Palestinian students are having their study visas refused. Ministers Lawless and O’Callaghan must intervene. The Irish Universities Association (IUA) should speak publicly on behalf of the students and its member universities

e-scooters marketed at 6 year olds? No thanks! We need to tackle illegal e-scooters at the point of sale instead of trying to play catch-up once they're on the road. The law says it's illegal for anyone under 16 to use them on public roads and that they should be limited to 20km/h.

Very happy to get free suncream in our parks this summer! An idea from the winter, making us safer in summer. Thanks to the SunSmart team at the Irish Cancer Society who brought this idea to me last year.

The US Ambassador's residence is in the Phoenix Park and the US Embassy is in Ballsbridge, quite some distance from O'Connell Street. The Martin-Harris-Lowry axis of uselessness can take blame for a lot but they don't control the global oil prices.

Thanks to the Dublin People for reporting on progress I've been making with the National Transport Authority for a Dublin Mountains bus service from Dundrum. In other news, our petition has now gone beyond 1,000 signatures! Add your voice here: change.org/dublin-mountains-bus

This crossing was something I made a pre-election promise on, and I'm thrilled to let you know that it'll be installed in the coming months. Full details at oisinoconnor.com/ballinteer #roadsafety #ballinteer #zebracrossing

Dublin City Council took up a crucial question this week: how many homes should we build, and where? Building our way out of the housing crisis has to be at the core of our thinking, otherwise the crisis will just roll on.

We do daytime culture brilliantly in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, but our night-time offering could be - and used to be - so much better

Following the announcement that up to 150 research positions at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) are at risk @greenparty.ie has called for a fundamental overhaul of the Government’s approach to research funding

📣Good news: the Cabinteely Greenway is approved!

Facts matter. Quoting a worst case scenario figure as the estimated cost for a project is incredibly damaging for such a vital project. I'm glad they took my letter though!

The country needs more homes built. But in our area, it seems our calls for good planning are being ignored. I spoke with David McCullagh recently on the need for government to build schools in our area - the area that's delivering more homes than any other. 1/2

Ireland cannot outsource its future to FDI alone. Research Ireland’s long-anticipated strategy does not match the scale of the opportunity that exists in Ireland, nor the urgency, given the ongoing geopolitical disruption www.greenparty.ie/news/busines...

Did you know that more people can now vote in Seanad election? Register before the 26th of February here: seanadvoter.ie @rodericogorman.bsky.social @younggreens.ie @evadowling.bsky.social @janetphorner.bsky.social

There’s still time to check seanadvoter.ie and get registered for the new Seanad Higher Education constituency before the February 26th deadline. Please don’t assume you’re on the list as voters on the previous NUI and TCD panels were not automatically added to this new register.

Drone technologies are moving fast - and legislation needs to keep pace 🚁 My bill to regulate commercial drone activity will this week advance to second stage in the Dáil. The Bill sets out clear rules on planning permission and noise complaints as drones become more common in our skies.

With Trumps threats to Greenland’s independence growing every day, a strong EU response is vital. I’m calling on the Taoiseach to urgently brief Opposition leaders on the possible use of the EU Anti-Coercion Instrument and the impact on Ireland of the new tariffs threat 🇮🇪 🇬🇱 🇪🇺

1/2 In light of the violations by Grok the X AI chatbot let's look at the gap in Irish law. There's an apparent and dangerous gap in the law. Under Coco's law that got enacted in 2020 the sharing of deepfake and harmful content is illegal so is the using of such material for harrassment. However
