Absolutely sickening. Israeli bulldozers wrecking solar farms in southern Lebanon yesterday. It’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from an “army” that bombs hospitals, schools and refugee camps & slaughters children for fun.

Imagine if we and the media spent as much time discussing real solutions to this fuel crisis as we do on the continued obsession with aviation and maintaining business as usual.

📣 A public inquiry into the proposed gold mine in the Sperrins — supposedly for the public, but not giving them time or opportunity to respond to key evidence 🧵👇

I don't often think Matt Cooper is dead wrong, but I certainly do on his call to scrap carbon taxes, which, apart from being a terrible idea, would also hand the far-right "protestors" a massive win and embolden them for future chaos. www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...

I sat through a wonderful concert tonight that had only two parts of a trio - the petrol pumps are dry - and I realised that if *this* is the trigger that convinces Irish people to switch to EVs, the irony would be exquisite.

The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks. Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December. So far this year, only one electric HVG was newly registered in Ireland. #fuelprotests #speirgorm

“Red meat is actually very good for human health” says health expert/CEO of Dawn Meats, Niall Browne. Browne is just as completely, delusionally wrong about land-use impacts of plant-based diets vs meat, but hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it.

Nooses. Death threats. Some of these “protesters” like the ones who wrote this sign are fascists itching for violence.

Madness. Approving a motorway in a climate crisis. Roads don't reduce traffic, they create it. It's induced demand: build it, they will drive. Meanwhile, public and active transport get sidelined. More emissions. More inactivity. More locked-in carbon. We're pouring concrete on a burning planet.

Planning permission has been granted for the long-awaited Galway City Ring Road. The 18-kilometre route will run from the M6 motorway in the east of the city to west of the village of Bearna and includes a new crossing over the River Corrib. jrnl.ie/7007272

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

I'm struggling to process the layers of irony here. Fuel price protestors, blockading roads and fuel depots, have caused more disruption than a war in the Middle East that stopped a good share of global oil trade.

Gavan Reilly@gavreilly.com · 4mo ago

As reported on @virginmedianews.bsky.social at 12:30: Government fears one major retail fuel operator will have empty tanks nationwide as early as tomorrow, if ongoing blockades of fuel depots are not ended. A source said this was “unconscionable” when Ireland does not have an actual fuel shortage

Just when we thought it couldn't get worse: New law means major energy projects won't be checked for their climate impact They're ramming through laws so they can ram through climate-wrecking projects and undermining our legislative system in the process www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

If #climate protesters had ever caused even a fraction of the disruption now being experienced across Ireland, there would likely be calls by now from rural TDs for the return of the death penalty.

🚲🚶‍♀️🚌 As we're rightly reminded by our Govt, our journeys count in climate emergency. ⚠️ But they seem to have forgotten flying less! www. wri.org/insights/climate-friendly-choices-ranked We know they're busy trying to remove ANY airport limits, so we've taken time to rectify this bizarre omission

In 2024, 24 GHG permits were issued by the EPA to data centre operators in Ireland for diesel generators. These permits are for facilities with thermal input >20 MW, the equivalent energy to power 13,000–16,500 homes. Will DCs be asked to conserve energy? www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

We can use this crisis for good. 🚲 Roll out temporary cycle lanes 🚋 Make public transport free for a time ⚽ Car free days in cities 🚘 30 km/h speed limit in urban areas We do not have to double down on fossil fuels. We can choose a different path. My piece in the Journal this week.

Petrol and diesel hikes: Government pushes the same old fix in a worsening climate crisis

As prices rise at the pumps, the Government should be changing course on fossil fuel use to secure our future, but instead it’s doubling down with subsidies.

A blustery day with sunny spells and rain. We had all that during our presence outside the Dáil today! We think we're now actually at week 382 - hard to keep track! #NoMoreDataCentres #KeepIrelandLNGFree #KeepThePassengerCap #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice @darraghobrientd.bsky.social

Week 379 (despite what the sign says😀) and it was lovely to have @magdalenasedlmayr.bsky.social join us. Great outreach today! #KeepIrelandLNGFree #NoMoreDatacentres #KeepDublinAirportPassengerCap

Week 378. Some of our signs showing a lot of wear and tear. Would be nice if we didn't need them any more. But the way it is, seems like our Government is trying to INCREASE emissions - between LNG, data centres & airport expansion! Contact your elected representatives to demand they ActOnClimate!

Week 377 and it was great to join up with @foeireland.bsky.social 's data centres protest and to have @ciaranahern.bsky.social step in to show support.

Week 376. Blue skies above. #KeepIrelandLNGFree #KeepThePassengerCap #ClimateJusticeNow @darraghobrientd.bsky.social

Hope everybody is okay. This happened just after our protest for safer streets in Cabra. It underlines the need for safe cycling and walking infrastructure.

The Cabra Road was closed earlier today whilst Firefighter/Paramedics from Phibsborough fire station responded to this road traffic collision.

Ireland No. 1 in Europe - yet again. GHGs rose faster (+3.2%) in Ireland in Q3 2025 than ANYWHERE else in Europe. #Climate action, my eye.
