People of Ireland! #YourJourneyCounts Except of course if you’re this guy! Our Minister for Transport & Climate chose to FLY to Kerry this week. The most recklessly polluting journey he could possibly choose. Even as Europe burns.
Great letter about how continued growth in aviation goes against climate commitments www.irishtimes.com/opinion/lett...
Continued growth in aviation deserve must be weighed against climate commitments
State needs international connectivity, but recent weather patterns underline need for careful scrutiny

Our Govt continues with demented plan to build new fossil fuel infrastructure in Ireland- Clare LNG terminal, fails to stop Shannon Kerry LNG terminal. Tomorrow legislation for Clare LNG goes to Seanad. We will not allow greedy interests to rob our future. extinctionrebellionireland.com/resist-lng
The rollout of new bus services has totally collapsed with this new government - and the NTA confirmed this today at the Oireachtas Transport Committee. This will have a knock-on impact for all phases of BusConnects and the Connecting Ireland rural bus programme.
🔪Today the Government Parties are guillotining both the Dublin Airport Passenger Cap Bill and the Strategic Gas Reserve Bill.
Our giant letter to the Minister, delivered outside the Dáil, while he recklessly expands aviation climate pollution: We write to urgently remind you there is a worsening climate and and biodiversity emergency that threatens every child's future.....
As Dáil debated the reckless Passenger Cap Bill, we delivered a special letter to Minister O'Brien to remind him there is a Climate Emergency. We reminded him of his obligations to rapidly cut fossil fuel pollution across *every* sector incl aviation. Call darragh.obrien@oireachtas.ie to #KeepTheCap
Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay Reading the news this week, we could be tempted to give up. But a better world is still possible, if we act together.
Instead of whining about diesel prices and demanding taxpayer handouts, we need to *urgently* transition our HGV fleet to all-electric. Better on emissions, air pollution, cost, noise and quicker, smoother trucks with superior torque into the bargain. www.goodnewsnetwork.org/all-electric...

Cycling 'infrastructure' in Dublin (including a significant proportion of new cycle lanes) is absolutely dire.
Irish Doctors for the Environment@irishdocsenv.bsky.social · 3mo ago“It shouldn’t be the default choice to have to get in the car,” she (Dr Caoimhe Clarke) said, adding that Ireland is the second most car-dependent country in the EU.
The real price of Ireland’s toxic car culture: woefully poor infrastructure makes cycling dangerous as billions flood into road funding. Meanwhile, incidence of diabetes, asthma & heart disease largely due to car-centric sedentary lifestyle is a major killer. www.thejournal.ie/oireachtas-s...

Big claims, but a weak case presented by the airlines this week on the Dublin Airport passenger cap. EU legal opinion is that the passenger cap is likely lawful. The “Open Skies” argument is untested and unproven. What sounds convincing… isn’t holding up in court.
Week 379 (despite what the sign says😀) and it was lovely to have @magdalenasedlmayr.bsky.social join us. Great outreach today! #KeepIrelandLNGFree #NoMoreDatacentres #KeepDublinAirportPassengerCap
Near Dept Climate -protesting Gov’s outrageous plan to build LNG import terminal in state-declared climate emergency.You'd expect current demo of vulnerability of fossil fuel supplies to war & geopolitics would give Gov pause, but sadly we can't count on them seeing sense. Demand "No LNG terminals!"
