Today marks 1000 days since the railway order application for MetroLink was submitted to An Bord Pleanála. We marked the occasion by cutting a special MetroLink-themed cake outside ABP's offices to highlight the long delays for critical infrastructure in our planning system.

It's obviously not just a 'legal hurdle' that can be overcome with another cut at planning. Clearly there's a substantive problem with the project but neither the politicians nor those interviewing them want to engage with that. www.donegaldaily.com/2025/06/24/d...

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

We can’t afford to let the climate crisis get swallowed up in the culture wars - Eamon Ryan 'As the ambition to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees slips away from us, we’re like a team going into the second half of a match 3-1 down. But there’s one thing in our favour'

Yesterday I spoke in Madrid about the bloodshed in the Middle East. Before speaking I visited Picasso’s 1937 painting of the bombing of Guernica, a sad reminder that too often we learn so little from history.

Big news from Irish Rail today. Both judicial review cases against the much-needed DART+ West project have been withdrawn and settled. We now have two shovel-ready rail projects awaiting funding in DART+ West and South West.

Spot on letter by @wildmed.bsky.social! Galway’s councillors continue to hold its people hostage with their outdated approach to transport — a second ring road. The problem in Galway is not too few roads, but too many cars and too few viable alternatives.

Far right agitators are trying to use refugees and anyone who isn’t white as a scapegoat for the problems this country faces.

When you actually read this piece, the reason given is because the Greens wanted more funding for public transport and "hot air" about renewables. We do, yeah. We're playing catch-up after decades of no investment in public transport, clean energy and energy security and we have a long way to go.

The Minister for Climate and Environment pushing for more air travel in 2025… Not a word about emissions or the huge environmental damage caused by aviation — just more growth, more money, more of everything. We live on a finite planet. Remarks like these from you are terrifying.
