Starting to wonder what kind of scolding An Taoiseach and the Irish contingent will get when over in the White House on St Patrick's Day. Trump and Vance: "You all should be very, very grateful on how we drove all the snakes out of Ireland (and into the White House) for you!"

Zelenskyy's country is being bombed and millions have had to flee but Trump-Vance thinks he should be more thankful and kowtow. Just like Palestinians should have been grateful for Trump's plans to displace and ethnically cleanse 2.2 million people from Gaza. This is what dictatorship looks like.

As the COP16 Biodiversity Conference resumes in Rome, we remain at war with nature. We need a meaningful debate in the Oireachtas to tackle biodiversity loss on an all-island basis to call a truce. @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/7kYXH...

All Governments must be held to account. Accountability is searching and rigorous - that's democracy. To give that role to your own TDs is a stroke, and it weakens our national parliament. @greenpartyie.bsky.social is united with other parties in opposing this.

Just to say I've spoken to DCC area manager re: the destruction of Mountpleasant Square wall in Ranelagh by a driver last night and they'll be working with parks to look at reconstruction and making the area safe. The wall will take a bit longer to reconstruct. Any questions let me know.

The Newborn Baby Grant will be paid today to over 4,400 families, a direct €280 baby boost payment to help with the costs of parenthood. This is a key Green Party initiative that @rodericogorman.bsky.social fought for inclusion in Budget 2025. www.thejournal.ie/over-4400-fa... #GreensDeliver

The arrival of a new baby is the most joyous moment for families, but it also means plenty of new costs. I’m pleased to have fought to get the €280 Baby Boost payment included in Budget 2025 - a key Green Party initiative benefitting families directly www.thejournal.ie/over-4400-fa...

This next Government will be more conservative than the last. A business-as-usual approach will not deliver fair and affordable housing solutions, even if we are increasing supply. If elected to the Seanad, I will work to improve and amend legislation that better serves people, not just developers.

[email protected] are committed to Facial Recognition despite the concerns about efficacy & civil liberties. The PfG renews that commitment to roll out FRT. Worryingly it goes much further, and pledges to introduce live FRT. This is in essence mass surveillance and should worry everyone. 1/4
