Meanwhile we had a fantastic sunset on the Sligo coast yesterday

I think this means 'stupid' in Vermont. We can always count on Vermont to be a bit different...

Our beautiful ash tree starting to push through. Fears of up to 90% loss much reduced. Natural resistance growing @greenparty.org.uk www.bbc.com/news/article...

Today I heard former President Mary Robinson speak about #ProjectDandelion, the rise of misinformation, the importance of the Digital Service Act, and her new role as a ‘Guardian of the Planetary Boundaries’. Truly inspiring. Thanks Coimisiún na Meán for organising #ClimateJustice

My op-ed on why we need to progress the current Occupied Territories Bill 👇 www.thejournal.ie/readme/occup...

The 21st Century generator - we need to start talking about this. We go into storms with phones, laptops and CARS 100% charged. Many are using the power plug in the car to power essentials in house - with up to a week's worth of energy stored in a modern car. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Very good new series on the challenges and mystery of retrofit www.irishexaminer.com/property/res...

Congratulations on the opposition standing united to block this! You cannot write the program for government and then claim to be the opposition. Time for the Healy-Raes to stop playing both sides. www.irishtimes.com/politics/oir...

Sinn Féin's transport policies are failing Belfast. Despite traffic volumes on major routes like the M1 and Upper Newtownards Road falling by up to 18% since 2013, congestion has worsened.

While LA burns, Fianna Fáil says pro-climate policies are ‘open for discussion’ www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Delighted our two big projects in Maynooth are maturing. €3million to finish the Royal Canal Greenway and €2.5 million for the Mill Street upgrade with new pedestrian/bike bridge www.kfmradio.com/news/localne...

Democratic House Rep. Shri Thanedar calling it like he sees it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Time to step up a gear? A clear message from Building Performance Institute Europe on renovating buildings to meet our climate goals www.bpie.eu/publication/...

Over the past four and a half years, the number of organic farmers in Ireland has more than trebled: from about 1,600 to 5,700. x.com/pippa_hacket...

Council plans to green Dublin 8’s Golden Lane, to help it sop up rain better. Tree pits, rain gardens, and swales would help absorb rain, to reduce the flow into the sewers when it’s really tipping it down. dublininquirer.com/2...

Yikes! “…effectively certain that 2024 is going to be the warmest year on record...” Another reason for stepping up our work on #climate in the years ahead. climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-...

We can be proud that we had courage and held to our convictions @eamonryan.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

BREAKING‼️ @ciarancuffe.bsky.social has been elected as the new co-chair of the @europeangreens at the #EGPCongress2024 💚

🌻 More than 400 Green delegates, leaders, activists & supporters will gather at the European Green Congress in Dublin. We will 🗳️ elect new co-chairs, committee members & Secretary General 📄 vote on important resolutions 💚welcome new members in the Green family

A great tribute to 15 minute Paris www.facebook.com/share/r/15Ho...

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

The traffic changes on Dublin's quays are working. Faster buses, less traffic, footfall up. I think it's a huge win for the city.

Happy with this list from #spotify

John Goodwillie was a most inspirational man, a true democrat, believing in the representation of everybody. I loved his interventions at our conventions. Proud to have known him. @eamonryan.bsky.social @rodericogorman.bsky.social

The deadline for nominations for this year's Irish Greenwashing Awards closes tomorrow night at 6pm Don't miss the chance to call out the worst greenwashing offenders - from corporations, to media and politicians www.irishevs.com/irish-greenw... #IGA24 #Greenwashing #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis

So good to see Roderic O'Gorman re-elected. A tough weekend, but now let the re-building begin.

x.com/greenparty_i... I am very proud of all these people @eamonryan.bsky.social @rodericogorman.bsky.social @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social @ciarancuffe.bsky.social

Small party incumbency is tough. The irony of the Irish Green Party @greenpartyie.bsky.social being almost wiped out in the midst of a climate crisis isn't lost on us. There will be time for reflection, but then the rebuilding begins. #GE2024

On Friday 29th November, I am asking for your number 1 vote in the General Election. Choose a Green Voice for Dublin Bay South. Choose Hazel Chu! #GE24 #DublinBaySouth #DBS #DubBS #ChooseChu youtu.be/DbcFQsE8tyc

Really enjoyed chats with the voters of Dublin Rathdown in the company of Catherine Martin TD and Grace O'Sullivan. A clear message: #GreensDeliver!

Walked the streets of Dún Laoghaire earlier with our fantastic Green TD Ossian Smyth. Counting down the days to Election Day on Friday 29th November. Quite impressed that @smytho.bsky.social managed to avoid both the mandatory green jacket and woolly hat for our chilly canvas.

Want to find out more about #COP29 negotiations in Baku? The Earth Negotiations Bulletin generally has the scoop, and is worth a follow: @enb.iisd.org enb.iisd.org/baku-un-clim... Their 'In the Corridors' content in their daily briefings gives you the inside track on how negotiations are going.

Thanks to Mayfield Men's Shed for the invitation to see their work this morning — where I bumped into my Cork City Council colleague and fellow #GE24 candidate, Tony Fitzgerald. We made sure to get a few bars of Elvis, John Denver and Creedence Clearwater Revival in before parting. 🎶
