More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém (Brazil), 12% up from last year’s talks in Baku, Azerbaijan.

What should be the most serious, urgent talks on the planet continue to be a farce.

What a magical, emotional day! Started at 9am as ballots tumbled onto count tables, and we tallied alongside volunteers, activists, politicians of all hues. Then up to Dublin Castle for the national count and the final announcement.

So 2 journalists and a production team planned a high stakes #Presidential #debate and they could not come up with one new or creative question. I'm not a journo, but here are a few:
What is your vision for Ireland in 5yrs, 10yrs, 20yrs?
Who have you met during your campaign who inspires you? 1/2

Margaret Hogan, who "is ONLY 82yrs" was with us again. Her energy kept us going as the wind picked up and temperature dropped.

What a joy to listen to @catherinegalway.bsky.social @universityofgalway.bsky.social #Lit&Deb this week.
Here Catherine Connolly speaks of respecting her hosts, their plans for the evening, and her willingness to take questions throughout this campaign #integrity #respect #aras2025

Smear campaigns only work if targets try to run from their actions. Deputy Connolly, standing firm on her actions, turns table on accusers, in defense of a citizen's privacy, and her critics' hypocrisy

"This is not peace, it's a colonial carve up. And one of it's purposes is to try and demobilise people. They are now scared."

Don't let the obscene "peace plan" of US & Israel distract you from the reality.

Continue to mobilise and follow the example of Italian workers - we must shut things down.

'The real scandal here is not “bike shed groundhog day.” It’s the groundhog day of car dependency, subsidised at vast public expense, locking us into congestion, pollution, poor health and missed climate targets.'

Great piece from @ciarancannon.bsky.social

Opinion: Those outraged by a €100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces
We have completely normalised investment in congestion, pollution and the continuation of car-first planning, writes Ciarán Cannon.

@manchanmagan.bsky.social Terribly sad to hear the news of the death of #ManchanMagan
I enjoyed everything he did. His curiosity for a new topic was infectious. His joy at delving into our culture and language was a gift to us all. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

This is a choice which seems overwhelmingly popular among their peers on campus.”

This Presidential election is clearly going to centre on neutrality.

There is one pro-neutrality candidate.

There are two pro-war candidates.

Make your choice.
