There are many animal welfare issues with dog breeding in Ireland. We want to see further action to protect these animals, and fewer dogs breeding under far better conditions in this country.

In last years budget, SEAI was allocated €640 million to support home retrofit. Min Chambers has just announced that SEAI will get €654.5 million in 2027 for retrofit. A €14.5 million increase. A 2% increase.

Having written off 4 years of carbon tax revenue (and no indication yet how that hole will be filled) the Tanaiste spends a section of his speech talking about how important energy transition is to his Government. But what the the measures he is actually announcing?

Tomorrow is budget day, if you haven’t emailed your TD’s yet asking them to Stop the Fare Hikes, now’s the time to do it!! galwaycommuters.ie/fares/ If we don’t stop this now, the price of the Bus, Luas, & Train will likely go up every single year

Email your public representatives and call for planned public transport fare increases to be reversed.

The numbers in the new Ending Fossil Power report from @stopclimatechaosie.bsky.social should be a wake-up call. 🇮🇪 Ireland is legally committed to cutting emissions by 51% by 2030 - but even if every existing policy is delivered, the EPA projects we’ll achieve just 25%.

Thanks to AMLE for meeting with me yesterday and discussing the key asks from students in Budget 2027.

Every piece of Government advice is telling them to Stop the Fare Hikes The Just Transition Commission is urging public transport fares to be maintained at an affordable level to reduce the National Carbon Footprint Please Email your TD’s!! 📧 www.independent.ie/irish-news/p...

The Government is being urged to halt planned public transport fare hikes amid warnings that climate action and the cost of living should not be pitted against each other.

Perfect day to attend the Reilly’s Community Garden AGM with @feljin.ie and discuss their plans for the next year. And thanks for the lovely tomatoes 🍅

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are hiking fares in the middle of a cost of living crisis. And after the summer we’ve just had, we should be encouraging more people onto buses and trains and expanding services to reduce our transport emissions. We do that by making it more affordable - not less.

My thoughts are with MHR and I wish him a speedy recovery. Every politician, from the Taoiseach to a county councillor, should be able to undertake their work in safety.

Are you being hit by the bus & train fare increases? Let the Government know how you feel. Protest outside the Dáil at 6pm Thursday. These increases are a political choice - let’s pressure FF & FG to reverse them at the Budget in 4 weeks time.

Proms in Shackleton Gardens was the perfect way to end the Clonsilla Heritage Festival 💚

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are trying to put the blame of these public transport fare increases on the National Transport Authority. Make no mistake - these fare increases are a political decision and a result of this Govt's disinterest in public transport and their disregard for its users.

This is the reality of changing citizenship requirements and applying those changes retrospectively. Lives thrown into chaos.

Not sure if the Tánaiste is doing homage to Leo, trying to be retro, or if he's just simply run out of new things to say!

RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · last mo.

Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris has said this year's Budget will support people "who get up early every morning and go to work".

Yesterday @greenparty.ie led a protest outside Government Buildings to protest Fianna Fáil and Fine Gaels decision to raise public transport fares.

The Government has chosen to increase public transport fares, chosen to make passengers pick up the bill during a cost of living and climate crisis. Today @rodericogorman and @feljin_jose spoke to every media outlet in the country to express their frustration at this decision.

If you’re angry about the public transport fare increase, join us tomorrow and make your voice heard 🚌 🚎 🚆

Green Party / Comhaontas Glas@greenparty.ie · last mo.

To raise public transport fares by 15% in the middle of a cost of living crisis is a slap in the face to these commuters, who see the hundreds of millions that Government has spent protecting some sectors from inflation costs, yet they are expected to pay out more, every day, every journey.

We’re in the middle of a cost of living crisis, yet the Government throws commuters under the bus.... (sorry about the bad pun, but this is outrageous)
