Just this morning another person on a bike was struck at this junction by a person driving a car. Thankfully the person was able to walk away but very shaken and bruised.

Historically illiterate American reactionary and opportunist in Munich lecturing Europeans about Neo-Nazism. Another reminder that when the far-right refer to ‘free speech’ they mean the toleration and accommodation of extremism.

Lads this is a joke. Loads have been begging for more greenery in the City and all we get is excuses. Now we know we won’t get the bigger stuff since they can’t just replace trees in tree bases that are already there. Please raise a stink! Pics from @seanydunne.bsky.social

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! New social 🙋‍♂️ @rewildyourland.bsky.social take a look 👇 www.rewildyourland.ie

I won't lie: after 3 weeks of experiencing almost unimaginably abundant and diverse Costa Rican nature, returning home to the Irish ecological moonscape is a visceral gut punch. But what Costa Rica shows is that it doesn't have to stay like this: nature CAN return. #Rewilding 🌍

Imagine catching 50 drivers in a single day in Cork on their phones at the wheel, and still mentioning hi-viz as a so called safety mechanism for vulnerable road users? Clueless

This is the junction at Eastgate in Ballincollig. Narrow footpaths with obstacles, a pinch point for buses and no safe route through for cyclists. As a main artery into Ballincollig village, improvements under Bus Connects can't come quick enough.

Well past time for the public sector to start migrating to new platforms. Sticking to the previously old reliables during major events just won't cut it anymore.

We had a productive first meeting of the year tonight for Ballincollig Sustainable Travel. Lots of plans to promote and improve active travel for our community are in the pipeline for the year ahead. Lookout for updates here soon and anyone who wishes to get involved can send a DM for info.

This mentions a Rhododendron Walking Festival supported by Tipp council. Of all the ways to enjoy nature and the outdoors, a festival celebrating one of the most damaging invasive species is pretty odd.

It’s disconcerting to see statements like “There won’t be as many cycle lanes built, that’s for sure” ... “It’ll be about big picture stuff now.” Cycle lanes are the big picture if we want to cut emissions, avoid climate fines, and improve public health.

So I didn't talk about this here, was waiting on an outcome but none is coming it looks like. My dad got hit by a car a month ago and was very lucky to escape with only a minor shoulder and elbow injury, helmet cracked so no concussion. Driver drove off without stopping. Could have been much worse.

Carnage on the roads. The chair of Climate & Health Alliance in a critical condition after being hit by a car. In the past year or two, two others I know have been knocked off their bikes - the president of a sporting body and the head of an environmental NGO - both recovered thankfully.

Not bothered about the demise of Facebook or Instagram. The Merlin app is keeping me going these days! Some bird chat captured on a recent walk in the Regional Park. Have seen all of these at in the park at one stage or another, except the Long-tailed Tit.

Lose all respect for groups or organisations using AI generated imagery. The lack of imagination, the devaluing of art and photography, the corner-cutting and cheapness of it. Would rather have photos of coddle stapled to my eyeballs.

Just spotted this on Instagram by a local cafe. Not a social media guru by any stretch but would be hopeuful that the way forward for businesses would be to choose real images of their products instead of this kind of slop. Looks like it could be from a pixar movie.
