission 👏
Hands off O'Connell Street, #Limerick bus lane. One councillor suggested, "Let's give it a go." How about taking the correct approach and doing a traffic survey first?

Here is the submission I made. If you have the time, please submit your comments.

I hope this helps! @lmkurbancycling.bsky.social

Limerick traders are struggling because not enough people are living in the city—not because there are not enough cars. Public transport plays an essential role in a thriving city, facilitating easy and efficient movement for residents and visitors alike. 1/2

Had chats with people prior the election on this. These reports should outline how long people have been here, what they've contributed to our society, and how difficult a process it was to attain citizenship more.

A lot of people have the wrong impression citizenship is frivolously handed out.

There's a lot of shit that doesn't work well in Ireland but our electoral process is thankfully not one of them. I may not always love how people vote, but can't fault the manner in which they do so. #GE24 #PRSTVFTW

Given the enormity of Covid and how long it went on for...it's mad to think it's a non-entity in this election campaign #GE24

The climate section of the #leadersdebate will boil down to 'anything good, we did it, anything bad, the greens did it' #ge24 Anyone legitimately concerned about climate should vote for the greens. They are the only party that will keep climate and the environment as red lines in coalition talks

Simon Harris with a good response to Mary Lou on their support of the garda, which is highly questionable to be fair, and Micheal Martin with a fair point on what Stephen Donnelly had done in terms of women's healthcare #ge24 #leadersdebate

To be fair multi annual funding should be the norm in all departments. How can any department plan strategically without it? #GE24 #leadersdebate

Simon Harris comes across as quite slimly, Marey Loon comes across as an empty vessel and, surprisingly, MM comes across as quite astute - however I won’t be voting for any of their parties as they don’t give a fuck about the climate - it’s just about power and their pensions… #RTEPT #GE24

Michael Martin coming across as the adult in the room at the moment #ge24 Not sure if it's because he's doing well or because Harris and Mary Lou are flustering each other with constant interruptions

As more of the people they love to hate move here, the trolls will be here too looking for attention. If they come for you please block immediately and give them no air whatsoever. Time is precious, life is short.

The problem with the #UpFront debate was that there weren’t enough leaders on stage. I think we should have all 160 TDs in three times a week for debates. Perhaps in some kind of chamber

Fair play to @katiehannon.bsky.social managing this debate. Impossible task! Smaller parties not really getting a look in so far! #RTEupfront
