The @irishwoodlandtrust.bsky.social has bought 82 acres of Atlantic rainforest, bog, + heath for protection in Connemara, their 14th reserve. This is absolutely brilliant, and shows the way. How can the Irish state, with all its resources, still not manage to properly protect our national parks???

If you come across any public blue badge bays that have faded paint, can you take a photo and send me the location to [email protected]. These should all have white paint on a blue background. There's too much abuse of these bays in general. I'm making a list of locations to send to the team

Nilay was a qualified soccer coach who helped train kids of different ages and abilities with Knocknacarra FC. She helped with our u6/7 girls every Saturday morning with great enthusiasm, warmth, and encouragement. We were shocked to hear about her death. The story below is heartbreaking.

Every councillor is given an allowance of €30,000 p.a. to spend on projects within their local area as part of the Local Improvement Scheme (LIS) allocation. It's generally spent on improving infrastructure such as repairing footpaths, resurfacing laneways, improving playground/sports facilities etc

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

I think the images launching the Salthill Village and Seafront Framework are fantastic.

Incredibly positive to see 👏👏 www.galwaycity.ie/homepage/sal...

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.
